| TEXT | Cigar Makers, produce from fifteen to twenty-five thousand cigars per week, for which six to eight hundred pounds of leaf tobacco are consumed. The work is performed by hand, and gives employment to a force of fifteen to twenty hands, one-third of them are women. Paterson's Wholesale Confectionery and Cigar Manufactory.- The above enterprize was established by Leeming and Paterson, in the west end of the building now occupied by the factory, in April, 1863. They employed about fifteen or sixteen hands, and manufactured certain lines of candies and cigars. In 1872 Mr. Leeming withdrew from the firm, and since then Mr. Paterson has been sole proprietor of the business. Owing to the rapid growth of the business, he purchased the adjoining building, which he now occupies, and in the near future he will again enlarge his factory. He employs seventy-five hands, and uses about one ton of sugar a day, and about twenty-three barrels of flour per diem. He manufactures annually about 1,500,000 cigars and all his goods find quick and ready sale in the markets of Ontario. The power for his machinery is furnished by a large steam engine. His manufactures consist of plain and fancy candies, biscuit, and Havana and seed leaf cigars, the tobacco for the latter being purchased at New York and in the Connecticut markets. He employs five travelling salesmen, and has four waggons on the road. At his branch house at Belleville five men are employed. Another branch is located at St. Catharine's. Mr. Paterson's business has doubled itself in the past five years, and has reached such dimensions that he is obliged to increase his facilities and enlarge his quarters for manufacturing more extensively. |
