 I'arli.inient Mouse, the itlack on I.uril .Metialfe, 
 the visit of our future sovereign, the opening of the

 history of our city. Many more there are of a like 
 vivid iharacler, hut these st.inil out lioldly from the 
 pages 111 the story of Montreal and .irr worthy ol 
 especi.il attention. 
 
 Within the limits ol a lirief sketch such as this, 
 it is impossible to do more than outline Ihe prin 
 cipal events of the history of the town. I'rior to 
 the first voy.nge of |aci|ues ('artier up the St. Uiw-

 shores, nor h. id see'. Ihe fair mountain whose name 
 js now that of the island. To 1 lany places of im 
 pciriance Kortiine has been strangelv remiss, in 
 that the details of their discovery and early lite 
 have been entirely lost, but to Montreal this, 
 luckily, does not ipply. lew. if any, of the early 
 settliineiils in .\ineriea can show as good and as 
 authentic a recvrd of the beginnings of their his- 
 tory. The rei il.il commences with the, to 111. ever 
 ni'inorable voyage mule by |aei|U -s C.irlier. begun 
 on tin- ii^tli of May ists- early in September he 
 cast anchor near the heights of (^hieliec. .Amazed 
 Indians sw.irmed about the ships; kindness and 
 loutlesy were mutually shown in their intercourse; 
 and one of the earliest items of information gained 
 by the Krencli leader w.is that the metropolis ol 
 ihis sav.ige territory w.is a lown far greater than 
 .St idle ail. anil situated many leagues up Ihe 
 mi, Illy mei near which ihey were. Thither the 
 ;idveiiliirou» pioneiis of France made haste to set 
 sail. \\ itii some titty men, on a little vessel of 
 forty Ions, and two open boats he set out, ;itid in 
 the eaily morning ol the ;rd of Dclober the party

 of the liMVe little band who first set foot on our 
 isl.ind never saw another HUmnier, the scurvy

 Hardy and skilful sailors must have been those

 such pigmy craft. What changes had taken place

 it may he nientioneil as a enrious instance I'l early 
 attention to a siihject nowof jjrcat iin|)>irlance, that 
 he made bricks and I milt a wall along the Hhore to 
 protei t the lillle settlement Iroin the ilisastrous 
 conseiniences of the i<e shove, and to measure its 
 efTects. So<in the alH>rigines came flocking to th.- 
 post with their ( anoes laden with furs, /,nd here 
 commenced the husiness of Montreal. Hut little 
 lime was necessary to conclude the liarter and the 
 Indians returned to the wigwams, the French to 
 their quarlerii at (,)iiebec. whence urgent business 
 called Chainplain to Ills native land. 
 
 For two years Ho< lielaga reniaiacd unvisited by

 yearly voyage to New Fr.iiice. In I()i3 he again 
 visited the island, while f« iciile to a new path of 
 discovery along the up|)cr Ottawa. .\t the |io.st in 
 the I'lace Royale he left the greater part of his fol- 
 lowing, to await hi> return. In less than a month 
 he was once more willi them ; but the permanent 
 settlement ol the locality was again postponed, and 
 Champlain returned to Fr.mre to arrange for the 
 next summer's expedition. For the next thirty 
 years ir. the history of Canada, but little mention 
 i* made of the future seat of its irommercial great, 
 ness. New France was rent with distracting feuds 
 between soldier and ei<:lesiasti<j, Jfugenol and 
 Rotnanist, Recullct and Jesuit. Settlement was 
 retanled, if not entirely stop|ied. The usua' 
 expedition came oui from France, but the petty in- 
 ternal troubles of the colony absorbed most of the 
 attention of its leaders, and (Quebec w.is the theatre 
 of their operations. The country changed hands 
 
 for a shurl lime, but the ncvv coii'iuerors ilid not 
 trouble themselves to go farther up 'he rivi'r ih.m 
 Ca|<e Diamond. .Vnd when at last flissension .ind 
 con'roversy li.id been ipii'ted, ami Ch.implain look 
 entire lommand of the little colony, nutters of 
 religion l>ecame its ehiel moment, and enterprise 
 practically < eased. The great explorer — to whom 
 .AineriiM owes so much — had made his last 
 voyage ; and the ineiiiorable ( hristmas day of 
 i(ii5 when he enlereil into ihe rest he had so nob- 
 ly earned, ended a periid of (lose iltcn'ion to the 
 interests of the struggling town of i^lueb c. 
 
 We now approach the vear when the leserted 
 trading post under the sh.iclow of .Mount Royal 
 was to liecome a setllcd perm.inenc y I'o mysticism 
 — to supposed diieci orders from the .Mmighly — 
 Mcmlreal owes its settlement. Jercime le Royerde 
 la Dauversii-re, a laxieceiver of I.i Fleche in 
 .\njou, and lean |ai'|"es Olier, a young I',itisian 
 priest, were the recipients of wh,at they believed 
 to be divine calls. To both religion was all in all ; 
 prayer and |)enancc were daily, even hourly, occu- 
 pations. To each is said to have come an in'^ard 
 voice ordering them to establish on the island of 
 Montreal communities in which devotion and gocci 
 works were to be the ruling nbjcct«. I'ious men. 
 they were ipiic:k to obey, altli )ugh the diHii iillies 
 in the way seemed well nigh insurmountable. 
 Friends were solicited for funds, and penitents 
 were instructed to contribule ; other p.irtners in 
 their enterprise were procured ; and before long 
 the sum of iceventy-five thousand livres w.is raised. 
 The little band — lorming the germ ofllie S i, iele 
 dc Notre Dainede Monlre.il — soon in.iluied iheir 
 plans, which were indeed of the most (,)uixoiic; 
 character. Ity p.itient Labour, and much dii>lc)- 
 maey, they obtained a grant of the island of .Mont- 
 real, and with an unexpected degree of worldly 
 wisdom had it confirmed by the K.ing. A party of

 in i^SJi bringing a ninnher of retrnit'i, and again 
 in 1659 the liitle town received a hirge ai:cession to 
 its strength. The i.ew<c>nicrs. comprising »oMiers,

 fifteen days. I heir |)Overty was greal, thanks to 
 the pcciilalions of I)au»ersiere ; and the feeble 
 village had difticuliy in m.iintaining iliMn through 
 the winter. 
 
 As the area of >etili'ment expandiil new de- 
 fensive po^ts were erected. In i64.S. thero was 
 constructed a n-w red lulil In the soulli of the fori; 
 in Ifijfi anoiher 10 the east ; while in ihe following 
 year a more formidable work was built on high 
 ground mar where I »allni isie *<iiuari- i^ now silu 
 ated. Two years later other forts were erected, oni' 
 to ihe north some ilislance beyond the stream that 
 then formed the northern boundiry of the sellle- 
 menl ; another at the loo! of .St. .Mary's current, 
 and a third — that of St. (iabriel,— to the west; a 
 buildim; which existed in part to within a few years 
 of the present day. The ap|Karance of the Mont- 
 real of i<J5i; has been well described by le V'iconilc 
 d'.Xrgensen, the Cioicrnor of Canad.a, in a letter 
 dated the .(ih if .\ugust of that year. On ap- 
 pio, idling the town frn.n <) leliei: the first obj.i t 
 seen is the large sloii,' windniill, surrounded by a 
 palisade pierced for musketry; then eanie the 
 honies of the inhabitants — an irregular line of 
 
 dwellings stretched along the river bank, just near 
 enoiigli to each other to iiffurd mutual defence. 
 Near the end of this row came Ihe building and 
 chapel of the hotel Dieu, on the corner of what are 
 now .St. I'aul and St. Sulpice streets ; immediately 
 west was the residence of the (lovernor; ami 
 .almost opposite to it, .icross die St. i'ierre river, 
 stood the original fori. Here flew the colours of 
 I'lMiiee ; and from it eininated the orders which 
 governed the liule colony. The enlire pipiilaiion 
 (lid not exceed 575 souls. The spirilu.il and 
 educ.itioiial privileges of the sellleincnt fir evceeri 
 lie those of a temporal n.ature. The pious en- 
 thusiasts who projected the colony hid beeoiiij 
 reduced lo five ^ r six Associates ■ th': heavy drain 
 on their 1 iirscs and the financial blunders of the 
 unhappy Dauversiere, had disgusted Ihem with the 
 whole enleiprise, and they vfere only too willing lo 
 convey everytiiing over to the .Seminary of St. 
 .Sulpice, who .iccepted, and thus bei:anie the pro- 
 prietors of ihe island. Four piiesti of thai order 
 came lo .\b)nlreal and assumed Itsspiiiitial contro'.

 During ill tlie^e years ilie Indian war had r.iged 
 relentlessly. I'lu I r.)i|uois knew neither pily nor

 and of uniisu d physical strength and agilily, he

 for the indescribeable tortures thai only an .\ineri- 
 ciii Indian could think of inllictiiig. .Major (,'losse, 
 next in lomm.iiid to .Maisonr.euve and one of the 
 most cnerg'lir ulliiers ill the colony, was shot by 
 the sav.ig.s. .Mailers were at their worst, and the 
 fortunes if the whole colony were at their lowest 
 point, when a deeil of heroism, unexcelled in Ihe 
 annals of history, resulted in an enlori ed respite 
 from the attack of ihe Iro'piois. .\dain Daiilac or 
 Dollard h.id ln'cn a resident of Montreal for 
 three years ; he w.is iwenty-five years of .age, of 
 good family, and had b.'en in the army. He 
 volunteered lo le.id a small picked band of colon- 
 ists to attack ih? Iropiois on their way down the 
 Ottawa river, nol only for ihe direct loss that he 
 would thus be able to inflict on the enemy, but lo 
 show them that the French, alth.iugh surrounded 
 and liarrassed, still hid sulhcienl i/mi to carry the 
 war into the heail of the enemy's country. His 
 olfjr was aciepled ; sixteen more young men 
 voliiuleeied lo join in llie expedition ; ihe,- bound 
 tlmnse'vos by oalh to accept no ipiarlei, received

 the Ottawa, ihcy reached the Long Sauli rapid

 Indian fort they d termined to meet the Iroipiois. 
 In a day or two they were joined by a reinforce-

 of striking a bow at the common enemy. The

 at this time no", wanting in New France. It is 
 raiher surprising that no regular troo|>s h.id a.s yet 
 be n se it to .issist or protect the settlers Irom their

 e.\|>edition was a failure ; but it showed that the 
 colony could sirike home, and that Ihe Indian 
 headquarters were iioi invulnerable. Peace came 
 the next spring. 
 
 On the stage of .Montreal life now enters one ol 
 Ihe most heroic men that ever stepped on .American 
 soil. Kol>ert(Ie la Salle, Imrn at Rmien in 1645, 
 and educated among the Jesuits, came to l.'.inada 
 in i6'>6. The islan I of .Montreal was then held 
 by llu- Seminary of .St. Sulpice. Kager 1 1 promote 
 its settleiiK-nt, they were .anxious to see the out- 
 skirls of ihe toivn oi:cupied by a hardv pe.isantrv, 
 who. under good leadership, would be inv.ihiable 
 in tiiiR-s oi danger : anil times of danger were al 
 inosi coaiiniious. In |,a S.ilie they recognized the 
 leader tliey reipiired ;. and his sterling ipialitie-. were 
 so apparent, that they granted hiin — gialiiitoisly — 
 a large tract of land above the l-.ichine Rapid<. 
 Just at Ihe entrance to I„ake St. l/mis he laid out 
 a (Kilisaded »illage, granting laiiil lo settlers in le- 
 tnrn for Ihe iiinsl noinin.al seigiieurial dies. Ilap

 devote himself to disovery. The results of this 
 are well known. His home still siatids, and is the 
 Montreal Mecca to which all visitors, intiTcstcd in 
 the hiHtory of North America, turn their steps. 
 
 In 1669 a now Governor for the Island was 
 ap|)ointed by the priests of the Seminary, to whom 
 had .igain been granted the right to ap|>oint that 
 officer. This was M. Pcrrot. a captain in the 
 regiment of Auvergnc. With an eye to the future, 
 he had bis commission confirmed by the King, 
 thus rendering him largely independent of the ec- 
 clesiastics. His /•tiKhanI for personal gain soon 
 markedly developed itself; and in his case was 
 accompanied by such an entire disregard for the 
 interests of his people, as to incur great dislike 
 from the merchants of the town. On the island 
 ■ near St. Anne's, that ?till bears his name, ho creeled 
 a storehouse and there stationed one of his lieuten- 
 
 About thiK limo the fir»t regiil.ir survey of Mont 
 real was made, and streets regularly laid out. This 
 was done by Henigne Basset, first land surveyor, 
 under superintendence of Dollier dc Casson, Su- 
 perior of the Seminary. Records show that from 
 then until the end of the century a large number 
 of streets were opened up. In 1677 was built the 
 Mountain Fort, on the site of the present Seminary 
 loUoge, the towers of which still stand, two of the 
 very few momentoes remaining of the Montreal o( 
 two centuries ago. 
 
 War with the lrn(|uois again broke out, and with 
 it came the most disastrous calamity that had yet 
 visited the settlement. Under the .able and vi- 
 gorous regime of Krontenac, the hatehet had been 
 buried ; and it proved a dark day for La Nouvelle 
 Fiance when he was recalled. With his successor 
 \a Barre, the principle of self-advantagejwas!i)ara- 
 
 to death ai tlieir iiptiirs' leisure .Altluiugh strong 
 detai hments of troops wero ne.ir by, Denonville. 
 who happened tii be in Montreal at the time, posi- 
 tively forbade action, and thwarted .in attack which 
 would have without (loul>t proved successful and 
 would have s.-ived many of their unhappy country- 
 men from the agonies of slow death by lire. For- 
 tunately lor the colony Denonville's recall was 
 already on the w.-xy ; and the King's choice had 
 again fallen on the greatest governor New France 
 ever had, the Count de Fronten.-ic. 
 
