The Wallacetown sawmill is an up-to-date hardwood manufacturing plant with a capacity of from 15,000 to 20,000 feet per day. Mr. Oldreive was brought up in the lumbering business by his father Mr. J. Oldreive of Glencoe, where he was born. About six years ago he decided to make a change in his work and went to Edmonton, Alta., where he accepted the position of salesman for the Alberta Lumber Company. After occupying this position for two years he decided tiiat the mill and hardwood business was more to his liking and he came back to Ontario four years ago and bought out a business at West Lome, Ont.
