Notes:

E. B. Salyerds

When a man is assigned to an undeveloped idea, and by his own initiative and ability and the help of those around him, develops it, there can be never be a question as to that man's fitness and ability or to his right to be pointed out as a representative merchant or manufacturer. Such a case is that of Mr. E. B. Salyerds, known throughout the length and breadth of Canada and into the United States, manufacturer of the best hockey stick on the market. In 1876, he started making brushes in a humble way. In spite of adverse competition created mostly by cheap prison labour, his brush works grew. Eleven years later, he placed on the market for the first time his Salyerd Special hockey stick. It wasn't long before players of this sport throughout the Dominion, began to realize that here was the stick they had been waiting for and wishing for. Today Mr. Salyerds owns one of the handsomest factories in Preston. it is located on the corner of Hamilton and Water Streets, is built of brick, 2 stories in height and in point of equipment and sanitary conditions attending the manufacture of the brushes and sticks, could not be excelled anywhere in Canada. The factory is funning to its full capacity. On account of the nature of the work being done, the number of employees is smaller than that of other concerns doing a similar amount of business. Seventeen skilled mechanics are constantly employed. The man to who they credit is directly due is native of Preston and member of the C. O. F. For unadultered pluck and perseverance, the latter most especially; for business wisdom of his decisions and the control and minute knowledge he has of his works Mr. Salyerds has few equals^.

Notes:

Among the early settlers may be named Mr. Isaac Salyerds, of Irish descent. Brought up among Pennsylvanians, he married a daughter of John Erb and with her obtained considerable landed property. Isaac was a man of energy. He built a tavern (now owned by Mr. Alfred Thomson,) owned two large farms near Preston and became the owner of a small tannery, near the Grand River, built by one Andrew Smith. Mr. Salyerds erected a large store, built a tannery on those premises and carried on the business of tanning for a number of years. Owing to sickness and other causes his business declined; he discontinued the tannery and died in embarrassed circumstances. (Having neglected to make a will, his property went into the Court of Chancery where it remained for a number of years, until the greater portion of it had been consumed by law costs. The tannery premises were purchased by Henry Bernhardt who converted them into a brewery and added a number of buildings as they now stand.
