S ~auaReporter VissIndustry Esalshed Here Five Years Ago Kunowu as Bowmanviile Wool Co. làeo Berger was doing all right lu his wool pulling plant on Li- erty St. south, until about a year *go-then the bottomn fell out a! thec wool business. Wool that once sold a! an un- precedented $2.50 a pound, drap- ped to 80 cents. Pickled sheep- ikins once brought $24 a dozen; now a dozen goes for $5. Bath roducts are the mainstay o! the owmanville Wool Company. But Lea Berger isn't down- bearted. The market's bound ta get. better i bis estimation, and When it does, he will once mare swing into full production and again employ five people. How came there's no money li the.,wool pulling business a! the present time?" Mn. Berger was asked. ' "The Korean war scare prompt- cd civilians ta buy plenty o! woollen goods and caused a wool shortage," the !actory owner ne- plied. lI arder ta ensune suffi- cdent wool for national defence needs bath the United States and Canadian governments bought huge quantities in Australia and New Zealand and jammed home warehouses. Glut On Market "But they didn't need as much &a they expected," Mr. Berger said. explaining the low pnice brought by wool. "Thene's still a c lut on the market." But the $u- ne l far fnom shadowy. Th ivilian trade is starting ta pick up agaîn, and with increased con- sumption, the Bowmanville Wo Company migbt possibly be baci in full production within a year. Leo Berger is a tall man, bald- ish on top o! a hcad that once boasted a mane a! long black bair. He was born un Vilna, Po- land, but came ta Canada in 1937 and joined a tannery company in Montreal. He was in tbe busi- ness eight years and was tannen3 supeintendent when he decidec ta open his own tannery plant. The tannery didn't matenialize; the wool company did. Mr. Ber- ger bas been in Bowmanville f0r a littie better than five years. Sue Canal, bis two-ycar-ald daughtcr was born here, but bis fins! daughtenn, Shamron, was born in Montreal. The family live at 5 Victoria St. If the ordinary citizen coulci take a peek inside the long (100 x 25 geet) narnow building they would immediately stop referrinil ta the ncd plant as a tannery. Wool, washed and unwashed, can be seen eveywhere. Some o! it is top grade, same is waste, but ah o! it is piled up high and dry waiting for a market. When openating at full capacity the plant can produce 2,000 Ibo. af wool a week. How To Do It The big question in neaders minds as this us nead will probab- ly be: "How does the plant oper- ate?"
