Interviewer: Did they ever have sort of a central stable for the town? Speaker: Oh yes, yes. There was what we called the livery stables and you could always go there and have your horse fed. You'd unhitch the horse and the horse would be put in a stall and fed while you were doing your visiting, or doing your business that you came to town or city for. Ah, sometimes horses were kept in the livery stables for several days if a person was making an extended visit. Other times they'd just be there long enough to be fed their hay and oats and on their way again.

It was in that area. Interviewer: How many horses would he have to look after? Speaker: I haven't much idea. ... But anyway we were talking about livery stables. ... Oh I forgot when I was talking about livery stables about J.-C.-Lynne.

... he had one special pony that he would hook to a buggy and take in. But he had to get into the town of Perth in time to unhook the horse and buggy, put it in the livery stable behind the, ah, what is now- or was known as the Imperial Hotel, and then walk several blocks to the high school.
