• Notes

  Colvin & Fraser, Wholesale and Retail Hardware, Etc. Their store is on Dickson street; warehouses No. 2 Hawthorn street ; 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 Walnut street. This house is one of the oldest and most reliable in the trade west of Toronto. Fifty years ago Mr. James Warnock began or organized this business, continuing until 1881, when Mr. A. C. Fraser entered the firm. This partnership continued until 1887, when Mr. Warnock retired. Mr. Fraser continued the business when Mr. Colvin entered the firm, the business being removed to the present large premises. The firm make a specialty of heavy hardware, bar iron, steel and black-smiths' supplies, and carry a heavy stock in these lines. They are also heavy dealers in coal, wood, fire-brick and oils. Their coal houses have a capacity of some 15,000 tons. Mr. Fraser is a native of the Granite City, in Scotland, coming to Canada in 1863. Mr. Colvin is a native Canadian, born near Galt. Both gentlemen by virtue of their proud nationality are the material of which sterling men are made, rising from the ranks as they have to the proud position they hold, not only as business men, but in social circles as well. Mr. Fraser is chairman of the Board of Management of Knox church and Mr. Colvin is Secretary of the Board of Management of Central Presbyterian church. 1897 Jubilee Souvenir of Galt __________ Andrew J.