 The war, already so bloody, raged year after 
 year with varying success. Several altaiks were 
 directed against the outlying settlements in the 
 Knglish colonies, ami inosl of these were attended 
 with success. The fur tr-idc,-— the commercial life 
 of Montreal, — languished for a time, but by dipio 
 macy and military skill a vast ipiantily of beaver

 ants. The island^w.ns directly in the line t.ikcn by 
 the savages on their w.iy to Montreal wi:h furs, 
 and few were allowed to pass without an invitation 
 to stop and there make the barter. As may be 
 imagined this materially interfered with the chief 
 business of Montreal, and great was the outcry. 
 Frontenac, now (iovernor in-chief, w.is not the 
 man to allow such proceedings to piKs unchecked 
 .■\nd a very pretty quarrel was the upshot. The 
 affair ended in the imprisonment and dismissal of 
 I'errot by Frontenac ; the whole matter was laid 
 befire the King who sharply rebuked them both 
 and reinstated Parrot as governor of Moiiire.il, 
 holding that Frontenac had evce.ded his powers. 
 It was but the beginning of a long dispute between 
 the ecdeiiastical and civil powers, which did much

 mount ; his only marked quality was greed. Or- 
 dered home in 16S4, he was replaced by the 
 Manpiis de Denonville. who, though possessing 
 military ability and personal conr.ige, marred his 
 rule by .in .ict of gross treachery to a number of 
 Iroquois which was not forgotten An expedition 
 on an immense scale agains' the Senec.is was but 
 a partial success. Two years later, on the night 
 of the fifth of .Xugust, iC>Sn, about lilieen hundred 
 Indians landed al l.a< hine, surrounded the houses 
 of the settlers, and then began the most dreadhil 
 massacie recorded in the history of Canada. \ 
 large settlement, inaugurated by l.a Sille, had by 
 this liuic grown up. Not a house in the vicinity 
 escaped the savages All the buildings were bur- 
 ned ; a mere handful of settlers escaped ; the re- 
 mainder were either butchered on the spot or burnt 
 
 skins which had accumulated at Michillimaikinac 
 during three years was. in 1694, directed to .Mont- 
 real ; the impetus given to its business was enor- 
 mous, and much w^'allh a<( rueil to its citizens. 
 The succeeding winter was marked with great 
 gayeiy, and we at this time find mention ol the 
 firsl theatricals, an ninaleur perl'orina'ice of two 
 plays, "Nii'omede" and " .Milhridate " ; this met 
 wiih severe condemnation from the clergy. The 
 I'urilanism of the neij;liboiiiing colonies seems to 
 have infected Canada, and all worldliness and 
 inallenlion to matters of religion brought down on 
 the offender tho direst penallies. 
 
 Three years later peace between England and 
 F'rance was declared ; the news soon reached 
 Amorica, and hostilities ceased in New France, as

 The early years of the eij;hlecnth ci^nliiry were de- 
 void of events of spciMal interest to Montreal. That 
 devoted and hospitable n/ij;rns' Marguerite dii 
 llonrgeoys died on the twelfth of January 1700. 
 Born in idjo. shecann' out to Canada in 1(15!, and 
 thereafter consecrated the long remainder of her 
 life to the extension of religion and education in 
 the newly formed settlement ; she h.is the foundress 
 and first superioress of the c-ongri'gation of Notre 
 Dame. This year ( 1700) great .itlenlion was de- 
 voted to the repair and improvement of the forti- 
 fications. Much general military activity was shown 
 in the town, and strangers were not .admitted into 
 any of the forts. Again were thi- shores of Montreal 
 approached by Indian tanoes ; but this time peace, 
 not war, was the rbjcct, a great council liaving 
 been arranged by the governor to lonlirni the truce. 
 The streets were thronged with the savage visitors

 incidents, just jirior to the council, occurred the 
 tragic death of a noted Huron chief; and his fun-

 Some thirteen hundnd Indians were present, all 
 regularly marshalled by tribes ; prisoners wengiven

 Hitch an assemblage. 
 
 War between I'rance .ind Kngland .igain broke 
 out in 1702: the arrival of the news in Canada w,as 
 soon followed by the death of the governor general, 
 de Oallieres. .Again was Montreal destined to 
 furnish the chief ruler lor the country ; de Vaudreuil, 
 who hid succeeded de ("allieres in theconnnand of 
 .Montreal, nceived the appniiilment and removing 
 to (Juebei entered on his new duties. De Raine- 
 /ay beinme governor of .Monire.il, with .\Iaior de

 istration llie b.iil)aroiis aii.u ks on lonely setilements 
 aiul farmhouses on the .Ww Kngtaud trontier were 
 continued, and a< coiiipanied wiili ilie usual alroci 
 ties. Time lirmiglii reieiige. and ilie memories of 
 these raids hail nuu h to do with the determined 
 measures put (orlli by ("ireal Britain in later ye.iis 
 for the entire cxtinrtion of Trench rule on the 
 .American i-ontinenl. An expedition for the reduc- 
 tion of Montreal was .u-tually prepared in 170(1, 
 and slowly .advanced from Albany; word of its 
 coming jireceded it. !)e Vaudreuil hastened to 
 Montreal and summoned a meeting of the chief 
 oliicersanilcili.<ens ; the danger looked so imminent 
 they resolved to order all settlers living near, 
 espei ially those on the south shore, to move their 
 fimilies, furniture, giaiii and cattle into the town. 
 The energciic governor also there collected a large 
 force and sent out a Hying cnlumn of 1,500 iulmi to 
 surprise the invailers. ilie scouts of the two 
 armiei met and liecaiue engag.-d ; on whic'i the 
 Kreucli < iinmauder, de RaiiKvay, relumed to .Mont-

 of the .St. I .awren.:e. retired when it becaiiK' evident 
 that he p wa-, not Ibrthcoiniiig. It was in fact, ile- 
 feried until the next year, when under Sir Hovenden 
 Walker and Ueneral Hill, the i;reat c.xpcdition set 
 out. History tells us whit an utter and disastrous 
 
 failure it proved, due solely to the incapacity and 
 cowardice of its commanders. .Srldoin hai a 
 greater calamity visited the Uritish arms. 
 
 Peace came in 171.^ with the I'reaiy of Utrecht. 
 The ce-iMjitiiMi of hostilities gave an excellent i>|>- 
 portunity to repl.ace the wooden palisades which 
 surrounded Montie.il, with regular fortifications of 
 stone and in aicoidance with modern systems. To 
 M. Chaussegros de I.ery, the King's engineer, was 
 entrusted the work, under ihe supervision of the 
 governor of Ihe town, and the necessary funds 
 were advanied by the King. Of this amount one- 
 half was to be defrayed fron" the royal purse, the 
 other half to be repaid to hii 1 by the inhabitants of 
 the town and the Seminar), the former to n-|>a)r

 iiih.iliil.inis weie str.>iig!y opposed to this taxation, 
 the people generally having siilhcient confidence in 
 their own valoiirf.ir defeiic,' against any enemy, and 
 faileil to see the necessity for these rorliAcalions ; 
 but the order came Irom the King, and they, as 
 dutiful subjects, obeyed. The work was In'gun in 
 1717, but was soon afterwards discontinued, the 
 funds not coming to h.ind, and it was not until 1721 
 that it was again steadily prosei itted. The new de- 
 fences consisted of a solid wall of masonry with a 
 ditch on three sides, and i:onlaining thirteen bas- 
 tions. The total cost was 445,000 livres. Seven 
 gates affjrde I nieaii-i of ingress and egress. rhc 
 I'lace IV.Armes was laid out in Iront of Ihe I'arish 
 Church, and the Royal liatieiy erected at Citadel 
 Hill. That year (1721) oi:curred Montreal's first 
 seriiuis lire, and many buildings were destroyed. 
 The result^, as in latter years, were iKneAcial : 
 better biiiUlings wer- erected, anil legislation for- 
 b.ide the fiirliiererectionof any but stone siru. inri-s. 
 Shingles were disallowed and roof coverings were 
 herctfier to be of slate, tiles, or double boards. 
 
 In 1725 the Marquis d.- Vaudreuil died. As 
 the two previous governors of .Vlontreal iiad suc- 
 ceeded lu the higher position on its becoming 
 
 vacant, tliethen incuinlientof that oHice, the Uarun 
 de I ongiieuil, ex|>ected similar promotion; but 
 this was dcnii-d him on Ihe groitid of his being a 
 native of Canada, and the Manpiis de lleauharnoiK 
 oliuined the |io..t. The (own at this period hail 
 assumed a modern and regular appearance, thanks 
 to Ihe fortifications just erected, and to the im- 
 provements recently made. The upper town was 
 lieginning to fill up with goverum.'nt and ecclesias- 
 tical buildings; while Ihe number ol dwellings oc- 
 cupied outside of the w.ills to the west an 1 north 
 had ol late greatly increased. The I'arish ch irch 
 was larger and much superior in every wny to any 
 edifice of the son in Canada. (,)uite a nnml>er of 
 English merchants and arti/ans h.ad .iettled in the 
 town, but on this fact being reported to France in 
 172;. instructions were .st-nt out prohibiting them 
 from remaining unless actually settle 1 on land, 
 and from trading and selling in any way. The in- 
 habiianLs of Montreal were, as a rule orderly and 
 well-liehaved. but the i;>iiieiirs rif hoi" and savages, 
 who came to the town in great numlwrs during the 
 •ea-sons of barter, at times monopoli/.ed the streets 
 with drunken orgies. From Montreal set out the 
 expeditions that did much to open up the great 
 west to European influences. In June 1727 a party 
 representing an iuHuenlial company, just organized 
 in the colony, started out for the first time to trade 
 on Ihe up|>er Mississippi ; and all similar expedi- 
 tions, whether bent on commerce or war made 
 Montreal their starting point. Such events could 
 not fail to give increased importance to the town, 
 and financially benefit its merchants. Up to this 
 time we have had no word of any serious epidc.nic 
 in the colony ; bit in 17.52 it was visited by the 
 scourge of small pox, and in the Montreal district 
 alone over tlirci hundred persons died. Husiness 
 was seriously alTected by this outbreak, but the dis- 
 tress among the |)oorer class was much alleviated 
 by many obtaining work on the fortifications, which, 
 although commenced eleven years before, were still 
 in progress, not approachin.:; completion until 1741. 
 .Anoilier government work und.Tt.ikeu soon after 
 was the o|pcnini; of a new ro.ad from .Montreal to 
 Quel>ec the first wheeled vehicle passing over in 
 entire length in 1734. 
 
 In 1744 news of war between the two geat 
 (mwers reached .America, and expeditions from 
 (Canada .again <t the Kng.ish firts and setlljm.'nts 
 were Ihe order of the day. From December 1 745 
 to the following Aiigusi the record shows Montreal 
 to have Ix-en the depot from which these war parlies 
 were sent out. Ihe list is a long one, but the de- 
 lachiiK-nts were small and Ihe work accomplished 
 of a trivbl nature, and did no serious harm to the 
 English |>ower. In July 1746 a levy of 1,600 men 
 was ordered to lie made in the Montreal district ; 
 this with other drafts told so heavily on i'.s resources 
 that it was oliicially reported to France as being 
 " wholly stripped of people" ; shortly afterwards 
 300 men raised in the Qmbec district h-td to be 
 sent to garrison Montreal and iis adj.icent forts, 
 the fonncr alone mounting 33 pieces of ordiance. 
 liOuisburg h id fallen, and the results of the war had 
 iKtn disastioiis in the extreme to France. Peace 
 was restored in 1747. by the treaty of Aix-la- 
 Chap|)elle. 
 
 in the summer of 1749. Montreal was visited 
 by an eniinent Swedish naturalist. I'eter Kalm, 
 who h.is left a full .account of his experiences and 
 observations. Three days after his arrival the 
 peace between England and France was publicly 
 proclaimed. There was great show of rejoicing at

 tlie event ; tlic troops wcro iiiitlor arms, 'saliilcs 
 were tired and the whole town was ilhiminated. 
 Kahn speaks highly of the character and tnanncrs 
 of thL' inhabit mts. I'he women were handsome, 
 well-bred, modest, and fond of household du ies ; 
 the mi-n civil and obliginj;. The town presented a 
 good appearance, many houses being of stone 
 although the majority were of wood ; the better 
 sort of dwellings li.ul a door towards tiie street 
 with a seat on each side of it where the inmates 
 would sit in their leisure hours. Friday was mar- 
 ket day, and the town was then thronged with the 
 country-folk and Indi.ms living in the vicinity. 
 The liospit.d, a governuient institution, was man- 
 
 na :ed in a liberal spirit, the invalid if in the crown 
 service, being provided with all necessaries and 
 medical .attendance at the cost of the King, imless 
 his illness was contracted .attending to his private 
 affairs. When there was room enough the towns- 
 people hid also the benefit of the hospital at a 
 very m iilerate cost. Wages paid to servants were 
 decidedly loiv conip.ireil to the present d.iy ; a man 
 receiving ab uit one hundred and lifiy litres aye n, 
 while a maid servant was content wiili one hundred. 
 .Many other interesting details of a similar nature 
 are given, and form altogether an excellent picture 
 of life in .Montreal nearly a century and a half ago. 
 Montreal now entered on her last years under 
 
 the JIturJe lis. The |>eacc celebrated with so 
 much rejoicing was but a short one, and the stormy 
 |H.'riod ol the great war with Kngland grew near. 
 Thronghont every c.impiign, the island town be- 
 came as usual, the base from which most land ex- 
 pe<litions set out and to which they steered their 
 course after victory or defeat. Its citi/.ens in 1753 
 »;.w the embark itioii of the fore .■ s.Mit by Duipiesne 
 for the conipiest of the < Ihio country ; .lud thither 
 soon returned 'he comniiiider, Marin, to die, fol- 
 lowed before long by the greater art of the de- 
 t ichment, reduced to sha lows by the exposure 
 and li.irdships to which they hid l)..'en subjected. 
 .\s is well known, the attack by Washington on 
 lumonville occurred two years before the war was 
 o filially deel.ired by the rival courts, and thus iti" 
 volved the American dependencies of both na- 
 tions in hosliliiies long b.'fore the g.'iieral outbreak, 
 lint si\ batt.dions could be spared by I'rance for 
 t'anadi ; four of these under the (-omniand of Barun 
 Iiieskan atriveil in 1755 ; the ren) lining two came 
 .1 year Lit jr. Wiih them an I in coniui iiid, came that 
 aciomplished soldier ,ind honourable man, the 
 Mippiis de Montcalm. He almost immediately 
 proceeded to Montreal, an 1 visited the settlement 
 of christian hvlians at Ciughnaw.iga. where he does 
 not appear to have been gre.itly edilied by the ap 
 pe.irance of the converted liraves and their fimilies. 
 Montreal as the key and base of operations, Ik- 
 cime his head piarters, and thither came the 
 (lovernor d.' X'aiidreiiil, and all the chiel men of 
 the colony. With so gie.it an inlliix of distinguish- 
 ed visitors the soci.il life of the town became no 
 less biilliant than its milit.iry aspect. Great cere- 
 mony was observed, combin d with as great a de- 
 gree of hospitality. At .Montcalm's table sixteen 
 persons dined diily during the winter of 1756-7 and

 three gn.il suppers histin); until two in the morn- 
 ing. lA-nt checked these g.«ielie^, but in May they 
 were resumed to an even greiilei cxtir.l. 
 
