The wooden handles are poi-chased in tlie Eastern townships. The broom corn is bought at so much per lb., and comes in b.les of from 250 to 400 lbs. each. I "'if! i ':. 2& THE MANUFACTURES OP Candles, Soap, and f.ubricatin^ Oils. The trade in the first article, Candles, has tallen off within the last few years, more so than any other. This is easily accounted for, by the general use of gas in the large towns, and also to a still greater extent, by the use of coal oils Ihe^se are now sold so cheap that Candles, even m the country districts, are out of date. In Soap the manufacturers of Canada now compete successfully with those in Great Britain, the consequence is that the importation of Soaps except of the finer sorts, has greatly fallen ofT, and a large manufacturing trade is now done in all sections of Canada. The manufacture of Lubricating Oils is largely on the mcrease, and the quality produced com- pares most favourably with those manufactured in iimgland, and as regards price we can consider- ably undersell the imported oils. So far the manufacture of pine or rosin oil, extensively used m England as a lubricator, has been a fail- ure here, we not being able to produce it at a sufficiently low rate. MONTREAL. CHRISTIE & FREELAND, 36 Jacques Cartier Street. This manufactory was established as early as 1830, by the late Archibald Hume, who after a period of suppessfnl lab-nr retired in favour of W. Christie, who has recently enlarged / ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. 29 nur and refitted the premises, so as to meet the demands of a still increasing trade. The products of this establishment have taken first prizes for several years past in Canada and the United States; and are now, since tlie retirement of W. Christie, Esq., manufactured by the present proprietors, Christie & Freeland. DARLING & BRADY, 96 St. Charles Borromee Street. HOOD A. W., 57 Amherst Street. This factory was started sixteen years since by 3Ir. A. W. Hood, as a branch of the works of Withall & Hood of Que- bec. All the different kinds of lard, refined, fish, lubricating and machinery oils are made here. The brands of soap made by this firm are well known throughout Canada.

The annual product of these mills is 15 tons of fine powdered drugs, 14 tons of general spices, 732 tons or 5,481 barrels of land plaster, 538 tons or 4,038 barrels of cabinet plaster, and 100 tons or 1,866 barrels of dyewoods. The machinery em- ployed consists of eight drug mills, two runs of burr stones, one plaster mill, and a dyewood machine. EVANS, MERCER & CO., Montreal. This firm, which is a branch of the long-established houses of Evans, liOscher & Evans, London, and Evans, Sons & Co., Liverpool, England, bought out the drug business of Lamp- lough k Campbell, Notre Dame Street, in 18GG. They soon rf ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. 35 found the premises they then occupied too small for their increasing trade, and in 1868 purc'.ased the property they used for drug mills, and the lot adjoining, in St. Jean Bap- tiste Street, where they have erected a substantial store with all the modern improvements for conducting their business, reserving the greater part of the premises in Notre Dame Street for a bonded warehouse and store for glassware and other bulky articles. The ground floor to the front is occupied with spacious public and private oflSces, and a sale room where are dis- played samples in endless variety of the articles necessary to furnish a drug store with all its requirements. In the rear is the packing dep-rtment, connected by a patent hoist with all the other rooms in the building, and fitted with all the necessary appointments for the careful packing and quick despatch of goods when ready for shipment. The first floor presents a busy scene, the numerous clerks being all actively engaged in filling the varied orders which arrive by every mail. The floor above is the "Sundry Room," one of the most important features of the business of this establishment, and there appears to be on its many shelves every article the most fastidious can require in the way of brushes, combs, perfumes, cosmetics, fancy soaps, and toilet requisites gen- erally. Most of these are useful, many of them simply ornamental, but for all there appears to be a lively demand. The top flat is used as a general store room, filled from floor to ceiling with bales and boxes, casks and cans, in end- less variety. The drug mills and laboratory adjoin the store, from which they are separated by double iron doors. A twenty-horse power engine supplies the motive power to the numerous mills of various makes in the mill room. 86 THE MANUFACTURES OF !h The Pharmaceutical Laboratory is a spacious chamber fitted with steam pans, vacuum stills, and other ingenious and labour-saving apparatus of the most modern and im- proved construction. Here are manufactured most of the chemicals, tinctures, extracts, ethers, plaster?, and the thou- sand-andoue compounds which we expect to find on the shelves of every well-appointed drug-store. Behind the Laboratory is a room devoted to the filtering of castor, cod liver, and other oils ; and in the adjoining flat roof are racks for oil bleaching. Messrs. Evans, Mercer & Co. employ in the different de- partments of their business about thirty clerks and porters. LYMANS, ELLIOTT & CO., Toronto. An old established firm, doing a large business in the west. ST. GEORGE DRUG MILLS AND LABORA- TORY, St. Jean Baptiste Street, Montreal. This establishment was commenced in 1861, by Messrs. Kerry Brothers & Crathern. The business had been carried on for forty years in the premises now occupied by Messrs. Tifllin Brothers ; but on removing to the new store, leased from the ladies of the Hotel Dieu, the firm decided to in- crease their facilities for manufacturing, and separate premi ses were taken with that end in view. The front building is used for storage. Constant improvements had been effected by the addition of new machinery, until the establishment suffered by fire in 186C It has since been thoroughly re- stored. An engine and boiler in the basement supply power for driv'-og twelve sets of stones, and other machines for pulverizing. The sifting is effected by the same agency. The laboratory is in an adjoining building, where another capacious boiler furnishes steam for heating the stiUs and pans. - ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. 37 ! f JE. -^'Vf '°f ' ^"''"'*"'''' °^«""^^«tory has lately been re" buUtand fitted with machinery of the most improved descrip- tion consisting of circular, bend and jig saws, gi-ooving, morticing, shaping, jointing, and sand papering machines together with patent turning machines, the whole driven b^ water power.

