PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 10, 1985 -- 19 Family jumps at Jim Roefs did not have any life- long ambition to go into business for himself, but when the right oppor- tunity came along, he jumped at it For Jim, his wife Emma and their two young daughters, that "right op- portunity' happened last fall when he bought the Wallace Marlow Feed Store in Port Perry. "This kind of chance doesn't come along very often. It's a nice size business for myself and my family," he told the Star last Friday as he was getting ready for his 'official open- ing" on the weekend. The business is now called Port Perry Feeds Ltd. and is located on VanEdward Drive, just off the Oshawa Road in Port Perry. It offers a full line of feed for livestock and pets, chemicals and fertilizers for the farm industry and all the supplies the back-yard gardener will ever need. Getting into the feed and farm fer- tilizer business on his own is a natural for Jim who brings an exten- sive agricultural back-ground to his new work. : Take heart Ifyoull do your part, well rain you and pay you on the job for up to a year RNS. ------------SSEEEEE--------_RNRANANAA right opportunity Originally from the Mount Forest area, he was raised on a farm, and family members continue to run hog operations there In 1976, he graduated with a degree in agriculture from the University of Guelph, and for the last nine years, worked for the TL. Wilson Feed Company in Whitevale. Since he took over the business last September, Jim has been busy calling on farmers in the Scugog area. Personal contact with working farmers is something he enjoys and feels comfortable with. And he says he's very much look- ing forward to this February when he moves his family to a new home in Port Perry. They are now living in Markham and Jim says that returning to a smaller town will suit him just fine. Jim's wife Emma will take an ac- tive role in the business, once the children are a little older. And with a smile, he says he's looking forward to the day when daughters Lisa and Tasia-LLee are able to help out around the store.