 Hut the summer was at hand and |>n.|Kiralians 
 t'ur war su|H'rseded Ul surial and domestic enjoy- 
 ments. In July over one thousand s-iva^es came 
 down to Montrc.d and there em aniped. until sent 
 on to Ticonderoga, and to the victorious assault 
 on Fort William Henry. Hither after the IpIoimIv 
 scenes that followed the surrender o the latter 
 post, came hundreds of Knglish prisoners «i mourn 
 their murdered comrades and the imliecility of 
 their commanders. I'he Indian allies of the 
 French were masters of the situation and prai:tical- 
 ly did what they pleased, the French cvidenily too 
 afraid of the loss of their help to interfere with or 
 thwart them in the slightest, even in the streets of 
 Montre.ll. Here before the eyes of the whole town 
 the savages killed one of their prisoners and 
 .ictually forced his comrades to eat the flesh ; and 
 a French writer has further atVirmed that mothers 
 were compelled to eat their children. 'I'hiough the 
 streets of the town roamed the Indians, giving in- 
 sult and threatening murder on any citi/en who 
 offendeil them; the (iovernor de Vaudreuil not 
 only took no steps to cheek their liaibarous arts, 
 but rewarded them handsomely and sent iheiii 
 home. He did much, however, in purchasing from 
 them English prisoners whom they would other- 
 wise have carried to their forest homes to exist in 
 slavery. Nearly all were thus redeemed liefore 
 their captors lefi Montreal. 
 
 In September of this year (1757) Moni(.ilm left 
 Montreal for Quebec, where he s|Knt the winter, 
 returning in Feburary. For some reason ne pre 
 ferred Quebec, probably because the Governor 
 General was in Montreal ; for b -tween the laller 
 and his little court on one hand, and .Montcalm and

 the luiper'al offireri on the ntlur the relations 
 were decidedly strained. A divided < ouiniand has 
 always resulted in jealousy ,ind ill-feeling , and the 
 
 rel.ilioiiN of lie \ aiidri'iiil .ind Montealin through- 
 (Hit ihe war were no exception to the rule. Yet 
 eierything wis apparenll) smooth, and dinners, 
 d.imes, and picnics were the order of llie day. Hut 
 there w.is a darker side to this pii:liire. While the 
 ruleis fia>led the people .«larved. Hy midwinter 
 the visible supply of flour in Montreal had lieen 
 exhaiisteil. :iiul the inipnivident, the poor and the 
 soldiers had to live on short allo'.'.ince o( food; and 
 of this horse llesh forinid a large proportion. A 
 mob besieged the (iovernoi's house and Hockeil 
 .\boul liiin when he went out ; he answered them 
 with threats. The colony troops broke into mutiny, 
 and did their utmost to incite the French regulars 
 to join; the Governor was powerless; and the 
 trouble was only ipielled by the energy and tact of 
 the indomitable Levis. Soon came the spring, and 
 with it action ; the incipent rebellion died out. 
 
 The compaign of 175S o|K'ned ; I,ouisburg fell 
 before the persistence of .Vmherst's attack ; but 
 this ..<uccess was counterbalanced by the marvellous 
 vi( tory arhieved at 'licondeKH'a by Montcalm, 
 where he beat back an army of nearly five times 
 his strength. Vet Montreal and all Canada were 
 in a deplorable stale. I'rovisions were at famine 
 prices ; a Hritish sipiadron cruised .ilxnit the Gulf 
 .mil intercepted many vessels with supplies; salt 
 cod .lud liorsellesh were the staple articles of diet. 
 All this time the othcial heads of the colony 
 and the officers in command of posts were, 
 with few exceptions, swindling and s|K'Culaling 
 in every direction. Montcalm, honourable and 
 juire amid all this trouble, sent two envoys to 
 I'lanie to lay the state of the country belbre the 
 King. The response was unsatisfactory, for 
 F'rance, herself in peril, coulJ spare little for her 
 .American lolony. The opening of the season of 
 1759 brought all that could be sent, less than five

 citement; Mnntcalni spared no exertion, omitted 
 no precaution for a s\ic(!e';sfiil resistance to the 
 invadeis ; Montreal was almixt denuded "f troops, 
 all but a small garrison being ordered to the tlireat 
 ened city. Kvery available man ami youth in the 
 colony was under arms ; defensive works were 
 thrown up at every point where tliey might be of 
 use ; ami Quebec swarmed with troops, over sixteen 
 thousand men being mustered there. I'he militia 
 from .Montreal occupied the extreme left of the 
 army encamped along the Heaiiport Hats. 
 
 The stirring events of , \l summer do not c:oine 
 witlnn the scope of thi: sketch. Wolfe lame ; 
 busieged (,)uel)ec ; attacked and was defeated ; 
 attacked agiin and won ; the city surrcndereil and 
 the remnants of the French army lied to .\fontreal. 
 Then they again took heart ; recruited their stnngth; 
 restored discipline in the ranks ; and in turn fought 
 and defeated the Knglish, just prior to the arriv.il 
 of supplies and reinforcements for the latter. I lopj 
 must now have died in th" hearts of de Vaudreuil 
 and his followers, as retreating ag.iin to .Montreal, 
 they realized that nothing but a mir.iele could save 
 them. Agiiin during all that summer of 17(10 were 
 the narrow streets of Montreal crowded with .sol 
 diery, awaiting the end. They had sti'iiggled h.ird 
 and long for the existence of ihcj/iiir-i/f/is in North 
 America ; but France had done little to help them, 
 while her hereditary enemy w.ts neglecting no 
 measure that would hasten their overthrow. De- 
 serted, oiitnuinbered ami hemmed in on every side 
 there was no recourse but in capitulation. 
 
 On the sixth of September the army of .Amherst 
 had reached Montreal, and was encamped on its 
 northern side. t)n the seventh, .Murray disem 
 
 barked his fones on the cast, and Haviland's men 
 were alie.idy waiting on the south. The whole 
 Hrltisli lorcc amounted tu 17,000 men, while the 
 Krcnch army had been so rednc ed by the wholesale 
 desertion of the Canadian ni'litia and the Colony 
 lroi)ps that it did not ex<!eed J, 500 in all. Nothing 
 reiu.iined to be done but 10 gain the best [lossible 
 terms Vaudreuil drew up a set of articles of 
 capitulation to Ik.' submitted ; called a council of 
 war that unanimously approved of them, and, on 
 the seventh, sent them by Houg.iinville to the 
 llritish commander. Some were granted, others 
 modilu'il, and the rest refused. Negotiations went 
 on during the day, and on the following morning 
 Vaudreuil acix'ptcd the terms as insisted on by 
 Amherst, signed the capitulation, and Canada and 
 all the undefined territory to which it laid claim 
 jiasscd forever from France. I'he terms of surren- 
 der were e.asy, and practically no changes that 
 would unfavorably affect dimiestic social, or religi- 
 ous life were made. The next ai t in this eventful 
 drain I uai the forinil taking possession of the town 
 for Kit'g (ieorge. A detachment moved out from 
 the jJr.iish cainp with colours llying and bands 
 playing : lirst the Royal .Artillery under Colonel 
 Il.ililiinand ; then the Cirenadiers of the line, under 
 Colonel Massey ; and last came the Light Infintry 
 under Colonel .Amherst. No more titling types of 
 the in.ijesty and v.alour of the llritish Army could 
 have been selected. The Royal v\rtill«ry, iin- 
 e ]iialled then as now for courage, daring and skill ; 
 the Cren.idiers, of superb physiipic, whose only 
 fault had been too great impetuosity to eng.ige the 
 enemy ; and the [,ight Infantry— the " Light Hobs" 
 of liter days — who for intelligence, for celerity of 
 nioveinent, and for general elticiency had been 
 cons]iicious throughout the war. Down from the 
 camp, past the suburbs and in through the gatu 
 
 they marched ; the citadel w.as taken po»»es«ioti ot 
 ami on its llagstaff thn white banner of France was 
 replaced by the red ensign of Kngland. Guards 
 were mounted and «cntries [Kisied ; the French 
 garrison laid down their arms, and their regimental 
 colours were duly handed over to the senior ensign 
 in the British army. The surrender was complete. 
 The inaugiiriition of the Uritish regime found 
 Montreal a well built and prosiwroim city. Unlike 
 (Juebec it had been visited by no disastrous bom- 
 bardment, and the prominent position it had neces- 
 sarily assinned during the entire wur had brought 
 influence and the expenditure of much otticial 
 moitcy, while the presence of so many of the troops 
 and government ollicials had induced a substantial 
 increase of buildings. Almost all the French 
 oDicials, both civil and military, not unlike the LT.E. 
 Loyalists of later days, were too honourable and 
 patriotic to transfer their allegiance to a foreign 
 monarch, and returned to France as soon as pos 
 sible. The bulk of the rank and file of the Im- 
 perial army followed their example ; but the Colony 
 troops and the militia rcin.iined in Canada almost 
 to a man. Of the Canadian noblesse many went 
 home ; but a large number remained to bring up 
 families, whose descendents to-day in many instan- 
 ces occupy prominent positions in Parliain''nt, in 
 the learned professions, in the military service, and 
 in the business circles of liritish North America. 
 The town and district were placed under the charge 
 of General Gage, whose riTle was at once beneficial 
 .and popular. Until attention could be given by 
 the law orticers of the Crown to the establishment 
 of a permanent system of leg.al procedure for the 
 new colony, the administration of justice had to 
 partake more or less of a military nature The 
 courts thus established were composed of French- 
 Can.'idiaii militia oDiceis who had power to

 THK IIOMINION Il.l.t ISTKATKD. 
 
 On Saturday, ihc iKlh of May 1765, thr ncc- 
 ond fitcM Ari' that visited Montnal, broke out 
 in a house on St. Paul street oecupied by one 
 I.ivini{ston. The wind was hitth, and no a|i 
 pliances existed lor the suppression »l eontla^ra 
 lions. (Juiikly the tiaines spread I'ruin house to 
 hoUM' ; U'vond the help ol' the inihiary, anil |ier 
 winal eflTorts nothing; could Ih' done ; and it w.is not 
 until over one hundred l)uildin(!s — oneTourth of 
 the entire eily -had In-en destroyed that the lire 
 was ihecked. This was brought about only by 
 the demolition of part of the hospital of the Siuurs 
 de la Con^refjalion on Notre Dame street. So 
 fierce were the tiames and so hinh the wind, thai 
 lome buildin^i outside the walls anci U'yonil the 
 little river St. I'ierrc were eonsumed. This dis- 
 aslroiis event brouuhl j-reat distress to the suffer- 
 ers ; over two hundred families weie rendered 
 homeless and destitute, eighty seven of these beinji 
 on St. I'.iul street .done. The linanc i.d loss was 
 carefully estimaled, and amounted lo nearly j{, 1 1 7, 
 000 — .in enormous stmi lor a little town suih as 
 Montreal then was. I.iber.d subscriptions were 
 made in Kngland and elsewhere in aid of the suf 
 fercrs. the Kin^; himself givinj; jCsoo. 
 
 Misfortunes seldom come singly, an<l leis than 
 three years had elapsed when another ureal contl.i- 
 Kralion visited Montreal, whose people were just 
 recovering from the ertecis of the first fire. It 
 broke out in the house of a person named Tison, 
 near the ,St. Lawrence gate, situated where Kortifi 
 cation lane now runs intiSt. Lambert Hill. Start- 
 ing at ten o'clock on the evening of the iith of 
 April 1768, it raged furiously all that night, and 
 destroyed ninety houses, two churc hes and a charity 
 school. Again large sums were subscribed to aid 
 the sufferers, Kngland contributiug by far the 
 greatest amount. 
 
 The annals of the city furnish Jew matters of in 
 terest until the passage of the (,)uebec \ct in 1774. 
 I'his famous bill, framed in the spec ial interests of 
 the French inh.diitants of Canada, w.is .ipparenlly 
 well received by that class ; but to the British set 
 tiers it W.IS anything but julatable, and through- 
 out the southeri". colonies was received witli a storm 
 of indignation. The King, convinced that it was 
 giving ample justice to his Canadian subjects, 
 eagerly gave it the Royal assent. In revenge for 
 this, some Montreal opponent of the measure took 
 a rather comical liberty with a statue of his Majes- 
 ty which at that time stood in one of the public 
 sijuares. On the first of .May 1775, the good \ko- 
 pie of the city were amazed to find the statue 
 painted black, and a string of beads with a cross 
 suspended around the neck. A mitre had been 
 placed on the head while underneath was written 
 in French " This is the Pope of Canada and the 
 "Sot of Kngland." The perpetrator of thin insult 
 was never discovered, although a reward of 100 
 guineas was offered for his apprehension. 
 