The Hudson Bay- Company have their head-quarters in Montreal, but they only deal in Raw Furs, and their chief business is transacted in England. Formerly the raw furs were sent home, then made, and im- ported into Canada. That system is now at an end, and we manufacture sufficient not only for our wants, but also do a large export trade. The furriers constitute an important class in Montreal, all of them combining the hat and cap trade with that of furs. Strictly speaking there are only three wholesale firms ; but a number of others that combine the wholesale and retail business to a large extent. iMONTREAL. CORISTINE JAMES, & CO., St. Paul Street. The business was originally established by Mr. Gerhard Lomer in 1832, for the export and import of furs, and has always occupied the leading position in fur specialties. The addition of a fur manufacturing department has developed a large domestic trade, to which special attention is given. The premises are the most extensive in the Dominion, and probably in America, consisting of a spacious warehouse, and various buildings used for manufacturing, fur dressing, etc., which were erected to meet the requirements of trade, and are heated throughout with steam. 42 THE MANUFACTURES OF The various labour-saving improvements in dressing, and dyeing machinery liave been introdueed, and steam power has been suecessfully applied, which effects a large saving in . manual labour, and improves the finish of work. This is the only establishment employing steam-power in the Dominion.

There are only four Grlass manufactories in the two Provinces, two of which are in Montreal and one in Hamilton. CANADA GLASS WORKS. The works of this Company are situated at Hudson on the Ottawa, 35 miles from Montreal. Glass bottles of all descriptions are there manufactured, especially such as are used by druggists and patent medicine manufacturers. The factory is built at a short distance from the wharf, and has _ two large furnaces containing six pots for smelting, and one smaller one with only one pot for finishing the bottles.

One part of the premises is devoted to the manu- facture of cut nails. Ninety tons of iron are made into cut nails every week, and from 5000 to 6000 tons of iron are used here annually. The iron, consisting of imported iron from Great Britain and "scrap iron" collected in this country, having been fused, is placed under a large hammer-like machine, called the " Crocodile Squeezer," so called on account of its some- what resembling that animal in shape ; here it is pressed into a round mass, and is then passed through the volling machines which gradually roll it out into bars or plates, dif- fering in size and shape according to the uses for which they are intended. These are taken into the. horse nail, or cut nail manufactory. Here a large number of very ingenious machines are constantly at work, from which the iron, having been again heated, comes out in the shape of nails, of any size or weight des'red. and in all respects complete. In another part of the premises is the shot tower, where all kinds of shot are manufactured; it is about 80 feet high, scarcely one-third the height of most English shot towers, but all the effects of a high fall are obtained by a fan which is placed at the bottom of the shoot, and keeps up a constant current of air. The molten lead is poured in at the top of the tower, and in falling passes through a number of sieves of various degrees of fineness, which determine the size and shape of the shot. In another department called the lead works, the manu- facture of paints, putty, and all kinds of lead pipes, is carried on. There is also a horse nail manufactory, where 200 tons of horse nails are manufactured annually.

