History
Hattie Bros. Lumber was a manufacturer that operated out of Caledonia, Guysborough County, Nova Scotia from 1915 to 1934. Primarily owned and operated by two brothers, Joseph Wilfred and Alexander William Hattie, they had their other siblings help at various times. Hattie Bros. manufactured wagons, carts and sleighs. They were also dealers for carriages, harnesses and farm machinery and were licensed to sell and export furs. According to the authors of Nova Scotia’s Industrial Centre their location was deemed ideal to be the provincial distributor for the International Harvester for the province of Nova Scotia. In addition to the business, Joseph was also a game warden and game inspector licensed under the provisions of the Forests and Games Act. He was also a surveyor of lumber in the Municipality of St. Mary’s. Alexander William, like two of his brothers became and elder of the church, with some of the records reflecting business contributions to the church.
