C. Jeweii bas experienced. Fifty years ago lest month-the exact date being Dec. l7th-Mr. Jewell comipleted a haîf century's connec- tien with the firm of McClellan & Co., weli-known coal, wood and lumber merchants. One almost hesitates to reflect back to th.e erly day. when Mr. Jewell, as a young lad, still in hie teens, entered the. employment of this firmi to carve a business career. For conditions have entfrely cbauged and associates in the office and eround the yard have al .passed from earthly labors. It was the days wben apprentices and the junior clenk had to work long hours for emeil pay. No stated hours but plenty of work and duties which were nover completeil or eaugbt up. In the daytime Charlie worked inddors and outdoors aud af- ter supper by candle light hoe worked et the bhooks. Folks didn't do a strictiy cash business in tiiose days ,any more than they do to-day. Those were the reel good eld day. when you couid buy e tan of coal for irround $5.00 ta $7.00. A cord of wood would aso he landed lu your back yard for $5.00 for "Blind Michael" to saw iuto steve lengths. It was a good year's business, too when they sold 400 tans of coal anc1 500 cords of wood. Lumber, ;old then. as low as $7 a tbousand 9,.nich now averages about $50.00. Since thon this firm bes registered in a record year's turnover 7000 tans of coal sud around 2000 cords of wood. So thet one might well say this com- pany has eujoyed substantiel growth and progress. McClellan & Co. bai neyer had its particular lino of business ail ta themeelves. Opposition has truly been the life of trade. Records show their competitors throughout these years ta include the following coal snd wood merchants in tuis order: Ratbburn Co. with headquarters et Deseronto, bed a local yard where Knight's Livery now stands; A. W. Crawford, where Bounsall'n Marble Wonks ii located; McDougall & Met- caif, now Durham Textiles Co. fact- ory; J. R. Finkie'Who later was suc- ceeded by John A. Holgate & Son, in the Bible Christian Church pro- perty, the business now being con- ducted by Mayor T. S. Hoigato; and E. W. Loscombe wbo moved frous town noverai years ago. There are at present noverai citizens in the coal business who carry it on as e side lino. A write-up of tuis firus would not be complote without mentioning the names of some of the. employees and the feithfui yeers of service they have given tuis Company. The fig- uires mey not be exactly correct but close enough to serve our purpose: First comes Sam Cendier with 47 years. We've often heard itraid, 11I'd like to have 10e for every tan of coal Sam has shovelled". - Sams Warner cornes next with 25 yeers to bis credit. Thon those 12 years and leas include Nelson Piper, Frank Tomlinson, Ed. Witheridge, Rey Dil- iing and Sid Texlinson. The history of this firus dates back te November 16, 1874, when the. late 1 John McClellen, father of J. A. Me- Ciellan, local Manager Bank cf Mon- treal, and the late William 'Canu thon young men in the full vigor o early manbood entered into partnor- sbip. In April 1907, the firni was orgen- ized intoae joint stock company with Mr. McClelIen, President, Mr. Caun, Vice President, aud Mr. Jeweli, Sec- retary. This arrangement continued until April 1915 when the. maJority of the stock was taken over by Messrs. T. C. Jeweli, James Il Car- ruthers aud Menson W. Comstock who have since coutinued to euJoy a prosperous aud growing business. The Statesmen joins with bis meny friends on this golden business jub- ilee occasion in offering congratula- tions to Mr. Jewell and extendlng best wishes for heaith, happinese and prosperity for meany yeO-q to como.
