Article from the May 31, 1906 - special edition of the Bradford Witness and South Simcoe News featuring local businesses and members of the community. This article provides a history of the grain elevator business previously on the site of the current GO Train Station on Bridge Street.

The highest bidder would then direct the farmers to their specific grain mills to be processed. The building was demolished by the end of the Second World War.
