Although the town of Detroit is one
of the youngest in the Eastern Part
of the County, it passed thru the
same period of struggle in the days
of its early settlement. The hardy
settlers were all of New England par
entage and seemed to have come Ell
Their from along the kennebec or
from the western part of the State.
The principal land owner in the pion-
Ger days was General John Chandler,
in whose honor the town was first
given the name OF Chandler Bill. Ebe-
nezer Frye and others of that family.
who were relatives of the late senator
william P. Frye, also owned large
tracts. When the settlement of the
town began 1t was very rapid. In
its early history the town was an en-
terprising manufacturing center.
Ebenezer Frye built a large tannery in
1912 which was run until about 1882
and employed about 25 men. Nah
am Lord and his sons had built saw
mill there even before building
the tannery and this mill was run for
a number of years. 1t was located
on the opposite side of the river from
the present saw mill. There were al
so several cooper shops at this time
which have since disappeared because
of the advent of the railroad. A
town which can boast of such prac-
teal names among its settlers as
Shows. Raynes, PesaseG, Beans. Harris,
Hornes, and Heads must have an in
teresting history.

cot from the writer "a few words of advice to what
a Young should do to become successful"
The editor prefaced the interview with these
wOrds:-
"Mr. Wanamaker's words worth quoting, not
much for any originality of thought for the
additional evidence 1t furnishes of the general
agreement of opinion between successful and
another. Mr.. Wanamaker says:
"You should learn to do some thing we'll;
throwing all your energies into 1t.
"Tntense ambition and sound common sense will
work success for anybody at anything that is
Iepitimatey serviceable to the world.
"The roads to success simple that any
with good straight along to their
termination.
"Tt is for these reasons that say that any young
man can achieve success if he has sense and
ambition.
"The former will enable him to see his particular
path; the latter will enable him to pursue it to the
end"
Were We to be called upon today, we would say
that the experience of lifetime in the Big Store"
some people call it, would confirm all that said
nearly twenty years ago.
