Company, Dundas & Flavelle, Limited, and a member of the Public Library
Board. With his varied interests, Mr. Flavelle is a very busy man, but
finds relaxation and recreation in golf, motoring and boating. He is a
Methodist in religion, and a Liberal-Conservative in politics. Public
spirited, with a fine business reputation, he takes more than a passing
interest in matters of National importance and is keenly concerned in
all measures which will advance the community in which he has held a
prominent place for so many years.

=Hore, George Charles= (Hamilton, Ont.), was born in the Township of
West Flamboro, County of Wentworth, July 20, 1868, and was educated at
the West Flamboro Public School, the Hamilton Public Schools and the
Woodstock Baptist College. His father was Francis William Hore, who came
to Canada about the year 1837, when quite a young man, in company with
his parents, brothers and sisters; he was born in Sussex, England, and
was a grandson of Joseph Hore, of North Mundham, Chichester, Sussex,
England; his mother was Sophia Fearman, who in the year 1833, with other
members of their family came to Canada from Norfolk, England, in the New
York Packet ship “Ontario,” being on the ocean six weeks, and two weeks
on the Erie canal to Oswego, N.Y., and from that port took passage on a
schooner to Port Dalhousie; thence to Hamilton in a farmer’s hay rack.
F. W. Hore, father of the subject of this sketch, was a man of
exceptional ability and was one of the earlier settlers who helped to
build up the manufacturing industries of this country to their present
high position, as is shown by the magnificent factory standing to his
credit in Hamilton, known as F. W. Hore & Son, Limited, manufacturers of
Fine Carriage, Waggon and Sleigh Wood-work. Following in his footsteps,
George C. Hore commenced work in his father’s factory at the age of
fifteen years, to learn the business, and with the exception of a short
time at College, has been at it continuously and steadily ever since.
The Company of F. W. Hore & Son, Limited, are extensive manufacturers,
and their product is well and favorably known from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. They have the pleasure of showing in their office, records of
many first prizes and medals taken in the pioneer days of their
business, testifying to the quality of their product. They are believers
in the old saying that “quality will be remembered long after the price
is forgotten.” The business has been established between forty and
forty-five years, and Mr. Hore is ably assisted in the management by his
brother and other officers of the Company. He was married September 21,
1912, to Miss Emma Lenz, of Hamilton. In religion he is a member of the
Church of England; in politics, a Conservative, and is fond of outdoor
sports—being a member of the Victoria Bowling Club and the Hamilton Gun
Club.
