Pas- sessed of these three qualities as rhis sole capital,. John Stacey be- gan at the age of 13 ta work his oway ta the top. How he succeed- ed is told ail too"brlefly herewith. Early Yearu Born at Uptown, Torquay, Eng- land, in 1867, his mother was a daughter of the late Lord New- bury. Wben John was 5 years aid the family came to Canada, set- tled on a farma near Courtice, 5 miles west of Bowmanvîlle. When John was 13 his father met with an accident and the young lad had to pitch in and take the lead in the family circle which grew ta 12 children. Hie attended a scbool on the 2nd concession during win- ter months and in time entered the building trade. While stili a young man be cm- ployed as many as 10 or 15 men and built maQy barns in Durham and Ontario Counties and then moved to Oshawa some 50 years ago when he saw the industrial possibilities shaping up. Here he found his personal qualities of en- *ergy, brains ànd integrity the bas- is for a bank credit to enter con- tracting on a large scale. Organiizmg Genlus Employing upwards of 100 men and many teams of horses, be- fore the age of tractors, Mr. Stac- ey was busy for years almost night and day keeping up with the demand for new bouses and factories and the records he made in speed of construction challenge anything since in this age of ma- chinery. Ta keep up with ma- teniais required he operated bis own planing miii aside frorn his contracting 'business. Mr. Stacey worked out bis own scheme of mass production and set up a record of building 60 houses for the Maileable Iron Works in 59 days. Page Hon. C. D. Howe! And they were ail 6 and 7 room brick houses. His success brought him ta the notice of Toronto in- dustrialists and in that city he made even more notable records. Record Builder Under contract with the Taylor Soap Co. Mr. Stacey built 100 bouses alang the Don Rivet in 90 days and they stili stand as a mon- ument of sound construction. To build a brick bouse in 22 hours was something to talk about those days and even more to talk about these days for that speed has be- corne a iost art. In the industrial sphere, Mr. Stacey built the first unit.s of the factories of the McLaugbiin Car- niage Co. back in 1895 and the greater parts of the plants west of Division St. lie was a great friend and admirer of tbe late Robert McLaughiin, founder of the firm. Other plants erected by Mr. Stac- ey were those of Fittings Limited, The Phillips Company and the T. Eaton building. These are but a few of the higb- lights of the building cancer of Mr. Stacey and the records he set up can be repeated over and over again in more than 700 bous- es and numerous factonies be built in bis adopted city. In Public Life But this is oniy part o! bis re- markabie story. How he found time to take part in municipal af- î fairs and stili run'all the details; of his contracting business is a 1 mysteny.
