;EXTRACT FROM A LETTER FROM
.MR.; W: HAROLD REA , TORONTO
"You May .or.may not know that
my father ran .a flour mill in' Knca
rdine for a, great ;many' years., start
ing at the turn of.the century'. It
was, burned down during „World ,'War
I and after that, he' just operated a
small chopping mill, One of my
earliest recollections of Tiverton-:
was. around 1914, when a Mr,
McKee who had , I, believe ; one.
,of: the'firstmotor =cars in Kincardine
took my :Father and me for a trip to
Tiverton: 1 sat on ; my' Father's knee
'1 recall so well: that. Mr. McKee
hid. a pail, and a funnel,which he:.
'carried in his, car and we stopped
'�t'evey�
r creek on:the 'road -from
a • .....,
`Kincardine to Tiverton. to fill up
the. radiator . Taking into -account
`all.the stops, we,made Tiverton in
shortly over an :hour! : What.'a thrill
