Hiram Walker
Hiram Walker (July 4, 1816 – January 12, 1899) was an American entrepreneur and founder of the Hiram Walker and Sons Ltd. distillery Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Walker was born in East Douglas, Massachusetts, and moved to Detroit in 1838.〔"Walkerville in 1894." Detroit Sunday News-Tribune, June 3, 1894. Rpr. in "Walkerville in 1894: A View of Hiram Walker through Contemporary Eyes." Ed. Kevin B. Casey. Spirit, Spring 1961, 9-11.〕 He purchased land across the Detroit River, just east of what is Windsor, Ontario, and established a distillery in 1858 in what would become Walkerville, Ontario.〔"The Legacy of Hiram Walker: "Born on the Fourth of July"" Willistead Classic, January 1, 1994, 10.〕 Walker began selling his whisky as Hiram Walker's Club Whisky, in containers that were "clearly marked" and he utilized a process to make his whisky that was vastly different from all other distillers.〔Millman, Brock. "The Walker Legacy." Windsor Life Holiday Issue, December 1, 1993, 17.〕 It became very popular, angering American distillers, who forced the U.S. Government to pass a law requiring that all foreign whiskeys state their country of origin on the label.〔"Canadian Whiskey-- The Unsung Story." Willistead Classic, January 1, 1995, 11. Rpt from. Brown, Lorraine. 200 Years of Tradition: The Story of Canadian Whisky. Markham, Ont.: Fitzhenry & Whiteside, 1994.〕 From this point forward, Hiram Walker's famous Canadian Club Whisky was Canada's top export whisky.〔"Canadian Whiskey-- The Unsung Story." Willistead Classic, January 1, 1995, 11. Rpt from. Brown, Lorraine. 200 Years of Tradition: The Story of Canadian Whisky. Markham, Ont.: Fitzhenry & Whiteside, 1994.〕 He established and maintained the company town that grew around his distillery, exercising planning and control over every facet of the town, from public works to religious services to police and fire control.〔Essex County Sketches, Essex County Tourist Association, 1947.〕
The Hiram Walker & Sons Distillery remained in the Walker family until 1926 when they sold it to Harry C. Hatch. Canadian Club Whisky is still produced at the distillery site Walker founded. The company has gone through several owners and is now part of Pernod Ricard (France). The Canadian Club Brand is owned by Beam Suntory, a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Japan.
==Early life==
Hiram Walker was born on July 4, 1816 on a family farm in Douglas, Massachusetts.〔"The Legacy of Hiram Walker: "Born on the Fourth of July"" Willistead Classic, January 1, 1994, 10.〕 He was the sixth generation of English immigrants, his father was a reputable schoolmaster.〔The Legacy of Hiram Walker: "Born on the Fourth of July"" Willistead Classic, January 1, 1994, 10.〕 His ancestors can be traced back to Thomas Walker of Boston, whom emigrated to America from England.〔Fraser, Wendy Carol. Hiram Walker Remembered: Publication on the Occasion of the Windsor Centennial, 1892-1992. Windsor, Ont.: Forest Press, 1992.〕 His father died when he was aged 9.〔"Walkerville in 1894." Detroit Sunday News-Tribune, June 3, 1894. Rpr. in "Walkerville in 1894: A View of Hiram Walker through Contemporary Eyes." Ed. Kevin B. Casey. Spirit, Spring 1961, 9-11.〕 Douglas, Massachusetts was a small town, with a population of 1,800, and very few businesses, which include a planing mill, a machine shop, cotton factory and forge.〔Francis X. Chauvin, M.A., ''“Chapter 3: The Town of Douglas...” in Hiram Walker: His life, His Work and the Development of the Walker Institutions in Walkerville, Ontario''., Francis X. Chauvin, M.A., 4.〕 He received a "common" school education in Boston, and began working as a dry goods clerk.〔"Walkerville in 1894." Detroit Sunday News-Tribune, June 3, 1894. Rpr. in "Walkerville in 1894: A View of Hiram Walker through Contemporary Eyes." Ed. Kevin B. Casey. Spirit, Spring 1961, 9-11.〕 He left for Detroit, Michigan, in 1838, at the age of 22 years.〔"Walkerville in 1894." Detroit Sunday News-Tribune, June 3, 1894. Rpr. in "Walkerville in 1894: A View of Hiram Walker through Contemporary Eyes." Ed. Kevin B. Casey. Spirit, Spring 1961, 9-11.〕 Detroit was a vast change from Boston at the time, as Detroit had a smaller population, where Hiram was able to find employment.〔Chauvin, Francis X. Hiram Walker: His Life, His Work, and the Development of the Walker Institutions in Walkerville, Ontario ... Ontario: S.n., 1927. 6. Taken from Hiram Walker & Sons Ltd. Archive〕 His first employment in Detroit was as a grocery clerk at a store owned by Augustus Gardner, east of Woodward Avenue.〔Chauvin, Francis X. Hiram Walker: His Life, His Work, and the Development of the Walker Institutions in Walkerville, Ontario ... Ontario: S.n., 1927. 2. Taken from Hiram Walker & Sons Ltd. Archive〕 His general tasks were to order, receive, check and price out all the goods in which the company dealt with. Through this, he gained knowledge and experience of the business world. At this time, Boston was the major metropolis of New England, the Eastern Seaboard, and served as the heart of old America. Walker, as well as many other youthful New Englanders, were drawn to the opportunity of the Mid-West and beyond, largely in part to the expansion and development of the railway.〔Francis X. Chauvin, M.A., ''“Chapter 5: Biography of Hiram Walker” in Hiram Walker: His life, His Work and the Development of the Walker Institutions in Walkerville, Ontario''., Francis X. Chauvin, M.A., 1.〕