Bartley & Co. The St. Lawrence Engine Works, situated on Mill Street, not far from the Victoria Bridge, and fronting on the River St. Lawrence, are among the largest manuficturing establishments of Montreal. They were started in the year 1849, by Messrs. Gilbert, Milne & Bartley. Upward" of one hundred and fifty hands find constant employment here. Every variety of engineering work is done at the St. Law- rence Works ; steamboat and land engines are constructed, iron ships and steamers built, and saw and grist mill work of all kinds performed. To give some idea of what can be done, we may mention a few of the steamers constructed at these works, viz.: The Royal Mail steamer "Kingston;" the Richelieu Company's steamers "Montreal" and "Quebec," the largest stccimboats ever built in Canada; and the " Lady of the Lake," a beautiful little steamer now run- ning on Lake Memphremagog, capable of making 16 miles an hour. The St. Lawrence Engine Works are driven by water power equal to IGO horse power, and are prepared to do the largest and heaviest work ever done upon this continent. Everything is done about the Works in order as far as pos- w. p. Ill ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. 68 8ibl& to save labour and to prevent delay. The licaviest castings are taken out of the foundry into the machine shop by cranes in a few miuutus, a work which, without the appli- cation of mechanical power, would occupy many hours. The manufacture of shingle mills is a specialty of the St. Lawrence Engine Works. The kind made there cannot be obtained elsewhere, and are unequalled in the world. They arc of two kinds, the smaller cost 8300 each, and will cut from 15,000 to 20,000 shingles per day; the larger cost $500, and cut about 40,000 shingles per day. They are very ingeniously contrived, and are likely to come into gene- ral use throughout the Dominion. I TORONTO. CITY FOUNDRY, Yonge Street. DON FOUNDRY, King Street. GLOBE FOUNDRY, Queen Street.

The Kingston Rolling Mills were erected at the time when 10 per cent duty was -mposed upon imported manufactured .;ron ; when Mr. Gait's tariff put manufactured iron on the free list, they were closed, and since that time the machinery which they contained • has been exported. Two of the rolling mills now m operation are almost entirely used for the manufacture of rails. The five comprise the Toronto Mills the Great Western Railway Mills at Hamilton, the Montreal Roiling Mills, owned by Messrs. Mor- land, Watson & Co., the Victoria Mills of Mont- real, of which Messrs. Pillow, Hersey & Co. are the proprietors, and Messrs. Peck & Co.'s Mill, also situated in Montreal, The capital employed in these establishments, added to that which was sunk in the Kilio-ston Rolling Mill, is fully $2,000,000.

A majority of "home-staying Britons," and not a faw Canadians, would be very much surprised at the magnitude and importance of the car and locomotive manufactories which are constantly kept in operation in order to supply the rolling stock for our leading lines of railway.

The Marble used for mantel-pieces, monu- ments, etc., comes from Italy, Spain, Sicily, ajid Vermont, the Italian being the most durable, and the American the finest. "When brought into the factory the Marble is first cut into slabs or blocks by saws driven either by steam or water power. These saws are destitute of teeth, being simply bars of malleable iron, which are im- ported from G-reat Britain. When the Marble has been cut down to the size desired, it is placed upon a large iron bed called the Rubbing Bed, where it is rubbed smooth and the edges turned.