 The passage of the (Quebec Act, and ihe agitation 
 throughout the country which accompa.iied it, was 
 but the prelude to one of the most important 
 events in our history— the invasion of Can.ida by 
 the American rebels in 1775. I call it important not 
 for the immediate military occurrences of the cam- 
 paign which, though exciting, and occurring in rapid 
 successiun, were on a small scale and left no spe- 
 cial results ; but important as exhibiting the eager- 
 ness of the rebels to gain over Canada to their 
 views, and the enterprise and vigor they showed in 
 the invasion ; and as being well calculated to show 
 Ihe temper and sentiineots of the Canadians af^er

 fifteen years of Itritish rule. In the campaign 
 Montreal played a part second only to that borne 
 by (Juelwc. 
 
 The ex|)edition for the inv.ision of Canada — or 
 rather for the despioible object of seducing the 
 Canadians from their allegiance — was under the 
 command of Richard Moulgomery, a general in the 
 rel)el army. He had fought under Wolfe on the 
 Plains of Abraham, and had doubtless been in 
 Montreal on its occupation by the British forces in 
 1760. He had now returned, but this time 
 as an opjioncnt of the flag he had once 
 fought for ; he had turned from the red t ) the blue. 
 His advance w.ts rapid, and the fact of there be- 
 ing very few Hritish troops in Canada at the time, 
 greatly assistedhim. The forts at St. Johns and 
 Chambly, with but trifling garrisons surrendered 
 within a few days, and he then pushed on to at- 
 tack Montreal. In the mean time he had dis- 
 patched a party of 150 men under Colonel 
 
 Kthen .Allen to .attack the city ; a rather in- 
 juilicious proceeding, as Ciovernor Carleton — who 
 was in .Montreal ,it Ihe time — got togelhei about 
 30 regulars and 300 militia, s- nt them against the 
 rebels, took .Mien and his entire del.tchment pri- 
 soners, and sent them to l.liiebec whence they were 
 forwarded lo I'jigland. On the advent of Mcnt- 
 gomery and his army, Carleton withdrew his little 
 force from Montreal to IJucIk-c to increase the 
 garrison at that more important point. Scarcely 
 li.id he left before me .Americans ap|)earcd. .\o 
 defence could be made ; articles ol capitulation 
 were therefore dr.iwn up by the citizens and pre 
 senied to Montgomery by a deputation of leading 
 people. To these he gave a lengthy reply, 
 acceding to most of the terms they pro[H>.sed ; 
 and at nine o'clock on the following morning (ijih 
 Nov. 1775) the ContinenLiI troops took possession 
 of the town. Being a rather ragged lot, and much 
 in want of military stores of various kinds, they

 in the struggle Montgomery lost his life.

 I'rovince. the arrival of fresh troops from Kngland 
 enabling ("arleton to take the offensive. During 
 the remainder of that unhappy war Montreal be- 
 came, as in former years, an important niilit;iry 
 centre. Here came the unfortunate Burgoyneand 
 his army, and set out on that disastrous ex|>edition 
 that ended in his surrender at .Saratoga. 
 
 The temporary cccupation of Montreal by the 
 .\mericans had at le.ist one excellent result, the 
 establishment of a printing press in the city. 
 Joseph I'leury de .Mesplet, who had been brought 
 by the invaders to influence the Irench Canadians 
 in favour of the colonial cause, was our first printer ; 
 anil the first fruits of his laiiour was a little book 
 entitled, " Kti^lcnienl lU- ta Con/rerici/e tiiiloratioii 
 f'ir/>rtiiell( ilii S .V.r, ;•,;«(•»/," published in I7;d; 
 a /,(, simiU- ol the title page of the book is re- 
 piodncfd on page nine of this work. Two years 
 later appeared .Montreal's earliest newspaper, l.ti 
 Gazette l.illti aire, and which has had a continuous 
 existence down to the present day. Ii appeared 
 wholly in Krench, a fact which shows how c-ni- 
 paraiively small was the hlnglish element in the 
 town at that time. The litUc sheet was devoteil 
 exclusively to literary and philosophic*! subjects, 
 the current news of the day, either local or general, 
 not finding any mention in its pages. 
 
 Sir Cuy Carleton having, in 1777, demanded his 
 recall, Major-tJeneral Maldimand succeeded him, 
 arriving in l^)uebec in the latter part of 1777. On 
 the ,Sth of the following .August he made a state 
 visit to .Montreal, and was received with the usual 
 honours and addresses. His administration was 
 
 characterised by severity and harshness ; few events 
 worthy of special note 01 curred while it lasted 
 He was recalled in 1 7K5, and succeeded temporarily 
 by Henry Hamilton, who, in i7.Sf>, gave place to 
 ( anada's old (riend and governor, Carleton, now 
 raised to the peerage as Lord Dorchester. He 
 ruled wisely and well for ten years. .\n event ot 
 local interest was the grantmg to the members of 
 the Church of Kngland in Montreal a building for 
 their sole use, they having previously worshipped 
 in the Recollel t hurch, by the courtesy of its clergy. 
 .\s a result of the visit of the bishop of Nova .Scotia 
 the congregation obtained from the ( iovernor the use 
 of the old Jesuits chapel ; its interior w.is renovated, 
 and divine service was held for the first time on the 
 joth of December, 1 789 
 
 The greatest event in the Knglish colonization of 
 Canada, the arrival of the Inited Kmpire Loyalists, 
 had a marked effect on the prosjierity of the city. 
 I'rior to the |>eace of 17.S.' a considerable number 
 had, from time to time, come overland into ('anada, 
 chiefly from sections of the revolted colonies where 
 the victorious rebels had made life almost iinen. 
 durable for those who choose to remain loyal to 
 their .Sovereign, even their lives being often in 
 
 danger . 1 Urge pro|)onion of these settled it 
 Montreal and l.iuebcc, thus making a iiiiterial in- 
 crease in the (Kipulation of these two towns, and 
 in the various branches of their business. The 
 next summer— 1 7X,{— brought ■ very large influx 
 of these devoted people, and ihey continued to 
 arrive for some lime ; but the newcomers iif these 
 later years settleil principally in the country disiricti, 
 liberal inducements for this being held out to them 
 by the lliimc authorities. 
 
 The Dukeof Clarenie, who, in iSfo, succeeded lo 
 the throne as William l\'., visited Canada in 17H7, 
 being at that lime In command of H..M .S. i'egasus. 
 ( In the Hth of .September- the anniversary of the 
 lapilulation -he visited .Montreal, where he was 
 received with all honoun due tii his rank. A 
 noteworthy incident of his Canadian visit was the 
 alxjrlive attempt to substiinie " William I leiiry " for 
 ' Siirel,"as the permanent nanieif ihe vill igeat the 
 jiinclion of the Kichelieu with the Si l.iwrence. 
 
 The rapid ketllement ol the wild I imU west of 
 •Montreal by the l.oyalisH laigely Knglish, and 
 almost exclusively Protestant — had much to do 
 with Ihe decision ol the llritish lioverninent lo 
 divide Canada into two distinct provinces, and give 
 to each a settled cunstiiution in accnrdanie with 
 llritish representative government. Accordingly, 
 in 17111, was passed the .\cl which provided for 
 these changes, embodying also many minor features. 
 .Montreal was now entitled to representation in the 
 newly firmed House of Assembly, and the follow- 
 ing were elected for that pur|X)se : U est Ward, 
 Messrs James Mcdill and L B. Durocher ; East 
 Ward, Joseph Irobisher and John Richardson ; 
 the County, L. J. I'apineau and James Walker. 
 In the same year the boundaries of the city were 
 considerably enlarged, being extended some dis- 
 tance on each side beyond the fortification. .\ fort- 
 nightly mail service was also established between 
 .Montreal and the northern states, .\ltogether, the 
 year was a notable one in the history of the city. 
 
 Irom this date down to the breaking out of the 
 second war with the Inited S>ates, Montreal made 
 steady progress in all lines. In 179J the first 
 Protestant church in the city was built, being the 
 old Scotch chapel on .St. Clabriel street, still stand- 
 ing, and constituting one of the most interesting 
 mementos of our early civic life. That year also 
 saw the French Revolution, and the orgies of blood 
 and fire that were indulged in by the Jacobins in

 thai in the aliaeiice of any nettled syaterki, the 
 streets thus funned were irregular in every way. 
 On the ird of June, i;')'). an .\et was p.issed 
 authorizing the ap|Hiiniment of a (Ity Surveyor, on 
 a salary of I'.'oo, to superintend Ihe laying out of 
 Ihc xrowuig localities just outside the walls. A 
 I iiiirt house was also de< ided on, no suitalile pro- 
 vision having hitherto existed for the proiK'r carry- 
 ing on of judicial proceedings, and in iHoi an .\ct 
 was passed constituting a i ompany for the supply- 
 ing of the inhabitants with water through pipes laid 
 in the streets. I nfortunalely, the latter scheme 
 was at first a decided failure, owing to ihe (Kxir 
 <|ii.ilily of the wooden pi|ics laid, and much delay 
 ensued. In the same year the removal of the old 
 fortifications was legaliz.'d, the result of a ptlilion 
 to that end sent to the government in lyu?- I'l'is 
 inuc li needed work was thereafter proceeded with, 
 and was accompanied liy Ihe very libenl nieaiurc 
 on the part ol the I town of restoring the I ind thus 
 reclaimeil to the heirs of the persons to wl.jin it 
 had originally belonged before being taken by the 
 I rench government as sites for the defensive 
 works. 
 
 The burning of the building used as a jail in i.So,; 
 was the decision of an ebullition of parliamentary 
 wrath dirci ted against certain Montreal citizens. 
 'I'o replace the building, a new one was ordered in 
 1.S05 and for ihe expense of same special taxes 
 were levied on certain goods, the imposition of 
 which was warmly opposed by the Montreal re- 
 presentatives in the .\ssembly. 'I'heir vigorous 
 action met with sn much approb.ition from their 
 fellow-citi/ens that a public dinner was given to 
 them, at which certain toasts — innocent enough to 
 the eyes of today— were deemed by the .Assembly 
 as libellous, and being reported in the Montreal 
 Gir^elti; an order was given to arrest hldward 
 I'.dwards the printer, and Isaac Todd, chairman ; 
 but these gentlemen retired from public life for a 
 short season and could not be found when the 
 Sergeant alarms arrived from i.'uebec. This in 
 lerferenee with the press now seems most arbitrary, 
 but was common enough then and should be judged 
 solely from the standard of that age. 
 
 In June 1.S03, the chapel used liy the Church of 
 Kngland congregation was burnt, and a new edi- 
 fice was decided on. .\ lot of ground on Notre 
 Dame street, the site of the old French prison, was 
 obtained, and the efforts towards building were so 
 successful as to admit of the corner stone being 
 laid by the Lord Hishop of Quebec on the jist 
 of June 1.S05. For want of sullicient funds but lit- 
 tle further progress was made for some time, and it 
 was not until the 9th ofOctober 1S14 that the first 
 service was held in the new building. 
 
 December 1805 saw the inauguration of the 
 movement which resulted in the erection of Nel- 
 son's monument. The news of his great victory 
 and heroic deatli reached the town during the pro- 
 
 greu of a hall which was being held in the Kx 
 change I Hffee House , while the cimipuny was at 
 iup|H'r the |ia|icri arrived and the despatch was 
 read aloud. Intense ex' it> 'nent was aroused, and 
 the chairman, Mr. Samuel tlerrard, iiiddenly in 
 spired with a happy thought, pro|M>ied that a 
 monument should br crc( led in the city to the 
 mrmory of the slam Admiral. This was acceded 
 to, and a large amount niibsrrilH'd on the sikiI. 
 (oimnittees were ap|xiinted, a grant of land pro 
 cured from the (lovernor. and the foundation 
 stone of the present pillar was laid on the 1 7ih of 
 .\ugutt 1H09, six)n followed by the completiim of 
 the work, at a total cost of i: 1 ,.)oo. 
 
 The |iopulation of the town at this period had 
 grown to about 1 j,oco, and improved means of 
 • omniiinicalinn with other places were eagerly 
 looked for. Steam navigation was jusi comiiirnc- 
 ing 10 be known, and .Montreal was not long in 
 availing herself of the discovery. To John .Molson, 
 one of her foremost • iti/ens of that day, is due the 
 credit as the prime mover in this direction. 1 lur- 
 ing the summer of i.So>i he fitted up a little steamer 
 I ailed the Accommodation, and on the ;rd of No- 
 vember of that year despatched her to l,iueber ; 
 she arrived there after a passage of sixty six hours, 
 thirty of which were spent at anchor. She carried 
 ten passengers, and created great excitement and 
 interest wherever she slopped. It is worthy of 
 note that ihis vessel wis the second steamer 
 launched on llic American continent. Steam 
 navigation in this |iort thus begun, grew steadily 
 year by year, until it has assumed its present large 
 pro|>ortions. 
 
 Ihe grim prospect of war with the neighbouring 
 Republic had been gradually developing iiuo a still 
 more formidable certainty. (In the i.Slh lune 
 iSii the I niled St.ites deilarcd war against 
 (Ireat llritain. Ily some extraordinary fatality, the 
 official news of this did not reach Sir (ieorge I 're 
 vost until the ytli July ; but a cili/.en of .Montreal, 
 ihe Hon. John Richardson, received intelligence 
 of the act through a private source, and innne 
 dialely advised the tiovcrnor. Ily the .Vmericans, 
 ('.iiiada was thought an easy prey, .and Ihe 
 great army of invasion which had been in pre- 
 preparation for ni.iny months was launched against 
 our borders, w ith the usual proclamations of bra- 
 gadaccio and falsehood by which it hoped to 
 seduce the Canadians from their allegiance. The 
 fate of the army and its proclamation was not long 
 left in doubt. In Sir haar lirock and his troops, 
 both Knglish regulars and (.'anadian militia, it 
 met more than its match ; the uth of July 1812 
 saw the invader on Canadian soil as an enemy ; 
 in less than two months the remnants of his army 
 entered Montreal as prisoners of war. Headed by 
 the band of the King's regiment (the ,Sth) and 
 under an escort of the .Montreal militia, the pro- 
 cession of prisoners entered the city under the eyes 
 of a great crowd of spectators. The streets were 
 brilliantly illuminated, which added greatly to the 
 impressiven^ss of the scene. 
 
