He had only $30 in his pocket, but his heart was full of hope and his head full of dreams. He managed to make it to Toronto where he was hired as an industrial industrial pattern maker, but was let go for lack of experience. Several disappointments were to follow. He took a job with a clock company which went out of business shortly thereafter, then moved to Co- bourg to work as a carpenter. He was fired after a few weeks and told that he'd never make it in the construction construction business.
