• Notes

  Scott & Martindale, dealers in Marble and Granite - Among the many manufacturing industries which tend to make up the importance of Galt as a manufacturing centre, is that solely represented in the town by Messrs. Scott & Martindale, dealers in marble and granite, and monument sculptors. This business was founded 30 years ago by Mr. John Scott, father of the senior member of the present firm. The yards, which occupy about 400 square feet, are located on Spruce Street, where employment is furnished to six careful and skillful workmen. The members of the firm are both practical workmen, and give their undivided attention to the business. Their monumental work abounds in specimens of skillful workmanship, showing the artist in conception and the true disciple of art in execution. The beautiful cemeteries in this section contain many examples of these traits, mementoes in memory of those "gone to that bourne from whence no traveller returns, but nevertheless works of art. In addition to mortuary work the firm make marble mantels, table tops, etc. They also deal largely in granite and marble for builders' and other uses. The firm are persevering and enterprising business men, who are achieving success through their own individual efforts and business ability. Mr. Scott and also Mr. Martindale are natives of Canada, and are gentlemen held in the highest repute in the community.
