| TEXT | Victoria Foundry was established in 1858 by William Buck the present proprietor, in a building on the east end of Colborne Street. About eighteen years ago he occupied the building in which his business is now carried on. This building is brick, two and three stories high, and faces about three hundred feet on Cedar Street, and as many of Dumfries Street, the buildings being about fifty feet wide. The moulding floor covers nearly twenty thousand square feet. The building was originally not so large, having been enlarged considerably by the present proprietor. It was built by George S. Wilkes, and was occupied for a time by H. N. Taft & Co. for a foundry. When Mr. Buck began business he employed about twenty hands; he now employs one hundred and fifty. there are in the foundry the following departments: the moulding and casting rooms, electro-plating room, machine shops, tin smithing shop, blacksmith shops, wood-working shops, and pattern fitting rooms. A fifty horse-power engine supplies the force necessary to propel the large amount of machinery in the establishment. Mr. Buck controls and manufactures the "Radiant Home" Baseburner stove, and "Smyth's Patent Duplex Grates," for Canada; and in addition to these, he manufactures a great variety of wood and coal heating and cook stoves. |
