W.G. Somerville, Agricultural Hall
[Souvenir of the Town of Welland Issued August 22, 1902, by the Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle, Publishing]
Located on North Main Street, between West Main and the river bridge, is the agricultural implement warehouse of Mr. W. G. Somerville, who has successfully conducted the same for nearly a quarter of a century. Mr Somerville occupies a three story building, 50×70, including basement, the latter being for storage, the main floor for farm machinery and machine sundries, together with a commodious office, and an apartment for the sale of the Newcombe piano and Dominion organ, this latter being in charge of the son. The upper floor is for the display and sale of light carriages and farm wagons. Mr Somerville is the accredited representative in this section for the Massey Harris Co’s farm machinery, comprising binders, rakes drills, cultivators, disc harrows, etc. in addition to which he is the agent for the Sawyer-Massey Co’s threshing road machinery and rock crushers and engines. Mr Somerville also represents the Canada Carriage Co., of Brockville, and the Wm Gray & Sons of Chatham, manufacturers of light single and double carriages of all kinds, open or closed, rubber tired and otherwise; as also a superior line of sleighs, at prices that are compatible with the style and workmanship of the article desired. In farm wagons he deals in the Bain of Woodstock, and the Adams Wagon Co., of Brantford, all of which are well known for durability and service. He also deals in the celebrated Verity Plow Co, plows, steel rollers and scufflers, as also the Wilkinson plows, steel rollers and scapers, and represents the Battle Estate in the sale of cement, and the best American Ohio sewer pipe. Mr Somerville is one of Welland’s progressive citizens, and when a member of the town council, and chairman of the market committee, was the prime mover in securing the new town hall, which is one of the finest structures of its character to be found in any town the size of Welland.
