2856	Undated Newspaper Clipping Credit Bureau Chief, Ivan Bowman Dies Ivan Bowman, founder and president of the Credit Bureau of Kitchener and Waterloo, died Sunday at St. Mary's Hospital after a brief illness. He was 71. Mr. Bowman, who resided at 1016 Wilson Ave., was born in Kitchener and lived here all his life. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Bowman. He started the credit bureau in 1928 as a one-man operation. "Business was terrible," he recalled recently. "For a long time I was fortunate to make $5 a week, hardly enough to keep body and soul together." At that time he operated from his mother's home on Francis Street. After a couple of years business improved and he moved to a one-room office above a store on King Street East. After two more office location changes, both on King Street, the bureau was moved in 1952 to 31 College St. where it has doubled its space since that time. Today it is a more than $1,000,000 - a - year business employing a staff of 35. Mr. Bowman reported to the office every day until he became ill in June.

2858	Unknown Newspaper Date about March 24, 1938 MAN ESCAPED DEATH TWICE G. Holtzman Recalls On His 91st Birthday Anniversary Nearly 60 years ago the hand of fate reached out and saved the life of Gabriel Holtzman, and today on the ocassion of his 91st birthday, he retells the story. Mr. Holtzman who led a very active life for many years is now retired, living at the home of his eldest daughter, Mrs. J. B. Dennis, 10 Homewood Ave. On two occasions Mr. Holtzman had narrow escapes from death, but the most miraculous was shortly after his marriage while engaged in logging operations. "One winter I leased a section of bush and, with the help of a teamster, I was hauling logs to my mill. The oxen we used were quite wild and the driver stood at their heads while I connected the logging chain around a big log" he reminisced. "I was sure that the chain from the whipple-tree was secure and just as I was about to step back from fastening the chain, the team started with a jerk and ran away". By some miracle the chain had became unfastened or Mr. Holtzman would have been crushed beneath the large log. Mr. Holtzman's first escape from death occurred in his youth. He was swimming with a group of boys when two boys suddenly jumped on his back. "It was only in fun" he related "but they held me under water too long. I managed to reach the shore but I felt very sick for some time". Mr. Holtzman was born in Phillipsburg on March 24, 1847, a son of Rev. and Mrs H. J. Holtzman. At the time of his birth his father was a blacksmith but later entered the ministry. Mr. Holtzman was one of a family of 11. Two brothers and one sister are still living. A BAD BARGAIN At the age of eight he left home to work for a Blenheim township farmer. He worked for four years before he realized he had made a bad deal. He had offered his services in return for a horse and buggy on his 21st birthday! For his four years of labor the nonagenarian never received a cent. Leaving the farm he entered the carpentry trade. In 1871, at the age of 24, he was married to Magdalena Surerus. "At that time I had to walk 20 miles to do my courting".	Holtzman, Gabriel (I26322)
