tradition lives on at half century old shop tftlbtjne jwcy 59 1387 c9 by denise mcdonald whitchurch maintaining a tradition for quality workman ship and excellence that started in 1929 has now become carmen grisctis main priority for bak ers harness shop over 50 years later this shop was originally founded by isaac baker during the depression years in what is now called concorde says mr griscti he had set such a high standard for his work over the years that when i took over in 1980 1 felt it was my duty to match this excellence according to mr griscti he ori ginally became involved in the harness and leather industry at pioneer village where he basi cally became self taught he later moved to new brunswick return ing to apprentice in the saddlery industry during the winter months it wasnt until i joined up with isaac i realized just how little i knew he says however his methods of teaching were very effective after spending all day doing very involved work on a draft horse harness he would point out what id done wrong and it was always enought to do it all over again the next time i was very careful how i did it taking over in 1980 mr griscti set about securing a new location for bakers harness shop do you know how hard it is to find a place that is accesible to people yet zoned for a commer cial enterprise he asks refer ring to the shops present location on woodbine avenue between 18th and 19th avenues its a- rare find however council was really nice about it even if i did feel like a nobody standing beside guys with big major plans now over 50 years later mr griscti has expanded the harness shop to include a tack store as well offering a wide variety of products to the equestrian com munity i offer all my products at a fair price according to what i think theyreworthhesays imcer- tainly not getting rich people are always asking me why i dont have salesbut why should i my prices arent high in the first place mr griscti also claims to nev er display articles so they catch peoples eyes and in fact often discourages customers from buying things they dont need mr baker often only charged customers 25 cents for repairing halters he explains even seven years ago that wasnt a lot of money although he does admit mr bakers leather work was well known throughout north amer ica mr griscti claims it wasnt the most cosmetically pleasing when he made a halter it had to last for years and years and often withstood the test of time hesays however ifound people werent buying that type of pro duct and have since tried to com promise as much as possible bakers harness shops most recent accomplishment accord ing to mr griscti was to design saddles for the camels at the met ropolitan zoo well custom manufacture anything to the customers speci
