SOLD SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF REAL ESTATE IN WELLAND
[Welland Telegraph, 15 April 1910]
Today-the fifteenth day of April-is the fifth anniversary of the opening of the offices of the Welland Realty Company in Welland, the fifth anniversary of the advent of B.J. McCormick, to the business community of Welland.
A wonderful transformation has taken place in this old town in those five years. Then the population was only a dozen or so over eighteen hundred. Now it is over three times that figure, and B.J. has done more than any other person to bring about that change. He has been the means of bringing to Welland several million dollars of investment in industries, industries today employing their hundreds of men.
These enterprises had the direct effect of multipying by six the number of workingmen’s homes. Indeed, the ramifications of this progress have been felt in every department of local business.
In these five years Mr. McCormick has sold over seven hundred thousand dollars worth of local real estate, and he enjoys the proud record of never having had one dissatisfied client. Only once was a claim adjusted by the courts, and that was in a friendly suit to establish a precedent.
B.J. is the most lavish user of printer’s ink this old county ever saw. Since the day he first saw Welland until this morning, he has splashed it on thick and often. The result has been that he has made the firm name a household word throughout the peninsula, and has carried the name of Welland throughout the broad areas of Canada and the United States.
On this birthday The Telegraph hastens with its heartiest congratulations.
