Joe Reid Joe Reid, a well-known Scot, whose name was synonymous with the Clinton Piano Factory, died in London hospital on January 20. A longtime associate with the piano factory, in the late 1970s he joined brothers Bob and Murray Draper in saving the Sherlock -Manning Piano Factory from closure. He worked at the Clinton plant as the company accountant for more than 20 years. In 1967 Heintzman bought controlling interest in the business and in 1978 merged and moved the operation to its Hanover plant. Mr. Reid and the Draper brothers purchased the Clinton plant and equipment from Heintzman after the move. They manufactured furniture and repaired pianos under the name of Draper Brothers and Reid Limited. When Heintzman went into receivership in 1980, the three men, together with Toronto businessman Norman Hathaway, bought the Sherlock -Manning name from the receiver. The men revitalized the 110 -year-old Clinton industry and continued to create the quality pianos that the Sherlock -Manning name was long associated with. A well respected name in the Canadian piano business, Sherlock -Manning pianos are known for their high quality and exceptional craftsmanship. Quality, not quantity was the aim for Draper Brothers and Reid. As Mr. Reid once explained, "A piano requires precision that only a human can achieve." Late last fall, Draper Brothers and Reid was sold to Toronto businessman Garth Turpin. Both Bob and Murray Draper continue to oversee operations and the plant, but Mr. Reid's illness never allowed him the opportunity to share his expertise withihe new owner, A memorial funeral service for Mr. Reid was held in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Clinton on January 25, with Rev. W. Barber officiating, Mr. Reid was a valued member of the St. Andrew's congregation. Mr. Reid is survived by two children, Elizabeth and Ian. e Huronview woman dies ter. r. 1'1014'11 ;. 1 R1, c'lI rik., IF4 i 4.01411111111 & 1l abater FUNERAL HOME LTD. 153 HIGH STREET, CLINTON 482-9441 Fellowship Bible (.ha�,el......,...: 162 Maple Street Clintgn ur <1ny February 3 9 45 a rn Warship & Remembronce 11 o, m Su"-1ay School & Family Bible Hour Sproknr Cleason Weber 7 r m F.ening Service Sp''l.nr FindMunnings 7 30 It n lir••, Prayer & Devotion /t06' VERY SPECIALLY PRICED AH hires &d or demeralds dp & rubies.
