AMONG PIONEER CITIZENS WERE EDGARS, GOLDIES, GUTI'IRIES, WYLIES, BLACKS, BAKERS Among the thriving villages of the County which have an interesting history is Ayr, whose one hundredth anniver- sary was celebrated in 1924. According to a historical sketch written by Miss Eliza- beth D. Watson, a resident of that place/the first settlement in Ayr was made by Abel Madge, who, in 1824, erected a saw mill to which were added stones for grinding flour, at the junction of Smith's creek (now known as the Nith River) and Cedar Creek. From 1832 the tide of immigration continued) and by 1840 the 'iei'ii'i'ii.iii lands were taken. Although the incorporation of the village was discussed as far back as 1855 this step was not finally con- summated until 1884 when John Watson, for many years a leading manufacturer of the place and one of its most pro- minent citizens, became the first reeve of Ayr. David Goldie, who conducted the flour mill, was also a prominent figure, taking an active interest in municipal affairs. 1824 was Date of first hrr $ettlatait; Village Incorporated in 1855 Jedburgh and Nithvale, both parts of Ayr, seemed to have started as separate settle- ments. John Hall came to Jedburgh in, 1832 and establish- ed both a flour mill and a dis: tillery. Later a Mr. Colcleugh established a second distillery and Mr. James Piper a woollen mill.

All records for volume of business were surpassed in 1936, the figures showing the large estimated total of 1,570,000 pounds of butter manufactured, a substantial in- crease over the previous year of approximately 17,000 pounds. It is interesting to note that during the period from 1018 to 1036 there was a gain in the butter output of 1,219,788 pounds. A. BAUER Robert Wyllie succeeded in hae- ing the poatoMee established and Mudge's Mills renamed Ayr, the name probably having been chosen because of the number of Ayrshire people in the neighborhood, amongst whom were Blacks, Edgars, Goldies,' Wyllies and Guthries.

The highly gratifying nature of the reports of this outstanding Farmers' Co-Operative Creamery Company will be a matter of strong satisfaction to its steadily growing circle of patrons now numbering close to fourteen hundred in the county of Waterloo and adjoining counties, and reflects the conservative yet progressive and able management which has always characterized this leading Ontario Co-operative Creamery Company. One of the chief reasons for the wonderful success of the company is attributed to the fact that it is operated on a real co- operative plan, which means that after the costs of making butter are met, the surplus earnings are paid to the patrons in the way of highest prices for its product. 1919 1923 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 1935 1936 USEFUL CHRISTMAS GIFT an!