If 76 THE MANUFACTURES OF Pi i t Paper i?laDiiiractiirei-§. Irom Its first inception to the present time would occupy very considerable space. The manufacture of paper, anything like the paper of the present day, seems first to have Keen engaged m in the Spanish provinces of Valencia and Catalonia. In an old record, as far back as the year 1085, there is mention of the excellence of the paper made at Toledo, a city also lamous for Its steel manufactures. The paper made at loiedo was made in " moulds," very similar to those which were in common use at the begin- ning of the present century. The art of paper- making was introduced into France and G-er- many about the year 1314, and was first prac- tLsed m Italy about fifty years afterwards. Durino- the reign of Henry the Seventh we first hear of paper being made in England, and in the ytar 1588 a poem in honour of paper-making we. ™tten in which mention was made of a man ni .f '''. "'i^'''^' ^'"'^ ^'''^' " ^^'^^ paper-mill at Dartford m Kent. ThisSpilman had formerly beeii jeweller to Queen Elizabeth. During the first half of the seventeenth century, little pro- gress was made in the arts of peace in England Interna strife and civil dissensions rendered their cultivation impossible, and paper-making languished, nor were any improvements made making- le would like the ive Keen Valencia back as cellence famous nade at nilar to ! begin- ■ paper- (id Grer- 5t prac- During hear of le ytar llg WSH St, man )er-mill rmerly llg the ;le pro- igland.

In the year 1685 llu t ^™"'«"'»t «f«g«e., who sought shelter .u England from persecution, introduced new changes m the apparatus used for paper- makmg though what they were we are not exactly informed. In 1750, a very importrn nnprovement was made. Before that time the pulp was crushed or beaten to pieces by heavy tampers; but in that year, rolls, armed with ong.t„d„.al steel bars, and revolving at a high rate oi speed, were adopted. This is one of the two or three marked improvements which are especially note.wo.thy in the history of pnpor! making. The next change which we have to notice 18 still more important. We have previouslv mentioned the "moulds" used at Toledo.whth continued m use up to the conclusion of he last kLTo'f'b"?";™ ™^"* '"' ^°»« p-«->- kmd of bank-note paper. Thfese moulds, with wire baeks consisted of frames of the exact size oi the sheet of paper to be made. The moulds were dipped into the "p„Ip" and then raised thrt: h r' ""*" '" *« ^"'^ """" P-^-d out through the wire, and the pulp was reduced to a proper consistency. The damp sheet of paper (for the pulp had now in some degree acquired the semblance of paper) was then carefullv re- moved and hung upon a line, in what was called the drying loft; there the sheets were exposed to the action of the sun and air until they were 78 THE MANUFACTURES OP ::| thoroughly dry. Such was the tedious process attendant upon the manufacture of every sheet of "hand-made " paper, as it is called in contra- distinction to "machine-made." In 1798, Louis Robert, a workman in the employ, of M. Didot, a paper manufacturer of Essones, in France, in- vented the machine afterwards improved and perfected by Messrs. Foudrinier, w^hich is now in constant use. The first manufactory of paper in the United States was built at Chester Creek in the State of Delaware, iu the year 1714. The first paper mill established in Canada was built at St. Andrew's in the county of Argenteuil in the .year 1800 ; in 1825 another was set in operation at Jacques Cartier, and about the same time another was started in the neighbourhood of Toronto by a Mr. Crooks. Now we have several very extensive paper manufactories and all kinds of paper are made of so excellent a quality and at such a cheap rate as to almost completely exclude foreign makers from the Canadian market.

