C.W. Mack was inventor of the cushion backed rubber stamp. He was the original owner of what is now Belfountain Conservation Area on the west branch of the Credit River, an hour (by automobile using today’s roads) outside of Toronto. Mack used the property for his summer residence, where he built a waterfall, suspension bridge, and caves, all of which still exist. The company currently is located in Ajax, Ontario.
