Notes:

Hawksville Woollen Mills.

The good reputation of these mills is so well and widely known that words. of praise from the CHRONICLE would seem superfluous to many of those who have patronized them for so many years. But a description of the industries of Hawksville would be decidedly incomplete without some reference to so important an industry. The mills were established by the late John Hawke about forty years ago. Some thirty years ago the establishment was purchased by the late Robert McCulloch, who operated it until near the time of his death in 1896. A year or so afterwards it became the property of his son, Hugh, who now operates it.. These mills have always had an excellent reputation in the way of doing honest work, and have for their patrons many of the leading farmers of Woolwich and Wellesley townships While they manufacture all kinds of blankets and yarns, they make tweeds, etc., for which none but the very best material is used. The line of fine tweeds on the shelves of the salesroom, for superior quality of texture and late style, are not inferior to the best in some of our leading wholesale establishments. The prices are also not by any means excessive. The stock of yarns, hosory and gentlemen's underwear is also large and complete as to size and style. A specialty is made in custom work, such as carding, spinning, weaving, etc. One of the admirable features of this establishment is that nothing in the line of shoddy work is kept on the shelves to palm off on unsuspecting customers. Hands of practical experience are always employed and patrons can count on getting the best value for their money. The highest price in cash or trade is paid for wool. In fact the proprietor is prepared to take all that comes in and pay a higher price in trade than is often obtained elsewhere.

Hugh McCulloch was born in Galt, in 1861. He worked under the instructions of his father for about twenty-two years, but mostly in the flour milling business. He was married in the forepart of 1898, to Miss Lovina, daughter of Mr. Lemuel Powell, a prominent farmer of Peel township, Wellington county. They live in an elegant home a short distance east of the village, in addition to which they own a farm of eighty acres. The father, the late Robert McCulloch, was a man widely known, and one of integrity and honest business principles. The son is evidently following in his footsteps by striving to keep up the enviable reputation of the establishment over which he now has control, a reputation so justly earned by the father. The latter died in 1896, aged fifty eight-years. Hugh is a quiet, unassuming young man and is averse to anything that savors of vain flattery, and what praise has been extended him through the course of this article has not been written through a desire on his part. But he is no doubt prepared to substantiate anything said in praise of his goods and work.
