| TEXT | This firm was established in this city in the year 1857. They are now the largest manufacturer of the class of agricultural implements they turn out to be found in Canada. Although they commenced upon a small scale, yet, with indomitable perseverance and attention to business, they soon attained to the high position they now occupy in the manufacturing world. Seven years ago the premises then occupied by them being too limited, they built a factory at the corner of Wellington and Clarence Streets. The corner next to Wellington is occupied as reception room and offices. The principal implements manufactured are one and two horse drills, drill and broad-cast seeders combined, single broad-cast seeders, spring tooth cultivators, spring tooth harrows, and sulky rakes, of which they will turn out over 5,000 this year, and will employ from 100 to 120 hands. Like all establishments of the kind which are at all progressive, there has been a constant increase of machinery and appliances during the last few years. To operate these a steam-engine of thirty-six horse power is used. There is little doubt that all shops which produce this class of implements in the Dominion of Canada have a bright future before them; as the tendency to use agricultural machinery expands, there must be a corresponding increase in supply. |
