Scope and content
One newspaper photograph of Arthur Gray. Blacksmiths are not pathetic relics of a bygone age, Arthur Gray of Grays Corners, just east of Gananoque, will testify. Mr. Gray declares good metal workers are more and more in demand owing to the greatly increased use of iron implements in everyday use. Trucks and trailers, as well as farm equipment, are constantly in need of repairs and partas, and this business has to a great extent replaced the horse-shoeing. Mr. Gray uses in his work an anvil which has been in the family for 52 years. For the past half-century, Mr. Gray has been using it himself, and both he and the anvil are still going strong. He is seen here at the forge in his shop, heating some work. The forge, an original part of the building, is believed to be more than 80 years old. It is a trick to hold the metal in the fire with one hand and pump the bellows with the other hand.
