came back from there and I went to work with a farmer outside of Saskatoon. I worked with him for, I don't know, pretty near two years. And then, in 1918,1 couldn't take it any longer. I joined the army. It was a peculiar thing. I never got overseas but I was three months in the army and I was put on a draft to go to Siberia . I put an application in to come home to see my mother before I'd go, and I guess it just wasn't my luck to go overseas. The day we were getting our equipment to go to Siberia, I got a pass to come to Prince Edward Island from Regina, Saskatchewan . So I came back. When I came back home, I came to Belfast and I bought the farm we're living on now in 1920.1 been here ever since. It's a hundred acres; 60 in one block and 40 in another. Supposed to be an acre of marsh in Point Prim , but I never saw the acre of marsh yet. I don't know but that's in our old deed. In 1931,1 took over my grandfather's farm; 130 acres. Allan MacDonald . His son, my uncle, passed away in '31. I farmed it till 1970 and I sold it to a doctor in New York . Wheels and Deals I was at every trade. In the Depression years, if there was any place I could make a dollar I was there. And I went all through the '30s and the '20s. Some of them were good and some of them were bad. But anything that was going around, I always tried it. I'm not blowing my own horn. I was a great salesman, but I was a poor collector... . I sold Massey-Harris machinery [and] DeLaval separators. My uncle was with me during part of the time in the separator business, and we were the leading DeLaval people on Prince Edward Island at that time. Then, [beginning] in 1930,1 sold cars for 10 years. Sold with Universal Motors, and Allison MacLeod , and Poole and Thompson's. Fords. I sold 19 cars the first year I was at it, in 1930. And [when] I think of it today. The price of cars at that time was 743 dollars for a two-door, 850 dollars for a standard sedan, and 925 dollars for the special town sedan. That was the price of the cars. The first car I sold was to Arthur MacMillan in Wood Islands . That was the first one. I sold one to Percy MacLean , I sold one to Charlie Nicholson , sold one to James Daly , sold one to Joe McCabe , sold one to Benny Morrissey, sold one to Martin Martin. That was in 1930.1 don't know - there was more than that, too, but I can't just think of them. They gave us a demonstrator. I had a new car to drive all the time. Course, there was practically no cars then. The funny part of it all, that was the Depression years. It was all spot cash sales. 192 BELFAST PEOPLE