" Printing: Presses. The earliest Printing Press used resembled a screw press, with a contrivance for running the types under the point of pressure. After the impression was taken, the screw was relaxed the lorm withdrawn, and the sheet removed This rude press continued in use until the year 1620 when William Jansen Blaeu of Amsterdam introl duced some considerable improvements. About the year 1800 Earl Stanhope contrived a press which was regarded as the wonder of the aire' It was constructed of iron, and of a size sufficient to print the whole surface of a sheet. Since that time both in Great Britain and the United States printing presses of improved construction have been introduced. To show the contrast between tne modern printing press and the simple screw press previously referred to, we give a descrip- IhL"! •''"' type-revolving printing ma- It is, as its name indicates, on the rotary prin- IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) fe // ^/ -v !^'4^. {< 1.0 1= 11.25 "■■ lis 12.2 I- ^ 2.0 18 L£ 1116 "^ 7 <£ Hiotographic Sciences Corporation 33 WEST MAIN STREET WEBSTER, N.Y. 14580 (7t6) 872-4503 # ^ rtV iV \\ 9>^ . ^\ WrS ^''j%%^^ ^%^ ^ C/a ^ 89 THE MANUFACTURES OF ciple ; that is, the form of type is placed on the surface of a horizontal revolving cylinder of about lour and a half feet in diameter. The form occu- pies a segment of only about one-fourth of the surface of the cylinder, and the remainder is used as an mk-distributing surface. Around this main cyhnder and parallel with it, are placed smaller impression cylinders varying in number from tour to ten, according to the size of the machine. Ihe large cylinder being put in motion, the form 01 types IS carried successively to all the impres- sion cylmders, at each of which a sheet is intro- duced and receives the impression of the types as the form passes. Thus, ar many sheets are printed at each revolution of the main cylinder as there are impression cylinders around it One person is required at each impression cylinder to supply the sheets of paper, which are taken at the proper moment by fingers or grippers, and after being printed are carried out by tapes and laid m heaps by means of self-acting flyers thereby dispensing with the hands required in ordinary machines to receive and pile the sheets Ihe grippers hold the sheet securely, so that the thinnest newspaper may be printed without waste. The ink is contained in a fountain placed be- neath the main cylinder, and is conveyed by means of distributing rollers to the distrihutinff surface on the main cylinder. This surface being ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. 89 lower, or less in diameter, than the form of types passes by the impression cylinder without touch^ mg For each impression there are two inking rollers which receive their supply of ink from the distributing surface of the main cylinder • they rise and ink the form as it passes under them, after which they again fall to the distribut- ing surface. Each page of the paper is locked up on a de- tached segment of the large cylinder, which con- stitutes Its bed and chase. The column-rules run parallel with the shaft of the cylinder, and are, consequently, straight; while the head advertismg, and dash rules are in the form of segments of a circle. The column-rules are in the form of a wedge, with the thin part directed toward the axis of the cylinder, so as to bind the types securely. These wedge-shaped column- rules are held down to the bed by tongues pro- jectmg at intervals along their length, which slide m rebated grooves cut crosswise in the face of Ae bed. The spaces in the grooves between the column-rules are accurately fitted with sliding blocks of metal even with the surface of the bed the ends of which blocks are cut away under' neath to receive a projection on the sides of the tongues of the column-rules. The form of type is locked up in the bed by means of screws at the foot and sides, by which the type is held as secure] V as in iha ^^Ai^ -.. _..,, ^.^^i^iaiy manner upon a Hat '11 It ^ THE MANUFACTURES OF bed,— if not even more so.

T^lie amount of capital invested in this business in the two Provinces may be roughly estimated at $5,000,000. The manufacturers have nothing to dread from outside competition, but between themselves it is sufficiently keen to keep prices down to the lowest figure. BARBER E., & CO., Hamilton. The premises occupied by this firm are extensive thirty hands employed. About Mcdonald W. C, Montreal. A very large establishment, started in 1858. Upwards of five hundred work-people employed constantly. Average product 100 boxes of tobacco per day. This is the oldest manufactory of the kind in Canada. The premises, situated in Water street, are commodious and well arranged. The steam engine was built at the Eagle Works ; the hydraulic presses used for pressing the tobacco were constructed by Mr. McDonald at the Caledonian Works. Mcmullen, ADAMS & CO., Montreal. This firm commenced operations in November, 1868 ; since that time their business hiis been rapidly increasing and about four hundred and fifty hands are now constantly employed. In the course of last year Messrs, McMullen, Adams & Co., manufactured between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 lbs. of tobacco, worth, in bond, not less than $350,000. The steam engine at this factory was built at the St. Lawrence Foundry. ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. 101 SCALES JOB, & CO., Toronto.

