Carriage buildih wee one of the chiai industries l'll1mmerslde_in its early days. The lei-wet carrieze milder in those times was William ‘Poplin. who operated -a. carriage shop at the water's edge on the site w. Woodside to . MacNeillh resi-

ce.

The carriage shop» was later mov-V ed to the opposite sign oi the street .a little higher up and was for many years the lawyer's omce oi the late J. E. Wyatt.

‘Puplin came to Bu mcrsldo about 1663 selling his sta. in Marzate to William Pound. He with the help oi his iiitecn apprentices built a beautiful residence, where Mr. J. E. Dalton now resides.

1t occupies two thirds oi a, block with stables’ in the rear. it is a

square hip d roof frame house with _a cu at‘ the apex oi the root. There wem many similar

houses in Summerside at that time. A loner wing projecting to the north held the kitchen and dining room o! the men. Above this was a barracks-like room with s board partition down the centre. This was where the apprentices slept.

1t was at Summerside where Archibald Maolcan had joined the Christian Church. while learning the carriage building trade in the work shops oi William Tuplin; and which was responsible for his jour- hey to west Virginia.

After arriving at Summer-side his long ioumey. began. He took the boat which ran across the North- " umrerlsnd Strait to Point dc Chine, alter taking on passengers. the boat went through the Strait to Ciurlottetown, crossing it again to Pictou. Here Archibald leit the Island packet and took another boat ior Boston and still another to New York.

From there the young mm cun- tinued his journey by rail to me College at Bethany where this Is- iendboy made a name for himself.

Grady’s Fruit Store

Mrs. George P. Grady.‘ who owns the fruit store close to the station has been in business since i914. And before that time ran a. very successful restaurant in the days bciore the motor car, when farm- ers came in from the country by wagon.

Mrs. Gradys store is one oi the oldest buildings in Summerside and was the l idence oi the late Hon. James Muirhead. who was closely associated with the business liio oi Sumerside.

The part oi the building which

forms the fruit store was hauled irom Travellers Rest by James Mulrhead in i860. The building was enlarged irom time to time and is now quite commodious. The beams in the quaint‘ low ceilings are seven inches wide and seven inches thick. It was used as the iamily residence oi the Muir-heads until shortly be- icre it was taken over by Mrs. Grady. ‘ Mrs. Grady is a native of Hast- ings, Exigland. and became ac- quainted with her husband while in the United States.

The late George P. Grady was born in Summer-ids and was con- nected with the railway. He was a brotlvrir oi T. B. Grady, iormer Superintendent oi the P. E. Island Railway. Mrs. Grady is proud to b6 called a Canadian. although she still takes a great interest in the affairs oi the Old Country. She en- joys a. large share ci the patron- age of town and country.

The life oi a carriage apprentice was a strenuous one. His parents usually signed s contract ior ilve years with a Master. Archibald Mac- Lean later a leading man in the Christian Church in America, was apprenticed by his isther to Wil- liam ‘Puplin. The lndenture signed by Tuplin and Malcolm Macbecn

worth only three dollars. it seen that the apprentice was not overpaid.

The system was designed both to give a thorough knowledge o1 the trade tc the boy and ernpo profits to the master. The moat skiliul ap- prentice was usually the ioreman.

The conditions or work were‘ as severe as the contract. The hours were from six to twclve, one to ﬂvc and six to eight in the evening, making a twelve hour day. The new- est apprentice had to do the chores of house and shop. looking after the harms and cows and starting the fires rciore his day's work would ml begin. He had one consolation. however, that he was not exported to help repair the stage coach which stopped at Summetside over night, and if out oi order, had in be made road-worthy before six the next morning. This often meant an all night job. but thp apprentices were expected to take their places st the shop at the usual hour nest day. The simple ioorl and long hours did not seem to impair the health oi the lads and most oi them lived long lives and became useful citizens. Most oi the appren-

The Summerside Board 0i Trade

‘The Surnmorside Board oi Trade was organised in 1900. on January 25th, with B. C. McLeod as the first President. J. E. Lleiursey. Vice- Preeident, and D. K. Currie. Ecc- retary.

There were ca Charter Members of whom the following remain and were recently made Honorary Llin Members oi the Board:

S. M. Hicks. J. A. Brace. J. A- Morrisori. E. P. Stavert. J. M. Clark. W. M. McCllnIl. A. Stirling MacKay, D. K. Currie, A. C. Saun- ders, C. R. Rogers-

Aiter 35 years oi activity in the interests oi ,the Community the Board has just completed a suc- cessiul campaign ior new members and now numbers over 150 on its roll. The President is now Mr. W. E. MacDonald who has lined up a number oi Committees which are

tices when they had served their time went to Boston to work as Journeyman.

A gig that was built in the Tup- lin shop was still in use in 1921 and in iorty-three years had never ro- ceived any repairs excepting ior new tires. 1t was originally owned by a. buyer oi’ hides. who drove all over the country in all sorts oi weather. .

Archibald MacLean alter his ap- prenticeship went to Boston ior a year or two and then returned to Summerside‘, built one carriage. (it is said. for the minister of Cliiton Presbyterian Church) and closed his career as a carriage maker and went to Bethany to study for the Ministry.

Mr. Dan MacNeill oi Su nide. now 88 years old, learned th oar- risge building at Tuplirfs shop.

Prise Winning Carriages

_ Tuplin was the best man at that time, He learned the trade from hi: lather. His extraordinary skill and his careful supervision oi his ap- prentices enabled him to take prizes year after year at the Summer-side exhibition. An English carriage builder attending one oi these pg. hlbitions was so impressed with 'l‘uplin‘s handiwork that he pur- chased one oi the prise winning carriages and shipped it to the Mother Country. as an example of the work turned out by workers oi this encvant craft in the new world.

Mr. MscNeill still has one oi the carriages made by him in the old Tuplin work shop. Tuplin moved
