tanning products machinery etc was teamed into the tannery by way of main street about that time a bridge was built at the foot of willow street from near agnus street across the gully to the tannery elevation this not only saved the heavy haul up or down main street but saved a block or two of haulage this with a four or nveoord load of green hemic bark into the tannery property or a two or

into a superior trade of ahoe leather with the lata william smith as manafer finally messrs beardmore a oo purchased the proper ly and estsualsed branch of their tanning business under the manufactur ing name of the acton tannine com pany which turned out a lot of harness aad belting leather for years but now the plant is consolidated under the one heading of beardmore a oo the property occupied by this tannery waa previously the pasture fields of john speight and william masales with ft to each opening out on queen street the next property to this eastward was the burns farm in those early days david ryder was the tenant for thirty years he workttd this place and he worked hard and raised a large family dave did pretty well on this place though it was rather rolling on th rear part along the o t r there were many acres of wild raspberry patches pickers eame there from village and country dave ryder had a rather fer ocious bull which he was always careful to have chained up or coralled in some safe place where hewould injure no one it was the selfish plan or some of the berryplckora if they desired to have the berry patch pretty jnuch to themselves to set up the cry here comes ryder a bull he 11 kill you if he catchea you needless to relate there was scattering or the more timorous berryplckers out of the patch over the fence to the roil way tracks the ruse some how always worked and scores of berryplckers wen day after day defrauded of the opportun lty to pick the luscious red and black raspberries or thimble berries while th- wily but deceitful rew njled their palls without difficulty kcedlesa to aay ryder s bull never molested a berrv picker i never heard of it ever being really seen in the berry patch well when dave ryder got tired pa lng rent to the burns estate he deel led to own a farm for hlmseir and bought one in erin and later one near ouelph mr ryder waa aucceded by robert kannawln a citizen of atandlng whom everyone who knew him was proud