 The ptincipal events of the war thus commenced 
 occurred chiefly in the Upper I'rovince, .Montreal 
 being seriously threatened but once throughout the 
 entire campaign, in spite of the importance of the 
 town and its jiroximity to the frontier. The militia, 
 however, of the city and district were duly em- 
 bodied in preparation for active service, and great 
 military activity prevaded the town. Large sums 
 ot money from the Imperial chest came into cir-

 loncluaion of the war in 1II14 the inflation ceased 
 at suddenly, and coiiiiderabic financial dislreia 
 wai the result. 
 
 In July I Hi s came word of the battle of Waterloo 
 and a large sum of money nearly l'.t,oo<> wo* 
 siibsi rilied in Montreal towards the relief ol the 
 widows and orphans of llritish soldiers who had 
 fallen on that memorable iMth of June. Ihe same 
 year the light of street lamps first ihone through 
 Ihe darkness of our streets, the deterniined cllorta 
 ol a few cili/ena resulting i'l the lighting up by 
 night of St. I'aul and Noire Dame atreeta. To aid 
 in preserving order in therity and put a atop to Ihe 
 numerous deeds of violence and robl)ery, then 
 common, .1 night watch waa established . it con- 
 sisted of twenty four men, who, in addition lo police 
 duty, had to attend to ihe lighting and trimming of 
 the street lamps. The march of improvement 
 kept on. Steam navigation, removal of the fortift- 
 lations, ihe establishment of street lamps .ind a 
 police force, were followed closely by two events 
 fully as important vi/., the inaugurarion of the La- 
 chine canal, and the opening of our first banking 
 house, lowardt building the canal, the first stcpi 
 were taken in 1815, when legislation authorizing 
 the work was obtained ; but nothing more was then 
 done, and ill iKicj a further Hill was obtained iiicor- 
 aling a 1 ompany with a capital of l' 150,000. 
 Public faith in the financial success of the work 
 was not ureal, and two years later not more than 
 one hall the slock hail been subscribed, and help 
 was necessarily asked from the governincnl. This 
 was granted, with the result of the entire undertak- 
 ing becoming a government work. No time was 
 thereafter lost, ground being broken at Lachine on 
 the ijlh of July 1.S21, by the Hon. John Richard- 
 son who turned the first sod, and the canal was re- 
 gularly opened for vessels in 1825. The cost seems 
 small, less than $450,000 ; but it must be remem- 
 bered that .11 first it was a mere ditch compared 
 with the present work, being then but five feet 
 deep and 4.S feet wide. The Royal Kngineer ofli- 
 cers sent from time to time to re|)ort on the ( '.ana- 
 ilian canals, were unanimous in recommending 
 that the lower entrance be at the foot of St. .Mary's 
 current, but with a strange fatuity, other counsels 
 prevailed, and the terminus at \\ indmill i'oint was 
 chosen. .\t several periods since that date has the 
 rapid growth of the business of Montreal and the 
 increase in si/e of vessels, necessitated enlargements 
 which have resulted in our canal being one of the 
 finest in the worid. 
 
 Scarcely less important than the inauguration 
 of the Lachine canal was the establishment of the 
 first banking house in this city. This wis carried 
 out in 1S17 by an association of merchants, and 
 was called the Itank ol Montreal ; ihe institution, 
 commenced in a iiuiet and unostentatious way, has 
 grown enormously since then, and is to-day the 
 largest banking institution in the country, with 
 branches in every town of importance in the 
 Dominion. Its first ofiice was at No. .;4 St. James 
 street, and the cashier was Robert (irittin ; its 
 directorate was made up of twelve of the leading 
 citizens, of whom the names of I'orrance and Cuvil- 
 lier alone are still jirominent in our commercial 
 life. Within a year or two were established the 
 Savings Bank, (the predecessor of the Montreal 
 C'ity and District Hank), and the Hank of Canada. 
 The olfice of the former was in the -Monireal Bonk 
 and was managed by a Hoard of no less than thirty 
 directors including the president and three vice-

 presidents. The Bank of Canada did business at 
 Ni) .11 .Si. iTancois Xavier street, and its directors 
 largely represented the American cnnimcrcial 
 element wliich had grown to consideiabic strength 
 through the settlement in Montreal of a large num- 
 ber of merchants and others from the United 
 States. 
 
 Atjout this time (Irant's Island- -now Iwaring 
 the more euphonious name of .St. Helen, and one 
 of our most .ittraclive parks was purchased from 
 the tlrant family by the Imperial (lovernment, or 
 rather given in exchange for the block bounded by 
 Notre Dame. St. Helen, Recollet and St. I'eler 
 streets. Its situation was deemed an admirable 
 one for defence and military occupation, much at- 
 tention being at this time given to such matters by 
 tlie (^omnunderinchicf, the I liikc of Wellington, 
 whose unerring judgment was well aware of the im- 
 portance of the Colonies towards the growth of the 
 Empire. Darracks and storehouses were erected 
 on the island, and the ordnance stores and 
 munitions of war that had been formerly stored at 
 Citadel Hill, were removed to the new depot, a 
 large body of troops being also stationed there. 
 Citadel Hill was entirely removed ; part of it had 
 been taken a few years previously to form the 
 Champde-Mars, and in 1819 the rest was devoted 
 to the filling up of ponds that then existed in the 
 vicinity of the present St. I.ouis street. 
 
 Since the great earthquake of 1663 no such 
 natural phenomenon had greeted the eyes and 
 ears of Montreal's citi^iens as that which occurred 
 in November 18 ly. On the .Sth the atmosphere 
 was unusually close ; thick black clouds were 
 massed in the sky, while the sun appeared to be of 
 
 brilliant pink colour ; and a heavy shower of rain 
 fell, whi( h left in large (piaiuily a black deposit 
 like soot. On the Tuesday ihc town was covered 
 with a dense vapour through which the sim was 
 faintly seen rapidly changing in colour ; while the in 
 tense darkness necessitated artificial light through 
 out the cit\. In the afternoon a iremeiulous 
 thunderstorm came on, through whii h vi-, id flashes 
 of lightning dartca in every direction. Suddenly 
 the steeple of the French Cathedral on Place 
 D'.Vrmcs was struck ; and the ball and cross wlii< h 
 surmounted it caught tire and stood out vividly 
 against the prevailing blackness of the sky. liy 
 great exertiim the fire was extinguished, and the 
 day wore off without any furtlur conll.igralion or 
 special convulsion of the elements. The next 
 day was bright and clear. 
 
 In iS.'2 some excitement in the i ily was aroused 
 by the introduction into the Imperial Parliament 
 of a Hill to unite Upper and Lower Canada. I'he 
 French clement in the latter was strongly opposed 
 to It, while the majority of the Knglls 1 residents 
 w.Ts in favour of the measure. .\ strong F'.nglish 
 minority, however, was against it, and in ad- 
 vocacy of Heir views establishtd the Caiiii,ti,in 
 .S/'iy/ii/oi; a weekly newspajier, the first number of 
 which appeared on the ()lh of ( )ctober .s.-j .\ 
 huge petition, signed byfio.ooo persons, against the 
 Itill was sent to F.ngland in charge of Messrs. J. 
 Nelson and I.. J. I'apineau ; their elTorts were 
 crowned with success and the Hill was withdrawn. 
 
 In September 1S15 another serious fire broke 
 out in the city ; it originated in a house at the cor 
 nerof St. Mary and Campeau streets and destroyed 
 over 80 buildings before it could be checked. The 
 
 civic organization existing at that time for such 
 emergencies was of the simplest character, and had 
 it not been for the prompt assistance furnished by 
 II. \l. ;oth Keginuiii at th.it time in garrison — 
 the area laid waste iiiusi have been vastly extended. 
 With the exception of the fatal riots in 1534, and 
 the appaling visitation of the cholera in the 
 same year, no events worthy of mention took 
 place until the breaking out of the rebellion in 
 1S37. I )f these few, we may note that in 1.S30 an 
 .\i:t was p.isse<l for the improvement and enlarge 
 nunt of the ha'bour, the result of which was the 
 erection of that splendid system of wharves and 
 piers we noxv enjoy. For the plan of these we are 
 indebted to an olticer of tlie Koyal F.ngineers. 
 ('apt. I'ipi.. In iS.ii Monireal was duly iiicor 
 por.ited, and became a port of entry. 
 
 ri'.e riot to which allusion has been made took 
 place in May i.'^.iJ, during one of those protracted 
 elections, which gave rise to such abuses, inliinida 
 tion, and often bloodshed, and whose attendant in- 
 cidents, grave and gay, formed a welcome variety 
 to the monotony of even day life. The contest 
 was between Dr. I'racey and .Mr. Hagg ; u mob 
 having (ollei led, and violence being fearid, a de 
 lachmentofll M. 1 51I) Regiment were called out. 
 and, being attacked, was ordered to fire on the 
 crowd ; three of the rioters were killed and two 
 severely wounded Ureal excitemenl ensued, and 
 the officers were indicted for murder, but the Mill 
 was rejected by the (Irand Jury. Dr. I'racey was 
 elected by a majority of three. Inn was very soon 
 after carried off by the epidemic. I )eath visited 
 many homes in Monireal that summer. On the 
 loth of June the Asiatic cholera broke out with

 great violeiiie, and raged furioiisly formally weeks. 
 Over 1,000 persons died duriiif; that month, and 
 allhdiigh the fury of the epidemic, somewhat abated 
 in July, it still continued to ravage the city and 
 suburbs and in August the death numbered ,iS4. 
 It was not until the end of .Sei)tember that its hold 
 on the city ceased, after destrrvjng nearly 2,coo 
 lives. Two years later it aga ii visited Montreal, 
 and raged with as great violence as in the first out- 
 break. 
 
 The two great classes of our ciii/eiis, those of 
 I'ritish and of Krench descent, had been gradually 
 becoming more and more antagonistic to each 
 other for many years previous to the insurrection 
 ol iX,i7 .58 to which our narrative now comes. Of 
 its causes much has been written by able pens, 
 although natural ijredudice has in most instances 
 given a party colour to their writings. In .Mont- 
 real, and generally throughout this province, the 
 lines of party were so sharply defined by nation 
 alily.as to make the rising less political than racial. 
 The bitter feeling existing between the two parties 
 had reached its culminating point in the fall of 
 1 8,57, •'"'' "" 'I"' ''''' "f November of that year they 
 came to blows in a sort of running fight through 
 the principal streets of the cily. In the afternoon 
 H. M. 1st Regiment '• The Royals" was ordered 
 out, as well as a detachment of the Artillery. For 
 a few days everything was apparently quiet, but it 
 was the lull before the storm ; rebellion was in the 
 air, and the loyalists throughout the city and dis- 
 trict hastened to enroll themselves in the militia. 
 On the 16th, warrants were issued for the arrest of 
 the most prominent among the disaffected ; and 
 while assisting to enforce these, a small parly of the 
 
 Montreal Cavalry was fired on. and several 
 wounded. The foul murder of I. ieut. Weirof H.M. 
 i-Mid Regiment, while a prisoner in rhc hands of 
 the rebels, aroused the strongest feeling; of indig- 
 nation against the insurgents. Bitterness and 
 haired were ramp.-at ; the city became an armed 
 cimp, and v.'s temporarily fonified in case of at 
 lack from the surrounding district Several en- 
 -.agements took pi, ice in various parts of the 
 |)ioviiu:e between the troops and rebels ; the 
 latter fought well, but were overpowered, as 
 could only have been expected, and most of the 
 leaders lied to the I niled States. Martial lawwas 
 proclaimed on the 5th of December, and imme- 
 diately went into effect under the able control of 
 .Sir John (olbirne, afterwards Lord .Seaton. I'he 
 fight at St. I'.uslache on the i4lh December put an 
 end to any hopes of success the insurgents may 
 have then had, and the following winter and 
 summer were comparatively ciuiet During all this 
 time, however, the rebel leaders who had gone to 
 the United States were activily engaged in pro- 
 p.iga iiig their sentiments of hostility to Itri- 
 tlsh rule, sentiments with which so many of ihcy 
 inhaliilants of that country were in accord ; and in 
 October, 18,58, intelligence reached the Com- 
 mander-in-t'hief of such a nature as to cause him 
 to employ renewed vigilance. F.arly in November 
 the expected rising took place, and attacks were 
 made by the insurgents on loyalists residing near 
 l.aprairie and Beauharnois; one of the latter was 
 killed, others wounded and a number taken 
 prisoners. On the 4th, the Caughnawaga Indians, 
 while at Mass, were attacked by the rebels, who 
 soon found they had caught a tarur, tor the Indims 
 
 turned out of church and defended themselves so 
 vigourously that they made prisoners of the whole 
 raiacking party and sent them over to I.achine, 
 whence they were marched into Montreal under a 
 strong guard. Martial law was again proclaimed 
 that day ; the fears and alarms of the preceding 
 winter were renewed, and thousands of the young 
 and able-bodied men sprang to arms in defence of 
 the Constitution. Hut this rising was quickly 
 quelled ; a few skirmishes took place in the district 
 south of the city, ending in the utter discomfiture 
 of the rebel forces, and by the end of November 
 many prisoners had been taken. These were tried 
 by a general court-martial, composed of officers of 
 high social and military rank, and the utmost 
 fairness and opportunity for defence shown to the 
 unfortunate captives ; these numbered one hundred 
 and ten, of whom nine wete acc|uitted, twelve 
 sufi'ercd the extreme penalty of the law, and ihe 
 rest trans|>orted to the .Vustralian colonies. I luring 
 the winter several dasurdly att.acks on loyalists 
 were made by .\mctican sympathizers; parties of 
 these riiftiins came by night to Rouville and Cald- 
 well's Manor, burnt farm houses and ci nelly 
 assaulted the inmates ; unfortunately, only one of 
 the marauders was caught. The rebellion had now 
 ceased, and peace and order were everywhere 
 restored. It resulted not only in increased atten 
 tion being given by the Home ('■overnmcnt to 
 Cunadian matters, but in .an exhibition by the 
 better class of both nationalities of a determination 
 to uphold British connection and to maintain law, 
 order and good government. 
 