TUCKETT & BILLINGS, Hamilton. This is the princij stablishment of the kind west of Toronto, and employs a large number of hands, turning out about one thousand pounds per day. m Type. PALSaRAVE'S TYPE FOUNDRY, Montreal. This is the only type manufactory in the British Empire outside the United Kingdom. It was first established in Oeorge Street by Messrs. Leclerc & Jones, afterwards in 1837 purchased and enlarged by Messrs. Ford & Guerin, and in 1844 taken possession of by Mr. C. T. Palsgrave, the present proprietor. In the beginning the establishment was a very small one, rarely employing more than eight or ten persons, and as a general thing not so many. It now gives constant employment to one hundred persons, and turns out more than $100,000 worth of type per annum. The process of type manufacture is a very interesting one, and it is one with which comparatively few persons are ac- quainted. Even printers themselves are, as a general thing, entirely ignorant of the labour and delicate treatment re- quired before one of those pieces of type which they handle so deftly, can be produced.

Seven or eight years ago there r'.' 7' ^J""" "'"^^ "* ^"^^' manufacturing goods from Canadian wool entirely ; now we have upwards of one hundred and fifty on our ast ; and a large quantity of foreign wools are imported annually. The Woollen manufactures of this country are suftermsr from tbp w«nf of a ^»~^-- ' -- i,i a maiiiut; a larger ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. 105 market is the great desideratum, and the posses- sion of one would do more to promote the pros- perity of the mills already existing, and to encourage the establishment of new factories, than any protective duty would do. The annual product of the Woollen mills of the two Provinces is about ^7,000,000. Nearly two-thirds of this is produced by twelve of the larger mills, leaving something over $2,000,000, or about $14,000 each as the yearly revenue of the remainder. But many of the mills enumer- ated are very small concerns indeed, and do not produce anything Uke this amount, manufac- turing merely to supply the demands of the neighbourhood in which they are situated. The importation of shoddy goods from Eng- land is another evil of which manufacturers complain. These goods are well finished, and to the inexperienced appear fully equal to the coarser looking, but far more durable Canadian tweeds. The result of the sale of these shoddy goods is, that both the Canadian manufacturer and the Canadian public suffer, the former from being compelled to compete on unequal terms with the inferior grades of English cloths, while the poor man who purchases a garment made of " shoddy," finds in a very short time that it is worthless, and that his money has been literally almost thrown away. Canadian manufacturers do not require any protection against English 106 TKt MANUFACTURES OP Cloths Of the better class; but some protection against shoddy goods seems to be required It 18 to be regretted that scarcely any of the machinery used in our woollen mills is made in the country the larger portion being imported Irom Great Britain and the United States We subjoin a list of the woollen mills in the two Provinces, some of which are not at present running. There are such a large number of small woollen mi^ls in Ontario, many of which are situated in obscure out-of-the-way parts of the country, that it is difficult to obtain reliable information. We have made every effort to do so, and we believe with success. ANCASTER KNITTING MILLS, Wentworth Co., Ont. Office, King Street, Hamilton.

This is one of the largest woollen manufactories in the Dominion ; certainly there are not more than two others which employ a greater number of hands, or turn out more goods. At this establishment tho finest class of tweed goods is manufactured, the wool used being obtained from all parts of the world. The mill is constructed to contain twelve sets of machinery, but at present contains oaly ten, which are in full operation. The main building which is built of brick is 150 feet long, 56 feet wide and 5 storeys high, with a baaement storey of stone ; attached to it is another brick building 56 x 54 feet and containing the wool-dryers, pickers, spoolers and twisters. This building is two storeys high, and on one side of it is placed the boiler-house, where is generated the steam used for warming the establishment. Leading from this building, and at right angles with it, is the dye house, one storey high, built of stone, and over 120 feet long, and communicating with the wool house, built of brick, 100 feet long by 40 feet wide and two storeys high, with a basement the whole size of the building. The two upper storeys are used for storing and sorting the wool, and in the basement are stored soap, dyes, chemicals, etc. De- tached from the mill but adjoining it and within the fence which .surrounds the whole property are — a carpenter's shop, a machine shop, and a gas house, and at the entrance gate is the office. The machinery is driven by water obtained from the river Magog, on the banks of which the factory is situated. The premises are lighted with gas made in the company's gas-house.
