THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1931 PAGE SEVENTEEN * Oshawa Fair Show-Window of Fine Farming istrict Carew Lumber Company Old-Established Concern In Forestry Industry (From The Canadian Lumber- man) The John Carew Lumber Co., Limited, Lindsay, Ont., is one of the oldest established forest pro- ducts concerns in Ontario, having been launched 47 years ago. Starting with a payroll of only saven men and acting in the dual capacity of foreman and manager, tne late John Carew, M.L.A., founded the business away back in the early eighties. Ten dol- lars a day then covered all labor charges and other operating ex- venses of the portable plant were kept at a very low figure. Raw material was brought into Lind- say from the Carew limits in Har- vey township, Peterborough coun- ty. It is a long step from this primitive mill to the splendid in- custries which the company oper- ate today in Lindsay and Hali- burton. In the summer of 1908 the mill in Lindsay was wiped out by fire and the present well equipped plant replaced it. It was in the same year that the Parkin shingle mill was pur- chased, the equipment taken over and new machinery installed. This plant has been in operation ever since as a box factory and plan- ing mill. The John Carew Lum- ber Co., Limited, was incorpora- ted in 1910 as a joint stock con- cern, with John Carew as presi- dent and Lieut-Col. Frank J. Ca- rew, present head of the firm, as secretary-treasurer. Some idea of the large charac- ter of the Carew enterprise may be gauged from the fact that the lumber yards of the company run over a mile on the water front of the Scugog river through the cen- tre of the town. The company enploy about 85 men in the mill, factory and yards at Lindsay, gome 60 in the Haliburton mill and 12 in the retail lumber yard and planing mill of the Carew Lumber Company, Oshawa, which branch is under the capable man- agement of Ernest Cay. The company has 45,000 acres of pine, hemlock and mixed hard- woods and is assured of an ample supply of raw material for many | years to come. The principal limits of the company are located in Harvey township, Peter- borough county. The sawmill of the Carew Lum- ber Co. is the sole surviving pro- ject of its kind in the Lindsay- Bobcaygeon district, which once tcemed with industries in the jumber production line. In spne of dull times, the company are running their plants at Lindsay and Haliburton with a full force. They are optimistic enough to tnink that times will change and tte manufacturer will ere long come back to his own. The sawmill at. Lindsay 1s equipped with a double-cut band saw, band resaw, trimmers, lath department, etc., and the ohe at Haliburton has a double-cut band mill with the usual accessories and there is also a barrel stave mill. The planing mill is located some distance from the sawmill in Lindsay and the equipment is electrically operated. In this di- vision box shooks, dressed ma- torial of all kinds, interior and exterior trim, sash, doors, frames, etc., are turned out. The John Carew Lumber Co. also operate a live retail department and han- dle all kinds of lumber, sell coal, wood, etc. Public Spirited Citizen Isieut.-Col. Frank J. Carew, who succeeded his father, the late John Carew, as president of the firm, is a former Mayor of Lind- say, a governor of the Ross Mem- orial Hospital, a member of tte Board of Education and a diree- tor of the Lindsay Central Exhi- bition. He is a progressive and public spirited citizen and has linked up with him several faith- iul and energetic associates. A W. Carew, who is secretary oi the company, looks after the factory end of the business. George Kel- ly has been bush superintendent for the past 15 years and has seen 3C years service in the Ca- rew organization. For eight years, George Cluff has been man- ager of the Haliburton unit, while Ernest Cay, has been man- ager of the Oshawa branch for the past six years. W. C. Revell ward superintendent, started with the late John Carew 40 years ago. Inception of the Business John Carew, the founder of the business, was a practical lum- berman and was thoroughly fa- railiar with every process from the felling of the tree to the mar- heting of the product. In his death in 1926, the town of Lind- say lost a worthy and enterpris- ing citizen. d Some forty years ago the late Mr. Carew bought the old McNabb mill in Lindsay, which had a cut- ting capacity of about 8,000 feet. As already stated, this was burn- I OSCAR DOWNEY President of the South Ontario Agricultural Society, which is re- sponsible for the staging of the Oshawa Fair, Horse Race Revival at Oshawa Fair After a yewr's absence from 'the program of Oshawa Fair, this vear's Fair will see a revival of that popular sport harness rac- ing, with some of the fastest trotters and pacers in the Domin- ion taking part in the trials of speed on Wednesday and. Thurs- day afternoon. To make this re- vival of horse racing a success, the directors in charge have scoured the country to secure the entries of the best horses that could be lined up to compete, and each afternoon there will be two fast events, with handsome purses offered, and with the best three of five heats to count. The people of Oshawa and dis- trict showed in July that they were willing to support good horst racing, and so the Fair directors have tried to get the very best to satisfy that demand, Already many fast horses are on the ground, and have been show- ing their places on the race track, so that a large entry