First Great Cornwall Woolen Factory Hosts Chimney Summit
In Cornwall Ontario the Scottish Canadian backers of the new woolen factory planned a top of chimney luncheon. John Stacy, the contractor, led six men onto the 9th floor top to join Mayor MacDew and other locals. Macklem nearly collapsed climbing the ladder, George Stacy steadied him, and Macklem was saved as the party descended. Stacy deems the moment a lesson in courage over vanity.
