| THEMA | Firmenbeschreibung |
| TEXT | The manufactory was commenced in January, 1881. the building is constructed of white brick, and situate at the corner of Brant Avenue and Dalhousie Street. Its dimensions are 60 by 40 feet, two stories, with a wing on the south side of 30 by 30 feet, and also a separate brick building, 18 by 26 feet, about twenty feet to the west, used as a paint shop. The principal goods manufactured here are doors, sashes,. Venetian and other blinds, house furnishings, matched flooring, mouldings and fanning mills, the latter being the last description of articles the firm has undertaken to manufacture, they having obtained a patent in December last for certain important improvements, which they claim will supersede all others in present use, and for which they anticipate a large demand, as the price will not be more than an ordinary mill. There are quite a number already made, although work upon them was only commenced in October. The improvements covered by the patent are that two shoots are used by which three grades of grain can be obtained if necessary, and the different seeds, chess, &c., are carried into separate boxes. To the east of the building is the engine and boiler house, the former being 35 horse power and the latter 15 horse power. The number of hands employed weekly averages over twelve, although at times there are as many as eighteen or twenty. In connection with the factory there are commodious premises adjoining, where lumber and manufactured goods are stored preparatory to shipping. This firm, Costin Brothers, do considerable business by shipping prepared lumber for different parts of buildings to Manitoba, the balance of their trade being local. Although the factory has only been in existence scarcely two years, an immense amount of work has been turned out, and the coming year will witness a very large increase. |
