Ltd. in Blackstock to pick up some pig feed. But the high school graduate got more than the feed. He also landed a job with the company, working at its corn-drying station at the cor- ner of Highways 7A and 57. The feed store, which was opened by Wallace Marlow in the 1920s, stayed in the Marlow family until 1984 when Mr. Wright and his wife Melanie purchased the business and re- named it H & M Wright Feed Co. Ltd. The Marlow family maintained ownership of the building. For a number of reasons, the Wrights began looking into the idea of moving the business about three years ago. Located in the heart of down- town Blackstock, the long and narrow building gave H & M Wright Feed Co. Ltd. little frontage on Old Scugog Road. Because of this, Mr. Wright said the business was "hidden away." Also, the layout of the build- ing was not conducive to future expansion and was beginning to show its age. After the long process of find- ing an appropriate piece of land for the business and having it irggoned, construction of 'the 'néw. building began in May of 'this year. J ' The process of moving the 'business to its new location on hway 7A (between the Blackstock and Caesarea cut- offs) began at the end of Septem- ber. The Wrights hope to have everything operational by the end of October. Not only will the business have a new location, it will also have a new name -- Wright's Feeds 'n' Needs. "The main thrust of the busi- ness has always been the feed side," Mr. Wright said, adding that will continue to hold true at the new location. Sale of fertilizer and fences are also major components of the business.
