The Kilties were going by. s "How typically Canadian ate the Kilties," he remarked, "We, on our side of the big pond associate the Highland uniform as much with Canada as with Scotland. . Why ast?" , on «i Ji oan : The reply was to the effect that it was because the Scotch had con- tributed so largely to the settlement and upbuilding "of the Dominion and so many Canadians of Scottish ancestry had made themselves worthy of high ranks in the history of Canada. Among these Canadiar's of Scotch parentage who have won a place among Canada's great builders of industry we must reckon Gordon M. McGregor of Ford, Ont. 3 About the year 1850 Mr. McGregor's grandparents: set out from Glasgow, Scotland to settle in what was 'then a' new and far away country--Canada. A few years later we find them located in Sarnia, Ontario, where a son, William, was born, When still a young man William McGregor took a very active inter- estin the business and political life of the country and was elected' a member of the Dominion Parliament, serving his country and his dis- trict well and faithfully for twenty years. Gordon McGregor about whom this is written was the son of Wilham McGregor was born at Windsor, Ontario. As Gordon McGregor grew to manhood he capably assumed much of the business cares of his father. William McGregor eventually became interested in the Walkerville Wagon Co,, at Walkerville, Ont., and, shortly after, his son was made Manager of the firm. Here the son began to show that business foresight that has made him one of the prominent figures in the business world of About this time an event took place in the carriage and Waggon industry that caused the greatest concern. This was the advent and the establishment of the automoble as a practical vehicle Some dealers and 'builders were so alarmed that they thought their business would go to immediate rack and ruin and that the auto would supersede horse-drawn vehicles entirely. © Others were cvol headed enough to see the advantages that this new industry afforded and govern ed themselves accordingly : Among the latter was Gordon McGregor, who believed that he could successfully enter upon the business of manufacturing automobiles and lapked about him for wise methods of doing this. He got in touch with many manufacturers and looked over many makes of cars. Finally, he decided on one make and effected arrangements for its producton in this country. The car he chose was the Ford: He then tried to induce some of his friends in Canada to invest in the project and encountered all the usual cold disheartening "difficulties Attendant upon. the organization 'of a new 'and untried propo: sition. If they could have looked ten to eleven years ahead he would have had no worries over the organization of a company even double * or quardruple the size. : No stock was offered for sale outside of the Dominion until all Canadians had been given an opportunity to subscribe, ; Finally, in August 1904, they organized the company with a capital of $125,000. Then came the difficulties of manufacture and for three yeurs it Was a constant struggle to win success. But success came and a greater success than the founders ever Sreatied « pia Shoes alShuding Ly truly mafvelous facts and figures is is Gordon of Ford, Ontario and oda of For tr or i" Ford ones tion: ur towns uj Gand for their eamings.
