their crop which was the product of approximately 150 acres This building is now owned by the two sons of Edward Mac - Fadyen , Wendall and Gerald who like their father are very large and successful growers and each year find this seventy five car storage barely adequate to store their crop. Louis and Hedley Muttart also found it necessary to have additional storage for their large growing activities and as a far storage and trading place of business they erected a sizeable warehouse here and carry on extensive trading under the firm name of L. H . and H. L. Muttart . Leonard McCarville and his brother Mark also felt the need of a storage warehouse and about this time, they built one on the west side of Carleton Station . A railway spur line was put in to facilitate the handling of car lots of potatoes fertilizer etc. This building has served as a place of business for several con¬ cerns and very extensive business has been conducted here. First by the original owners later by G. Clayton Green now of Emer¬ ald. The P.E-I . Potato Grower's Association, Douglas Bell, Nor¬ mal! Reeves and now owned and operated by Stanley Mayhew of Kinkora . Russel Hamill who for many years has grown and trade in potatoes also followed in building a twenty car warehouse here and for the past twenty five years has carried on a very success¬ ful seed and table stock trade under the first name of R.
