    Occupation:
    Max grew up on the Gibson farm located on the Scotch Line SW of Perth Ont. He probably learned the cheese making craft at the near-by Scotch Line Union cheese factory at the same time as his cousin Samuel Gibson and later Max's younger brother George. At about age 20 Max founded the Bathurst Mutual Cheese Company, named after the historic District (sic)(township) of Bathurst, of which Perth was the capital (sic) (county town). The Scotch Line was the southern boundary of both the District (sic) (township) and the Gibson farm.

    From it's Tay Banks factory, Bathurst Mutual contributed, along with eleven other factories (including Scotch Line Union), to the famous "Mammoth Cheese" sent to the 1893 World's Exposition in Chicago. That cheese weighed 22,000 pounds and a replica stands in Perth, along with a plaque listing the principal contributors, including Max (see photos). Bathurst Mutual also had a second factory at Douglas, NE of Perth (see brother George's Story) and possibly a third somewhere else in the region (possibly at Balderson, SE of Perth where, like Bromley, there seems to have been some prior family connection).

    At a later date (abt. 1910 ?) Max and family moved to Saltcoats Sask. where he operated a machinery business.
