Thank you to everyone who attended,
called or sent fl owers, cards & gifts for our
75TH ANNIVERSARY.
Those 75 years serving agriculture have been a
wonderful experience - with few bumps!
Looking back, I realized that we didn’t give
my mother Florence the credit she deserved.
Mom graduated from teacher’s college and then
McDonald Institute in Guelph as a dietitian in
1928. She taught in a one room school in Grey
Twp. for $700 a year. When the business was on
the farm she fed most travelers and a lot of men
and customers. She was also the brunt of many
tricks.
One time she hosted a ladies meeting. Dad
encouraged Gus Johnston, our hired man to stick
his bare leg down the old covered up stove pipe
hole. The hole was behind the seated ladies, but
in the direct view of Mrs. Fox the prayer leader.
As the hairy leg came down the hole Mrs. Fox
said “Oh my God Mrs. McGavin, Oh my God”
and started pointing. At this point Gus pulled his
leg up and when everybody got turned to look
the leg was gone. The next morning Mom was
telling how odd Mrs. Fox had acted and was
less than pleased when we told her what really
happened.
My wife Marie played a big part, especially
raising our 4 children and listening to me telling
my problems. We are proud of our families and
hope the boys don’t sue us for “getting them into
the farm equipment business.”
A BIG thank you to our loyal and long time
staff. You made it happen!
To all the companies big or small and
especially to our contact persons (territory
manager, travelers, etc.) we thank you.
May we all have a prosperous
year and Think Blue.
