A Big Difference When .:. Marsh moved to Grimsâ€" by he had a staff of twelve men and today he has 45 men and they are working the year round. All the machinery in the old mill, which was moved to Grimsby, has been discard ed piece by piece and today there is not one piece of the old machinery left. Nothing but the best and latest machines being in the mill. Four Sons in the Business Besides ‘Mr. Marsh himself, he has four sons all associated with him in the business. They are Wesley, who has charge of the offices; Albert, wiho has charge of the yards; Fred, who has charge of the mills, and Henry K. who looks after the contracting end of the business. After moving to Grimsgby, the firm was known as the Grimsby Planing Mills, aud it prospered right from the start. In 1896 Mr. Marsh decided that he woula do a bigger business if he moved to Grimsby and he did so, lo cating on the north side of the G. T R. tracks on Ontario St. In 1891, Mr. Marsh bought out mr. Bowslaugh‘s interest and continued the business alone. On the evening of Dec. 2, 1856, the Great Western Railway passenger train deposited a passenger on the platform at the Grimsby ‘station. The passenger found himself in the midst of a blinding snowstorm, and as he was only a lad past 16 years, ne naturally wondered what kind of a country he had got into. The lad gave has name as Daniel Marsh and stated ithat he had just landed from Englandy and today he is one. of Grimsb¥‘®s â€"most prosperous business men. / Mr.. Marsh‘s first move way to go to Winona, where he started in to léarn the carpenter trade under . a gentleman by the name of Matthew Bailey. He stayed with Bailey five years. At the expiration of that time be started in the contracting busiâ€" ness on his own hook and made good from tue start. Mr.: Marsh was only a little past twentyâ€"one when he took his first contract. Along about the year 1885, Mr. Marsh associated himself with Mr. E W. Bowslaugh in the planing mill and contracting business at the old Methodist Camp grQuLI}d (now Grims by ‘Beach) and formesd the partnerâ€" ship of Bowslaugh & Marsh. D.

The fiisw job ever done by him was the house at present occupied by Mr Geo. Chambers.. This contract was awarded to _ir. Marsh by the late Benjamin ~Smith. The next conâ€" tract taken by him was the buildinzg of what is now known as Hagar‘s school house in North Grimsby. Both these buildings are now in use and as they were built in 1861, they are consequently, fifty years old.
