    Cambridge Mosiac, Jim Quantrell, 1998, City of Cambridge [abbreviated snippet from original text in book]

    __________________________

    Galt Post Office
    Thomas Cowan, Esq.

    Galt's respected postmaster is a typical Canadian, first opening his eyes to the light of day at "Clochmohr," still the family residence, near Galt; and in his earlier years he acquired a thorough knowledge of farming, at the same time acquiring a good public education, which was subsequently supplemented by a course of study in a commercial college. While yet a young man he abandoned the farm and became a successful commercial traveller for the firm of Messrs. Lutz & Co., manufacturers of stoves and implements. Being a lover of home and its comforts, the hard tack of the road was sometimes more than he contracted for, and he sometimes felt like what is expressed in "As you like it."

    "When I was at home, I was in a better place;
    But Travellers must be content."

    His extensive travelling helped him, as a quick observer, to see the requirements of the people. This acquired knowledge in after life served him a good purpose. In 1874 Mr. Cowan became connected in business with Mr. Cameron, under the firm name of Cowan & Cameron, acquiring the business of his old employers, giving the name of the new firm, The Galt Foundry and Machine Works, which under the skill and management as senior partner the firm enjoyed uninterrupted prosperity.

    As a public man, few have enjoyed greater esteem than Thomas Cowan. And now in his declining years he enjoys the quiet life of postmaster of Galt, his native town and is deserving of the emoluments.

    Notes:

    Galt Foundry and Machine Works

    This firm is conducted under the name of Cowan & Co. the members of the firm are William Cowan and Arthur B. Cowan. The business is an old one, having been established in 1842, the present proprietors taking possession in 1871. They have added largely to the plant, which greatly increases their facilities for carrying on business, and ever since the phenomenal growth of business keeps further taxing their resources. The firm is popularly known as iron workers and manufacturers of the most improved woodworking machinery, Harris Corliss and Slide Valve engines, boilers and sole manufacturers in Canada of the celebrated Austin patent feed water heater, lime, mud and oil extractor, and condensor, combined heaters, etc.

    The main factory and buildings are the property of the company, and are substantially built structures of stone, two stories high and occupying an entire block of frontage on North Water Street. The working force consists of over one hundred hands, the greater portion of whom are skilled mechanics, in receipt of good wages, as may be judged from the pay roll of the firm, aggregating over forty thousand dollars annually. This large sum distributed, as it is, among the merchants means a great impetus to local trade, so it can easily be understood that the firm of factors in the prosperity of Galt. The trade of the firm extends not only over the whole of the Dominion of Canada, but their products find their way to many foreign countries, and while this is, of course, a source of profit to the firm, it also demonstrates conclusively that Canadian manufacturers are not inferior to any, and are fully capable of taking a front rank in the markets of the world.

    Some idea may be formed by outsiders of the immensity of the operations of this firm, when we state that its yearly output is valued at one hundred and forty thousand dollars. James Cowan, Sr., formerly the senior partner of the firm, is a native of Scotland, but who is a pioneer of Galt, becoming an active and worthy citizen in 1834. Ever since, until old age unfitted him for life's activities, though even in his advanced years, still he manifests an interest in Galt. The other members of the firm are not only Canadian but natives of the town, of which they have done much to build up and develop, and they have ever been foremost in the ranks of progressive citizens

    Notes:

    In the fall of 1888, a team made up of players from the Western Football Association of Ontario toured the British Isles with notable success. Many of the players who made this trip became very distinguished persons in later life. The year 1888 marked the beginning of England's famous Football League, and the Canadian team played Notts County, Newton Heath (now Manchester United), Blackburn Rovers, Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion, who were members of that league. They also played such famous clubs as Glasgow Rangers, Queens Park, Ayr (not Ayr United in those days) and Hearts, plus a team made up of some of the best Scottish players, but not the actual Scottish national team. The Canadians made quite an impression on the British soccer scene at that time, and the English papers, in particular, are full of praise for the players. Seventeen of the 18 players who made the trip were born in Canada. The only one who was not was David Forsyth, who was brought to Canada from Scotland at the age of two.

    Players who made the trip:

    Harry Bewell, Harry P. Bingham, Walter W. Bowman, Solomon Brubacher, Dr. William Burnet, Alexander Noble Garrett, Alex Gibson, Tom Gibson, Dr. Edward Payson Gordon, Fred Killer, Charles (Carl) Kranz, Tom W. Murray, Dr Wilfred Pirt Mustard, Dr. Henry Hempton "Harry" Pirie, Dr. Walter Proudfoot Thomson, E.W. Webster, David Forsyth.