is assured in each of the four events which will feature; the grand stand program for the Fair, ed in 1908 and replaced with the present structure, which saws from 50,000 to 60,000 feetgb.m. a day. The company own track sid- ings for three miles, which are located on the G.T.R. and have advantage of interswitching privi- leges with the C.P.R. They also possess over a mile of river front, with wharves from which ship- on the Trent Canal system. BE BiG FEATURE OF OSHAWA FAIR Latest Models of Popular Makes of 'Cars Will Be on Exhibition Motor cars nowadays form an im- portant part of every well-organ- ized fall fair, and in this respect the 1931 Oshawa Fair will be one of the leaders, Plans have been made for a magnificent showing of the lat- est models of automobiles, and since Oshawa has an unusual interest in motor cars, this should be one of the popular features of the Fair. The General Motors of Canada, Limited, will, naturally, occupy a leading place in the motor show, and will have models of all its po- pular makes of cars, from the hum- ble, but beaytiful Chevrolet up to the stately twelve-cylinder Cadillac, which is the last word in motor luxury. Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and McLaughlin-Buick will also be re- presented by the latest models, and this feature of the Fair should be very popular with visitors to the Fair. Another motor exhibit which should be very attractive and worth seeing is that of the Willys-Over- land, Limited, for which Roy Nich- olls of Courtice is the local distri- butor. Some beautiful models of Willys-Overand cars will be on dis: play, and these will add much to thé variety of automobiles being shown. There will, of course, be other makes of cars in the exhibition, and the directors of the Fair have left nothing undone to enable the auto- mobile manufacturers and dealers to show their cars to the best ad- vantage. . Visitors to the Fair should not overlook the aufornobile exhibits, which are being placed there to show them all the latest features of motordom. airy Products In Fair Classes No agricultural fair would be complete without its exhibits , of dairy, products, and in this respect the Oshawa Fair has provided gen- erously in its prize list, There are six different classes for butter, two of them being special classes for ten pounds of butter and five pounds of butter in prints of rolls. The prizes in these two classes are donated re- spectively by J. S. Kyle and T. B. Mitchell, 'and an interesting provi- sion is that the prizé winning butter is to become the property of the donors of these two prizes. There are also competition classes for 'honey, with two. special prizes, donated by CG. P. Davis and H. C. Lander, the winning honey in each case to become the property of the donors of these prizes. 3.16 Celina St, | When in Oshawa Visit ool?

In the case of the cars in our own display we | are presenting models which have | made records this year in the Can- adian automobile selling field. "Without going into the Gener- al Motors lines one by one, I would like to make one state- ment about Chevrolet. In a year when sales volume increases would hardly be expected in any Guarter, I find from figures be- fore me that Chevrolet in the first geven months of 1931 in the four Eastern Zones of General Motors of Canada actually ex- ceeded {ts sales in the same area for the same period last year. "Chevrolet also considerably ine creased its percentage in its par- ticular price fields. The increase was something like 65 per cent. It is only fair to Pontiac and Oldsmobile to say that they also increased their percentage of sales in their price fields by 17 per cent and 30 per cent respec- tively. "This tells only part of the rea- gen for my pride in the exhibi- tion display, for the cars have a record of performance and public favor that is just as high as their sales volume record, "Some people need to be set right on their views of the pies- ant automotive siteation. They caunot seem to understand that things have gone rather we.l in some directions. For instance, used cars. Stocks generally are 25 percent lower and saleg have heen holding up. This is a much more favorable condition than last year at this time. Stocks of uséd cars are really much lower in proportion to the volume of new car business. From the auto- mobile dealer's standpoint thele ia also some matter for gratifica. tion. We, ourselves, have lost no dealers. This I feel sure is due to our organization of dealer business management, our pelicy of sharing dealer problems with them, and the lessons that all have learned in recent years. "I an. quite confident that fu- ture business will be on a better basis than before and that its volume will justify sane opti- mism."" R. 5. MCLAUGHLIN SAYS VALUE IN Motor Engineers Have Met Challenge For More Perfect Motors BY MR. R, S. McLAUGHLIN President, General Motors of Can- ada, Limited. Difficult as the year 1931 might have been expected to turn out from the standpoint of the automo- tive industry, it has been a year of real progress. Two outstanding points in the picture, as.I see it, are the remarkable improvements of mechanism and design in the cars themselves, and the increased rate of expansion of motor-highway sys- tems throughout the country. The outlook at the beginning of the year was a challenge to the motor engineers, but they answered the challenge with cars so refined and | perfected that they have entirely | met" the critical requirements of a buyer's market.