 The rebellion over, political events of importance 
 to the country loUowed in quick succession; of

 these the most noteworthy was the union of the 
 two tanadas, which came into force on the loth of 
 February, 1841, and was the I'lrst ste]) in the chain 
 of events which led to the greater union of iSd;. 
 To Montreal it brought a central |)osition, giving a 
 degree of commercial control and inlluence which 
 has lieon steadily mainlaincd and devclojicd during 
 the years which have since elapsed. Toward 
 being the centre of the political life of ("anada, it 
 also gave great promise, as in iS.)t the seat of 
 government was thither lemoved from Kingston; 
 but the fiery and uncontrolled /eal of a section of 
 its citizens in less than six years forever dispelled 
 its chances lor a continuance of this Jesiiliraliim. 
 The fall of the same year (184)) wis marked by a 
 succession of serious riols^largely the outcome of 
 election /eal — in which the Irish labourers on thi' 
 l.achine (anal were the chief aitors. Much blood- 
 shed and serious damage to property was the 
 result ; and it rei|uired energeti. and forcible action 
 on the ]>art of the military authorities Montreal 
 then possessing an excellent garrison of Iin 
 peria! troops — before the outr.iges could be sup- 
 pressed. 
 
 The absurd pretensions made by the I nited 
 Stales to the Oregon territory, and the bombast 
 and vaunting claims expressed by the legislators of 
 that nation, naturally attracted great attention 
 throughout the IJritish North .\meric.in colonies. 
 War was thought lo be inevitable, and Karl 
 t'athcart, the (lovernor of Canada at that time, 
 adopted all possible military precautions. In .Mont- 
 real, volunteers came forward in large numbers to 
 serve if a resort to arms was the //«(»/<■ of the nego- 
 tiations ; but such was .averted by I, old .\beideen, 
 the then Premier, who, caring little for and knowing 
 less of liritish .\nierica, compromised with the 
 Americans by giving up to them all the territory 
 below the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude — to 
 a large portion of which territory the Inited .States 
 had not the faintest shadow of right on any ground. 
 The ]>rinci]>al battalion raised in this city 
 was the "Montreal Killes"; it existed for several 
 years, and was an excellent (orps in every 
 way. 
 
 In C.S47 all Canada keenly felt the cllects of the 
 typhus epidcmi< which was rampant in the British 
 Isles and which was brought across the .Vtlanlic 
 with the Irish enugranls, who this year came lo 
 America in great numbers. The lirsl ^liips 
 arrived in the St. I.awience about the end of May, 
 and were found to lie thoroughly permeated with 
 the loathsome disease. Crosse Isle, near nueluc, 
 Was the main ijuaranline station, and the vessels 
 were detained there ; but those emigrants who 
 were a|ipjrontly well w.-re allowed lo proeeed west 
 lo their destinations. Hurini,' the voyage up lo 
 .Montreal and while in liie city the infe< lion spread 
 fist and iliousands of the unhappy wanderers died. 
 Teinporaiy hospitals were erected at I'oinl St. 
 Charles, and the medical men and clergy of ihe 
 citv devil- d themselves to attendance on the sick, 
 many of bnlh prolessitms losing their lives while 
 1 n(:aged in their noble work. Kew can realize the 
 situation. .Ml through the summer and fall of 
 i,S47 and the ensuing winter and spring the 
 car.iival of Death went on day after day in those 
 em^;rant sheds so near the cily, au'l the proces- 
 sion of carts 1 1 the improvised cemetery convey- 
 ing the bodies of the luckless emigrants became 
 so constant a sight as scarcely to evoke remark. 
 In all, some Ci,coo died in or near this ( ity, and 
 were buned in a vast grave near the jirescnt 
 
 entrance to the Victoria llridge. The place of in- 
 terment remained unmarked for many years ; it 
 was not until 1850 that the memori.-il that now 
 denotes the spot was erected, and this was the 
 outcome of the warm hearts and syinp.thics of the 
 workmen who, also from the Old Country, hail 
 come to .lid in the erection of the Victoria llridge. 
 On |iage 115 of this work will be found :m en 
 graving of the monument referred to. 
 
 In January, 1S47, Lord l-.lgin arrived in .Mont- 
 real to succeed Karl Cathcart in the \ iceroyalty of 
 the Canadas ; his rule was short, and gave rise to 
 events of which we in Montreal to-day feel the 
 consei|iiences. .\ government was in power whose 
 existence depended on Irench Canadian support ; 
 and to their discredit, they introduced an .\ct, 
 ihe infamous " Rebellion Losses Itill," the passage 
 of which, and the events which resulted therefrom, 
 did much to embitter the feeling between the two 
 rices, and evolved disastrous elT^cts to the country 
 in many ways. I ,ord Klgin's action in yielding to 
 his ministry in giving the Royal assent to such a 
 measure betrays a degree of weakness, of which, it 
 is altogether prob.ible that no previous governor 
 cxeepl. possibly. Sir Ceorge I'revost — would have 
 been ginl'y. .\dditional virulence was given lo the 
 struggle by a violent and totally unwarranted speech 
 delivered by Mr. I.lake, Solicitor-tiencral West, 
 attacking the leaders of the Loyalist party. Ihe 
 Hill passed through both Houses by large majorities, 
 and on W ednesday, the i\\\\ of .\i)ril, His h.xcel- 
 lency made it law by his signature. ( rowds had 
 gathered .iround the Parliament Huildings, then 
 situated where St. .\nns .Market now stands, and 
 i|ui( kly beiame aware that the Vice regal assent 
 had been given to the obnoxious measure. Shortly 
 after signing Lord l.lgin left the House, and was 
 greeted with groans and hootings from the crowd, 
 and more palpable ignominy in showers of stones 
 and rotten eggs. The pent-up exciteiuent found a 
 vent in a mass meeting that night on the Champ 
 de Mars, whence, after listening to some intlam 
 matory speeches, the immense crowd jiroceedcd to 
 the Parliament Huildings. Lawlessness was ram- 
 pant, and no attempt appears to ha\e been made 
 by the leaders to check the excesses that followed. 
 Stones thrown through the windows warned the 
 members of the House to leave — and leave they 
 did, without standing on <:eremony. lAerylhing 
 fragile w.is lirnken, and then some vandal set the 
 building on lire, and il was burned lo the ground. 
 The in.iie and an oil painlingof IKr .M.ijesiy were 
 saved ; everything cNe was destroyed, including 
 the library of about jcooo volumes, many of 
 whiih wei" of great value ; also — what was of 
 v.islly greater iinprirlance-lhe public records of 
 I inada. a priceless collec ion, impossible lo re- 
 plai e. Troops were ordered down to the scene, 
 but arrived loo late lo prevent damage ; while the 
 file engines were so delayed iiiioiilr by the mob 
 tli.it llieir arrival was too lardy lo be of 
 service. On the following day Parliament met 
 in the large hall of the lionsecoiirs .Market ; ciowds 
 slill filled Ihe streets, anil several .Minisletial mem- 
 bers met rough ireatmtnt at their li.iiids. In the 
 evening .attacks were made on the house of Hon. 
 L. 1 1. Lalontaine, the Premier ol that day ; much 
 damage was done, all glass and furniture broken, 
 and his valuable library completely destroyed. 
 Rioting eoniinucd at int< rvals for several days, the 
 mob even going to the length of attacking and 
 stoning Lord T.lgin on his coming into the cily 
 (from his country seat at .Monlclands) on the 30th. 
 
 His Kxcellency's demeanour throughout all these 
 trying scenes was cilm aiiJ coriip,)s.;d ; whatever 
 criticism may be passed on his action, which was 
 made the text for the ri.it, his peisonal courage 
 and ctpianimilv even in the most t'ying scenes 
 were worthy of his rank and social siation. In the 
 fiillowing August, on the oicasion of Ihe arrest m 
 several ringleaders of the riot, further attai ks were 
 made on Mr. I.afontaine's house, and during its 
 defence one of the assailants, nimod Mason, was 
 fatally shot This was an incentive to further 
 trouble, and for several nighls there was more or 
 less disturbance. .Ml these occurrences gave 
 Montreal an unenviable reputation for mob rule, 
 and proved fatal to her continuance as the poliiical 
 capital. Parli.iment had been prorogued on the 
 ,;cth of May, and it proved the last lliat this city 
 should see. I!y ( ictober it w.is decided by the 
 Covernment that the sessions of the House should 
 in future be held in Toronlo and i,>iiebec, altcr- 
 naling every two years, and in November the 
 removal took place. Thus did the uncliei ked 
 fren/y of a niib. fi)llowing an error in judgment of 
 the nation's chief magistrate, cau-.e the loss to Mont- 
 real of the privileges and fin.incial advantages of a 
 capital ciiv. 
 
 With the next year (1S5D) came a repetition of 
 those disastrous fires that h.id in former years 
 played such havoc in the city. On June 15th the 
 fire broke out in a shop at the corner of Na/.ireth 
 and l)tiawa streets and r.aged with great fury ; J07 
 houses were destroyed and over 500 families were 
 rendcrd homeless. Two months liter another sec- 
 tion of the town had alike visitation. On the ;: ;rd of 
 .\ugtist a fire commenced in a livery stable on 
 Craig street, and sprcid with remarkable rapidity 
 to St. I.awrenie street and up into the suburbs of 
 that n.ime, destroying over 150 houses. An ex- 
 tremely inelhcient supply of water rendered efforts 
 to subdue these conllagrations of but little value ; 
 the citizens were aroused to a sense of their dan- 
 ger, which resulted in a substantial improvement 
 in this respect andalso in more attention being paid 
 lo the class of buildings permissablc within the 
 city limits. \ et their action was slow, far too slow, 
 as .after events proved. U ithin two years, further 
 fires, invohing an appalling loss cif property, took 
 place, devasling a vast area of the 1 ily's then lim- 
 ited extent. On the 7th of June, 1.S5;, a car- 
 penter's shop on St. Pell i sticet look fire, and from 
 it the ll.iinei sjiread down ihat street and east 10 
 St. Siilpiee streel, destroying nearly every building 
 between tho.se limits ; the loss amounted to up- 
 wards of t'joo,ooo. l!ul this was only a part of 
 the year's disaster from the fiery element. ( In the 
 <;th of June anoilur coiill.igration commenced in a 
 house on St. Lawrence street ; a high wind existed, 
 anil the llain.-s were earned e.istward until almost 
 every building between St. Lawrence and St. Denis 
 streets w.is destroyed, including the Roman 
 Catholic church on the lomer of Si. D.:iih and 
 St. (Catherine streets. Ily five o'clock in the after- 
 noon it had lulled, but in the evening broke out 
 again near I lailiousie sipiare, and raged all that 
 night, laying low every building between that point 
 and i'apineau road and from l.agauchetiere street 
 to die river. No less than 1,100 build. ngs were 
 destroyed, worth ubout l'ioo,ooo. .Many lam- 
 ilies were utterly ruined, and active measures 
 had to be promptly taken for their relief; the City 
 Council voted a Lirge sum, and subscriptions 
 poured in from neighbouring cities, both here and 
 in England and the United States.

 About this iwriod commenced that active exten- 
 sion of railway connections with the principal 
 centres, which has resulted in the excellent facili- 
 ties now possessed by our citi/ens. The first rail- 
 road in Canada had been opened in i8j6 from 
 l.aprairie to St. Johns, followed in 1.S47 by the line 
 from Montreal to l.ichine. In 1851 rail connec- 
 tion wai opened between I.ongueuiland Richmond, 
 whence an extension to (,)uebcc soon followed. 
 Among other prominent events of this period was 
 the holjing of a Provincial exhibition on a large 
 scale in 1S50, preparatory to the selection of ex- 
 hibits for the great international show that was to 
 I e held in London in 1.S51 : the Montreal afTa r 
 was very successful, bringing many thousands of 
 visitors to the city. 'I'he first Protestant bishop for 
 the newly-formed l)io<:esc of Montreal was also 
 enthroned this year. In 1853 the (lava/.zi troubles 
 took place, resulting in serious loss of life through 
 the firing of the military on the people coming out 
 ol Zion Church, due to some extraordinary blun 
 der, which was never satisfactorily exf^lained. 
 Other leading occurrences of the year were the 
 opening of the Cirand Trunk Railway to Portland, 
 the inauguration of the |)resent Roman Catholic 
 cemetery, and the laying of the foimdation stone 
 of the first pier of the Victoria Bridge. The fol- 
 lowing year saw a return of the cholera epidemic, 
 
 the fourth in 22 years. Kxcepting the first visita- 
 tion in 1S5J, at no period did the outbreak jirove 
 so fatal asm 1K54, neatly 1,300 persons succumb- 
 ing to its virulence. During its progress the new 
 Protestant cemeter)', " Mount Royal." was opened, 
 and its first occupant was the Rev. Mr. S(|uires, a 
 Wesleyan minister of the city. 
 
