landmarks of the village of brooklin the tall red grain elevator which has stood at the southeast corner of the village for nearly sixty years is being de molished when the old nip and tuck railroad ran beside it the building did a large business in the fall of the year sometimes turning over in excess of 1000 in a day for the last 10 or 11 years how ever since the railroad has been torn up only the bottom part of the building has been used for the storage of coal by the present owner w s croxall mr croxall now plans to demol ish the old building completely and often paid out 1000 in one day and those were the days of much lower prices remember handling all that money in addi tion to the store funds caused me much more anxiety at times how ever none of it was ever stolen though the store was robbed from time to time one night i slept with 3000 under my pillow had a pretty restless night thinking about it recalled mr holliday seldom seen these days when many back con cessions are moreasses of mud must make farmers recall the horse and buggy days because then a bit of mud or even a lot of it couldnt prevent them from getting to their market town with a strong buggy and a good driving horse mud was no particu lar obstacle one could get through the worst mud holes with nothing worse than a little splashing and rebuild a storage building and some shaking about some farmers still new coal sheds for his coal and feed business the elevator was erected by guy and company of oshawa to handle the large volume of grain from this district about sixty years ago since then it has been owned by john robson his brother william char les elliott and charles mackey and during the last few years by mr croxall grain was shipped from the elevator until the railroad ceas ed operation w a holliday byron st whit by retired brooklin and whitby merchant has vivid memories of the old grain elevator business for some time around the turn of the century i was paymaster for guy and company of oshawa who had a branch business in brook lin said mr holiday persons who sold produce to the elevator came to my store to be paid in the fall when business was brisk we have these vehicles for use when country roads are bad in the spring we note that live buggies three of them brand new in the sense of never having been used recent ly were sold by mrs everton bar- tier of alton ont widow of the late owner of the alton carriage works she disposed of them when the building in which they were housed was needed for other pur poses she found a ready sale for them to mennonites in the waterloo-el- mira district though some of these people use automobilesothers still travel in an older style as it is diflicult to get new rigs now they were glad of the chance to get those from alton all this points up how short a distance it is in terms of time from those horseandbuggy days and how far we are from that era from the viewpoint of progress the alton carriage works was in operation until 1914 when the fac tory was diverted to more lucrative and necessary war production that is just 36 years ago within the memory of almost half the peo ple in ontario only a few yet had automobiles especially in rural parts there were no paved high ways crisscrossing the province telephones were not yet prevalent in country areas hydro was just being developed there were no tractors or bulldozers the radio still was in the future it is the modern maner to scoff at the horseandbuggy days de spite the uncertanties of the world of today none would want to turn back the wheels of time to the years when that was the mode of travel but the same horseandbuggy days had stability a tranquility and a steady pace which we lack today progress has been in leaps and bounds so fast men havent
