WOTOR NOW FAST LOSING EARLY PIONEERS Ford, Nash, Olds, Durent, - Willys, Frranklin Among Few Left STORY OF HARD WORK Deaths of Maxwell and Packard Recall Stirring Story Within two weeks of cach other, two pioncers of automotive industry died in March--Jonathan Dixon Maxwell on the 12th, and James Ward Packard on the 2lst. These men were of the half hundred who had the vision, the courage and the fortune to embark in an untried ficld against the advice of their best~ meaning contemporaries. Of all the men who pioneered the industry and gave their names to the 'cars of today, less than ten sur- vive as actors in the industrial drama that the automobile presents. Some of them have retired from the ar- duous fight to enjoy in late middle- life the iruits of their energies. Others have passed on. Perhaps the oldest of the survi- vors, in point of years and service, are Henry M. Leland, Charles Clif ton and Charles D. Hastings. Mr. Leland is regarded as the Nestor of the industry.

He is ' man of the Board of the Pierce-Ar- row Motor Cac--Company and has practically retired from active sere vice. Charles D. Hastings was born in 1858. He began his fife as a carrier on a Rewspaper route and got int the automobile business when h 44. At that time he was offic ager of the Detroit plant of .... vids otor Works. When the Lansing plant was opened, he managed bot offices for a season, Later he met Robert C. Hupp, designer of the first Hupmobile. Mr, Hupp subsequently left the company and started the R. C. H. car, which subsequently failed. The Hupmobile has grown under Mr, Hasting's hand to an out standing place in the industry, Mr, Hupp is still connected with the in- dustry, but not as a manufacturer, and makes his home in Detroit, Mr, Hastings was with the original group of Hupmobile backers, who muster- ed exactly 3,500 in cash assets. Well Known Trio Another trio of pioneers, almost of an age, are Henry Ford, Charles WV. Nash and Ransome E. Olds, Henry Ford was born in 1863 and by the time he was 30, after face ing incredible hardships and discour- agements, he, finally built an auto- mobile that would actually run. It developed about four horsepower and held two people. You could take your choice of two speeds--ten and twen- ty miles per hour--after, and if, the engine had started by hand, It had no reverse. If it got into trouble that it could not get through, the only thing to do was to pull it out backward and start in some other and more favorable direction, Charies W. Nash was born in 1864 a year later than Henry Ford. Like Ford, he had a most mechanical turn of mind, Like the others, he had early and advantageous hardships. At one time he worked for the late . Dallas Dort, early associated with . C. Durant in the carriage busi- ness at Flint, At the start, Mr. Nash's pay was a dollar a day, but at the finish of his connections with the company he was general mana- ger. By 1910 he was President of the Buick Motor Company and de- veloped a six-eylinder car--something daring in those early days. Then, in 1916, he organized the Nash Motor Company and launched into an ine dividual enterprise which he still heads in every sense of the word, An Inventive Turn Ransome E, Olds, too, was born in 1864, and, like his two contemporas- jes," Nash and Ford, was of an in- ventive turn, By the time he was 22 le astonished and .:andalized the wwn of Lansing driving a con. traption that sugested infernal or. igin along the streets at 3 o'clock in the morning. There was no mist' 1g the approach of the first Olds i ic.

This was the Reo Motor Car Lom- pany, still very active at Lansing, with Ransome E. Olds' initials for the car's name. Mr, Olds, now chair- man of the board, is still active in al beginnings of t was ings, <i on SOW THE BES \ f ' il 4 > ied ls CARDEN SEEDS BRIGOS SkEtkD « T 'Ink USHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, Arn. BATH ATTRACTIVE, 5 OLD VILLAGE Named After Noted English Health Resort--Dates | Back to 1787 Toronto, April 18. -- Bath, ac- cording to © writer in the Globe's "Bystander the Ofice Win- dow," is 0. of the oldest places in the Provi.ce of Ontario. It was established away back in 1787, when United Empire Loy- alists spread out along the Day of Quinte. Rev. Johan Langhorn was the first Anglican clergyman at Bath, and built St. John's Church in 1793. This little edifice stood un- til" April, 1925, when it fell prey to fire. The charch folks were burning grass in the churchyard one Saturday afternoon, when sparks were carried by a wind to the roof ,and soon the old place of worship was a mass of flames, Some relics were savew, and re- pose in the mew edifice, which is a replica of the old church, but not so handsome a lttle building. More than twenty years ago, John Burns, the well known La- bor representative im the 'British Parliament, visited Bath, as he desired to see the old Upper Can- ada village which was called after the English Bath, which he repre- sented in the British House of Commons. Mr. Burns was nfuch impressed with the beauties of the little Ontario village. There is probably mo prettier drive in the province than from Kingston to Bath, up the old Bath Road. Tourists wonder why the Provin- cial highway did not follow this route along the Bay shore, and switch off to Napanee, but this was out of the question.