 The I'.xhibition of 1550 had been a marked suc- 
 cess, and it i; not surprising that prior to the great 
 Paris Exhibition of i>>55, another Indjstri.il Fair 
 should be held in Montreal to select articles to be 
 sent to the great French metiopolis. It was 
 o|)cned on the 5th of March, i855,by .Sir Kdmund 
 Head, the (lovcmor-tieneral, and was an un(|uali 
 fied success from every |»int of view. In July the 
 city was favoured with a visit from M. de Belve/e, 
 I ommanding the French navy on the Newfound- 
 land station ; our people vied with each other 
 in extending courtesies to him, his ship bein^ the 
 first war vessel of that nation that had navigated 
 the .St. Lawrence since the stoimy events of 1760. 
 The news of the fall of Sebastpol reached Mont- 
 real soon after, and was celebrated with a remark- 
 able degree of enthusiasm. The streets were bril- 
 liantly illumiiuted and the whole display was the 
 finest the city had ever exhibited. 
 
 Three prominent events marked the year of grace 
 1836. The fint wai of a mo«t mournful nature, 
 
 resulting in the loss of 15 lives, besides many 
 wounded ; it was the explosion of the boiler in the 
 (Irand I'runk ferry-boat, plying between l.ongueuil 
 and this city. This sad disaster happened on the 
 I ith of June. < )n the j.sih of the same month the 
 citizens witnessed a stirring sight in the arrival of 
 H.M. ,59th Rcgimenl, which came direct from the 
 Crimea. .\ magnificent recejition was tendered to 
 the gallant corps, ending with a banquet in the 
 City Hall to the 1 Hirers and men. The most im- 
 portant event of the year, however, was the cele- 
 bration wh'ch took place on the opening of the 
 (irand I'runk Railway between Montreal and 
 Toronto. 'I'his happened in November, and 
 brought to the city an immense number of visitors. 
 .\ huge procession, a banquet, a review of the 
 military, and a display of fireworks were some r f 
 the more noteworthy features of the affair. The 
 year closed with the destruction by fire of the old 
 Knglish ('athedral on Notre Dame street ; the site of 
 the present edifice was chosen without much delay, 
 and on the 21st of the following May the corner 
 stone was laid with great ceremony. During this 
 year the first Normal schools were opened in the 
 city ; and scientific research received a great im- 
 petus in the visit of the " American Asso- 
 ciation for the Advancement of Science," 
 which met in Montreal in August, hold-

 ing its session in the Court House. Another 
 terrible accident occurred this year, in the burning of 
 the steamboat Montreal, plying between Montreal 
 and (Quebec ; many lives were lost, all the victims 
 being Scotch emigrants who had juit arrived in the 
 country. 
 
 1858 witnessed the raising ol a regiment in 
 Canada for Imperial service, conse<|uenl on the 
 startling news of the Indian mutiny reaching this 
 country. Over uoo men "took the shilling," 
 and of these .Montreal contributed 1 10. The corps 
 was numbered in the .Army List as the "1 00th," 
 but now forms one of the battalions of the " I.ein- 
 ster Regiment or Royal Canadians." in addition 
 to this military link between Canada and the 
 N[other Country, the .\ugustof tSsS saw the estab- 
 lishment of a more peaceful bond of union in the 
 shape of the first Atlantic cable, and on the 1st of 
 September a celebration took place in this city 
 in honour of the event, ending with a torch- 
 light procession and general illumination. lor 
 several years previous to this the great work of 
 building the Victoria liridge had been steadily go- 
 ing on, and on the 19th of November trains began 
 to regularly cross the mighty structure. It 
 was arranged that H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, 
 who was to visit America during the follov ing year, 
 be asked to formally open the bridge, and a large 
 sum of money was subscribed in "Order to properly 
 carry out the proimsed festivities. A public meet- 
 ing was held on the jjnd of May iSdoandthe 
 necessary definite arrangements were made. The 
 I'rince duly reached Montreal on the .:4lli August, 
 and disembarked at lionsecours Pier on the fol- 
 lowing day. A magnificent reception was given to 
 him; he landed under a brautifuul pavilion and 
 was ofticially received by the Mayor, who, sur 
 rounded by the aldermen and clergy, ])resented the 
 address of welcome, after which a procession was 
 formed which escorted him to his temporary resi- 
 dence. The new Crystal Palace on St. Catherine 
 street was thereafter opened by His Royal Highness, 
 soon after which came the great event of the day, the 
 formal completion of the \ictoria Hridge and ils 
 official opening lor trafiic. This was duly accom- 
 plished, the Prince laying on the mortar to the last 
 stone and driving the last rivet. In the evening 
 the entire city was mngnificently illuminated. On 
 Monday, the 27th, a grand ball was given in an 
 enormous pavilion spicially erected in the fields 
 which then e.xisted lielwien St. Catherine and 
 Sherbrooke streets ; and on Wednesday a brilliant 
 review of the entire military force of the city wa'- 
 held on Logan's faim, the I'rince appearing in the 
 uniform cf the icolh (Royal Canadian) Regiment. 
 These were the most noteworthy events of this 
 nunioiable visit of our future Sovereign; space 
 does not permit us to give more details. lie left 
 .\lontre.d for the west on the 30th. 
 
 I n the following 1 86 1 , came one of the most serious 
 lUiods that has ever visited the ciiy : it came on dur- 
 ing the evening of Sunday, April i4th,and with such 
 speed as to imprison in their churches for many 
 hours several congregations who had assembled for 
 divine service. The river rose 24 feet above its 
 average level, and was accompanied by a heavy 
 snowstorm and severe cold, which greatly intensi- 
 fied the sufferings of the inundated families. The 
 old Hotel Dieu on St. Paul street was this year re- 
 moved, and the City Passenger Railway Com- 
 pany began the construction ol its street 
 tramways. The excitement of the year was 
 what is known as the "Trent affair," the 
 
 seizing of two Confederate Commissioners on 
 board of a Hritish ship by an .\mencan naval 
 officer. Her Majesty's Ciovernment promptly de- 
 manded reparation for this outrage, and took im- 
 mediate measures to enforce its claim. Many 
 regiments were sent out to Canada, several of 
 them coming to Montreal while the mihtary en- 
 thusiasm of the young men of the city knew no 
 bounds ; the active militia was recruited to a 
 degree unknown in its previous history, and drill 
 and military preparation absorlicd all attention. 
 Korlimately, the United States surrendered the 
 Commissioners, and the peace remained un- 
 broken ; but the effect in ("anadian military nut- 
 tern was far-reaching and benefic ial. Poor and 
 unsatisfactory as our militia system is now, prior 
 to i860 it was infinitely worse; and we are in- 
 debted very largely to the " I'rent affair " for the 
 existence of many of the best corps of to-day. In 
 addition to the impetus thus given to volunteering, 
 .Montreal benefited very greatly in having such a 
 large force of regular troops stationed in its hmits, 
 the amount of money thus circulated being un- 
 usually great. Montreal treated the garrison well ; 
 in the following .May a festival w.ts given to them 
 in the Crjstal Palace, at which on successive days, 
 the whole regular force, amounting to nearly 5000 
 men, was most liberally entertained. 
 
 In Oclol) r, 1 86.', the William Molson Hall, of 
 McCJiU University, was formally opened. His 
 Kxcellency the tiovernor-Ceneral was present, and 
 a brilliant array of leading citizens. The event 
 marked a distinct epoch in the educational and 
 literary life of the city, and must always be con- 
 sidered an affair of great interest, as the first of 
 that noble pile of buildings which to-day represent 
 Canada's greatest university. 
 
 During these years the progress of the city in 
 every parti( ular had been steady and substaniial. 
 prom 1S57 to i86j over 3,000 new buildings had 
 been erected, replacing many of anticjuated and 
 defective design, besides extending the visible 
 limits of the city in every direction. From the 
 completion of the \ictoria liridge and the rapid 
 extension of railway facilities, the rate of growth 
 during "the sixties "was even more noteworthy. 
 In 18(14 over 1,000 buildings were put up, many of 
 them of unusual size ; thus steady employment was 
 given to a great number of workmen. Wiih the 
 excejition of an .ther serious Hood in 1865, no 
 event of special importance occurred until the 
 spring and summer of 1866, when the attacks of 
 the I'enians on our borders .igain aroused the 
 mili ary spirit among all classes of citizens, and 
 our voluiitier regiments were quickly at the frontier. 
 'I'wo companies were sent out in March, .-.nd early 
 ill June, when it became evident that the marauders 
 seriously threatened a general attack, a large force 
 of the active militia of Montreal was pushed to the 
 front ; the citi/.ens who remained at home formed 
 themselves into a s'rong " Home Guard," and con- 
 tributed handsomely to the support of the families 
 of those away on duty. In this province the 
 enemy made only one attack — at Pigeon Hill — but 
 was soon repulsed and several of them taken 
 prisoners by the Montreal Cavalry. On the 18th 
 of June most of the volunteers returned, and on the 
 23rd a grand review was held on the Champ le 
 Mars, at which an address was read to the troops 
 by the Mayor, on behalf of the city authorities, 
 tendering their "gratitude and thanks for their 
 devotion, loyalty and courage in the late e;ner- 
 gency." 
 
 The 1st of July in the following year, 1867, si-w 
 the birthday of the new Dominion of Canada, and 
 nowhere was the great event celebrated with more 
 enthusiasm than in the good city of Montreal. 
 I'he principal public buildings and streets were 
 gaily decorated ; the ships in the harbour, including 
 H.M..S. Wolverine, were a mass of bunting; a 
 review of the entire garrison — regular and vol- 
 unteer — was held on Logan's harm ; and in the 
 evening a pyrotechnic display of unusual brilliancy 
 was given from the mountain. To Montreal, as 
 well as to all the other great ('anadian cities, the 
 Confederation, thus fittingly inaugurated, has been 
 of no small significance ; many new markets for 
 our merchants and manufacturers were by it 
 brought within reach ; and the result has amply 
 proved, that in trade and commerce, as in cvery- 
 teing else, the Union of the Hritish North .\merican 
 Colonies was an event of the greatest import- 
 ance and benefit to all the provinces concerned. 
 
 I-'enianism in Canada and the United States 
 frontier, though scotched in 1 866, slill lived, and 
 exerted its baneful inHuence on all [Kjssible oci-a- 
 sions. The foul murder of the Honourable Thomas 
 D'.\rcy Mctiee, in .April, 1868, was a direct result 
 of its venomous power. The excitement in Mont- 
 real on hearing the sad news was intense ; it was 
 for the time the universal subject of conversation, 
 and all respectable classes of the community 
 united in expressing indignation at such a foul 
 crime. .\t a public meeting, quickly convened, it 
 was decided that the funeral be a public one, and 
 at the expense of the city. The obsequies were 
 held on the i3thof.\pril, and were conducted in the 
 most ornate and impressive manner. The whole 
 military force in the city took part, lining the streets 
 through which the cortege had to pass, while crowds 
 of spectators occupied every spot from which a 
 glimpse of the large procession could be obtained. 
 The body lay in sta'e at the family residence on 
 St. Catherine street for a couple of days prior to 
 the last sad rites. The funeral proceeded to St. 
 Patrick's Church, and then to the Notre Dame 
 Parish Church, before taking the last journey to 
 the city of the dead ; and from all its surroundings 
 was probably the most impressive ceremony ol 
 the kind ever seen in the streets of .Montreal. 
 
 In October, 1861), the city was favoured with a 
 visit from H.R.H. Prince .Arthur, who, holding a 
 lieutenant's commission in the RiHe Brigade, came 
 here on duly with his regiment. .\ royal welcome 
 was given him. Preparations were made some- 
 what similar to those which had attended the 
 visit of his elder brother nine years before, the 
 civic address being presented immediately on his 
 landing at the wharf, while the line of route through 
 the city was marked by arches and profuse decora- 
 tions. .\ few days after his arrival he went west 
 for a short trip, after which he returned to Mont- 
 real and remained in garrison with his battalion 
 during the following winter and summer. We now 
 come to the last of the I'enian episodes which 
 created so much excitement in ihis country. Since 
 1868 I.ieut.-Col. Osborn Smith, the first command- 
 ing officer of the Victoria Rifies, had been in charge 
 of the southern frontier, and closely watched the 
 marauders who threatened our border. On or 
 about the 23rd of May, 1870, it became evident to 
 the authorities that some movement was on the 
 tafiis, and the telegraph wires were taken posses- 
 sion of by the Government, On the following 
 day, the Montreal volunteers paraded as usual to 
 honour Her Majesty's birthday, but were informed

 thai the orthodox routine was nut In be followed 
 on that occasion ; that the I enians were a);ain on 
 our liordiTS, and that a service company froine.ich 
 battalion would have to leave lot the fn>nt that 
 afternoon. These- to the number of about ico 
 men- left almut seven o'clock that evening ; while 
 the rest of the force was kept on duly in 
 the city, ready to leave it at an hour's 
 notice. The scnice companies proceeded 
 to St. Johns, whence the detachment of 
 \ictorias anil t'avalry were sent on to Stan- 
 bridge, and trmk part in the tiKht at I'.ccles Hill 
 on the 25lh , the remainder of the several corps 
 left Montreal that night, and were M.itiontd in St. 
 lohns for about eight days; all fear of further 
 trouble then passed away, .ind they returned In their 
 customary occupations. The Ciarrisnn Artillery 
 and Knginecrs had been sent to Huntingdon, and 
 took part in the skirmish at I rout River on the 
 .'7th, when the lenians, who had crossed some dis- 
 tance into Canadian territory, were driven back 
 into the I'nited States at the point of the bayonet. 
 Montreal's representatives remained on duty at 
 Huntingdon a few days after the fight, and then re 
 turned home, receiving a noteworthy ovation on 
 landing in the city. Some idea of the pre- 
 parations ni.ide by the lenians for this raid, .ind 
 of the sympathy shown ihcm by the .\merican 
 residents along the frontier, can be gathered from 
 the fact that stores and munitions ol all kinds to the 
 value of i)rob.ably a i|uarter of million dollars 
 had been ([uietly gathered during the preceding 
 few weeks and stored in the various farmhouses 
 near the border. 
 
 Of public and civic interest was the formal pre 
 sentation to the city of the statue of the (^lueen, which 
 now adorns Victoria si|uarc. This took place on 
 the .list November 1X72, the ceremony being per 
 formed by Lord Diill'.rin, our late [lopular t'lovernor 
 (ieneral. Montre.il is singularly deficient in monu- 
 ments to those connected with our national or civic 
 life and it w,is hoped that this handsome statue to 
 Her Majesty would be only the lir.^l of a scries of 
 similar structur-js ; but nearly twenty years have 
 now elapsed and the Victoria si|ua'e memorial still 
 remains the first and last. 
 
 A noteworthy event of the following year was 
 the funeral of Sir C.-orge !•.. ( artier, whiih took 
 place on the i.tth of June. The body arrived from 
 London (when his diaih had oci urred) on the 
 I ith, and lay in state at the Idurt House for two 
 days. I he obsci|uies were held at the expense of 
 the ( iovernment and were < ondiiried with every 
 degree of ceremony appropiiale to the sad occ.i 
 sion. The whole military lune in the 1 ily lined 
 the streets through which the ao/i-xf passed ; 
 politicians and personal friends of the deceased 
 were present from all pans of the Dominion : 
 .and at Notre Dame l hurch the stately ritual of 
 the burial service was <:onducled with every 
 possible accompaniment that would add solemnity 
 to the event. 
 
 Naiional and religious feuds occupied much 
 public attention during the next few years. In 
 1.S75 the tluibordcare was, after years of legisla- 
 tion, finally decided in favour of the claimant ; in 
 <:arrying out the decision of the (.'oiirt much oppo- 
 sition was experienced, and it was not until the 
 whole militia force of ihe < ily had been ordered out 
 that the interment of liuibord's body in cimse 
 crated ground was allowed. Iw,) years later the 
 old standing trouble between the " Orange and 
 Ureen " factions broke out with renewed violence,

 and the murder ol a young Orangemen named 
 H ickctt .added intense virulence to the quarrel, 
 ai.d, indeed, created much excitement with all 
 c'asses of the < ommunity. On the ulh of July ol 
 the following year (1.S7.S) the ( Irangeinen deter- 
 mined to walk in jirocession and regalia to church ; 
 but as this was fell by the Mayor to be lertain to 
 piovoke seiious rioting and much bloodshed, he 
 ai rested the drjiige leaders, thus |iuttiiig an end 
 to the proposed diinonsiration ; his acli'Mi in this 
 mailer was mm h c| estioned, but afterwards 
 leceivcd t' e approval of ihe courts of law. ( >n 
 this occasion, not only was the whole mililia force 
 in the ciiy under aims, but several regiments from 
 neiglibtiuring municipalities were ordered to 
 .Montreal, to assist in preserving the peace. 
 
 In November of this year, the .Maiijuis of 
 I. ornc, who had been appointed to succeed Lord 
 Duflerin in the \ ice-Royally, arrived to assume 
 the duties of his olhce. with his wife H. R. H. ihe 
 I'rincess Louis". The receptions given them at 
 all |jlaces visiicd were enthusiastic and hearty to a 
 degree. Kach 1 ily vied with the other in tokens of 
 welcome ; but we 1 an honestly claim for Montreal 
 a demonstr.ation unsurpassed by any throughout 
 the Dimiinion, marred only by the wretched 
 weather which continued throughout the festivi- 
 ties. ■ ^- : 
 
 During the past ten years si many things have 
 occurred well worthy of record that selection 
 bee omes dillicult. I'erhaps the events in the city 
 during the year 1.SS5 are most deserving of noti . 
 When news of the sudden outbreak of the rebel- 
 lion in the North-West reached the city, intense 
 excilement followed and the Inillelins and daily 
 papers were scanned with ihe keenest interest. 
 This was intensified when news came that two 
 Montreal b.atlalions of militia had been ordered 
 out for active service ; and the departure of these 
 two corps — the '131I1 Killes, and llie Montreal 
 (iarrison Artillery — was marked by the attendance 
 of vast crowds and the cxtiibition of great eniliu 
 siasm. Their progress tliroughoul the 1 ampaign 
 was closely watched by our c ilizcns ; and on their 
 return in July, they rec:eivcd a magnilicent ovation 
 Irom all classes and communities of the people. 
 'The sm.all pox epidemic which broke out during 
 the same summer, besides oca:asioning the loss of 
 life of a great number of our people, had an ex- 
 tremely serious effect on the general business of 
 the city, tourist travel -in fact travel of all sort — 
 being almost entirely suspended for fear of the 
 contagion. One of the first victims was a man 
 who had occupied a prominent |)Osilion in the 
 political life of old Canada, the Hon. Sir Krancis 
 Hincks. The decision of the authorities to use

 liahitants oi' St. jean liaptiste \ illage, and the 
 services of various (letaclinients of our vohinteers 
 were necessary to enforce the law. The c\ei:ution 
 of l.ouis Kiel at Kegiiia aroused great excitement 
 among his sympathisers in Montreal : a mass 
 
 meeting was held on the Champ dc .\l.irs and 
 various inflammatory resolutions were adopted 
 Considerable disturbarue took plaee on the streets 
 for several nights, and much friction between the 
 two races continued for a long time after, system 
 atically fed by a certain poriim of the eiiy 
 press. 
 
 I iiie of (he most niiportaiu eAeuls of Ulc years 
 has been the erection of the Canadian Pacific 
 Railway bridge, cro'sing the S'. Lawrence at 
 l.:ic:hine, thus affording another link between our 
 railways ;.ncl the .'Miuthern systems. I'he structure 
 is light yet substantial, and .iflbrds to the jcassen- 
 ger crossing it a magnificent view of Lake St. 
 Louis on the one hand, and the beginning of the 
 l.arhine Rapids on the other, (,'onsidering the 
 e\lensi\e nature of the work, the enormous length 
 of the necessary approiches, and the rapid cairrent 
 in which the piers had to be built, the bridge was 
 built and opened for tratlic: in a marvellously short 
 siiac e of lime. 
 
 In brinijing to a conclusion our hasty sketch of 
 the city's development it is pleasing to be able to 
 point to its present uiiei|uilled cuniinercial |iositlon 
 .imong Canadian cities, and its rapid growth into 
 the front rank of the great marls of the world. 
 With a popiilaliiin of over a cpiarler of a million 
 ■ouls, .Montreal can juslly c laim the hcst place in 
 ilie solidity of her piibhc buildings, her ware- 
 houses, and the resicleni es of her weathier sons ; 
 in the superb nalur.il .nlvanlages she possesses, 
 in the scenic: luauty of her surroundings, and in her 
 position at the head of the navigable reach of a great 
 river. With renewed energy on ilie p.irt of her 
 citizens to watch carefully her civic: administration, 
 and to introduce measures of reform and improve- 
 ment, she may never fear bein^ distanced in the 
 race for commercial supremacy. 
 
 Montreal has, for the last half century, ranked 
 lirst among Canadian cilies ; and first she will 
 always be if her citi/ens maintain that energy and 
 spirit i^.f commercial enierpri^e which has in past 
 years been iheir inirked c:haracterislic. J. P. K.

 ciation of the condiiiims and rei|uircmenls of trade, 
 and to efT.irls on the part if the public which, 
 strengthened by its organized and efTective inllucnce 
 
 The (Committee sought incor|ioration ai a board of 
 trade but failed. I'nder changing conditions it 
 became by degrees unsuiled to the needs of the 
 city and in i.s,)i| it ceased (o exist. I he very next 
 year, 1S40, a meeting of merchants was held to 
 consider again the organi/alion of a board of trade. 
 It was dcf ided in the athrmalive and the initial 
 steps were taken, though incor|ioralion was not 
 ■«curcd till two years later. I he board started 
 with IC5 incinbcrs, from whom the following were 
 chosen the lirsl olticers : I'resident, I. T. Ilrond- 
 gcest ; \ ice-President, 'I'homasCringan ; I're.isurer,

 Ilefore speaking further of the Inard it is neies- 
 sary, since the ("orn l'.x< hangc Assoi lalion is now 
 anialganuled with ihv Hoard of Trade, to nole 
 
 rctary treasurer. An act of incor|M)ration was 
 secured in iMIi), and as the rooms of the Kxcliange 
 and those of the Hoard of Trade were on the same 
 lloor. a joint secretaryship was agreed to, the ottice 
 being given to Wni. |. Tatterson, a gentleman who 
 brought to the lultilmeni of his duties so much 
 ability and zeal thai he was continue d in the otilce 
 until his death in i.SHti. (leorge Hadrill, who was 
 his assistant for some time, succeeded him in the 
 olhcc and still retains ii. having shown himself 
 fully ecpial lo the grea'ly increased duties. To 
 suggest ihe extent of new work dcvolting u|>on the 
 secretary and his staff, it is only necessary 10 jioinl 
 lo the fact that the membership has increased from 
 3.S0 to 1,(00 since Mr. Il,idrill was ap|K)inted. 
 The work has been done without .my increase in 
 the staff, which is the best tribute that can be 
 paid t'l his /.'.-al .ind energy.

 meet the conditions and re<|uiienients and tend to 
 the steady and growing develo|iment of the com- 
 mercial relations and interests of the city and the 
 llominion. This board hasexisied under its pres- 
 ent name for half a century, but h.id existed for 
 many years iirevious lo that as the Coinniiltee of 
 Trade. .\way back in iSjj, during the period of 
 world wide depression following the great lairo|>can 
 wars, there was organized in Montreal, a •' Com- 
 mittee of Trade" whose .avowed object was "to 
 watch over the general interests of the trade of the 
 country." This committee was elected by mer- 
 chants of the city, who ipialified themselves to vote 
 by the payment of an annual fee. The committee 
 was composed, of thirteen gentlemen and the first 
 one was made up as follows ; Horatio Gates, ( leorge 
 A uldys, George Mofl'at, Henry McKenzic, Campbell 
 Sweeney, John Koisyth, I'eler McGill, K. A. I.a- 
 rocque, John Fleming, .Samuel Gerrard, Thomas 
 HIackwood, Chas. I.. Ogden and James Leslie. 
 The Committee of 'Trade existed for seventeen 
 years and many iin|)ortant questions pressed them- 
 selves upon its attention. Chief among these was 
 that of steam communication with Great liritian. 
 
 the beginning of that organization. It had iis 
 origin in a meeting called by I). I,. Macdougall, 
 and which was held in ihe Hoard of 'Trade rooms in 
 Ihe year 1.S6.:. Thirteen leading grain and pro- 
 duce brokers met and discussed the question of 
 organi/alion for mutual benefil. Kobert Ksdaile 
 presided and I . W. Taylor ailed as secretary of the 
 meeling. 'These two gentlemen were among the 
 most active and enthusiastic members of the asso- 
 ciation which was scxin after organized. The first 
 lioard of management was composed of Robert 
 T'.sdaile. president ; J. W. 'Taylor, secretary- 
 treasurer ; .\. Mitchell and .\. Heward, councillors. 
 'Tables were allocated and a day announced for the 
 formal opening of the exchange. It was claimed, 
 however, by a committee of merchants of whom 
 Hon. John Young was spokesman, that the con- 
 stitution of the ass<K:iation was too restricted, and a 
 conference led to a re-arrangement and the election 
 of a new hoard of management as follows : R. 
 Ksdaile, C. G. Cusack, Hon. John Young, I). A. 
 I'. Walt, Henry Buddcn, J. W. 'Taylor, John 
 Dougall, Hon. I,. Revand and Ira Gould. Mr. 
 Ksdaile was chosen chairman and Mr. Taylor see- 
 
 the wholesale grocers' guild as a branch of ihe 
 board and by the organi/alion of a wholesale dry 
 go<ids association and a marine underwriters' asso 
 ciation as branches of the board. The present 
 board, therefore, with its branches, is a most in- 
 lluenlial organization, and whose delibera'ions and 
 labors are of incalculable benefit lo the city and, 
 incidentally, to the Dominion. During the half 
 century of its existence, the board has done great 
 service to the trade and commerce of the country ; 
 and as the years passed and the population in- 
 creased, the scope of its operations broadened with 
 the growing needs of the times. It has always 
 been a |>otent factor in hastening legislation tending 
 to the promotion of trade, and never in its history 
 was its activity so marked and so potential as at 
 the present time. 1'he annual report for i.Syo is a 
 large pamphlet of seventy pages, giving most ex- 
 tensive and comprehensive trade statistics and 
 showing how in a thousand ways the board had 
 done important service to the city and country by 
 its deliberations and active labor during the year.

 provcmenl of li.irliour facilities at Montreal, 
 the reductiou of port c liargis anil the preven- 
 tion of ll.iods are other matters of vital importance 
 that th • I; urd has advocated with energy and sue 
 cess. In fact, lo enumerate tne various lines in 
 which it has rendered splendid service would be to 
 speak of all matters that pertain lo the commercial 
 welfare of Canada. No published records convey 
 any idea of the amount of work done. It is not 
 prudent to make public every detail of discussion 
 that takes place around the council board, but 
 ipiiet discussion is none the less effective in paving 
 Ihc way for more vigorous effort. The newly elec- 
 ted memliersof the eouiu il invariably express sur- 
 prise at the amount and variety of business that is 
 brought up lor consideration at the weekly meet 
 ings The full board meets i|uarterly and when 
 ever else it may be called by urgent business. I'or 
 several years the need of better accommodation 
 for the boar<l has been keenly felt. This difliculty 
 is now about to be overcome .ind a new building 
 which, widi the ground, will cost about half a mil 
 lion dollars will soon be in course of erection. The 
 property known as the (uvillier block, near the 
 present I'orn Kxchange and bounded by .St. Peter, 
 St. Sacrament and St. Nicholas streets, has been 
 purchased, plans have been prepared and 
 ado]ited by the Hoard, and the work of 
 construction will be begun. The area of 
 the ground is ;d)oul 15.500 sipiare feet, and only 
 the Hoard of Trade building will stand \\\mi\ it. 
 The location, midway between the principal busi 
 ness streets and the water front, is an admirable 
 one. The building is to be six stories in height, 
 with basement, to be constructed of stone, with iron 
 stairways throughout. It will be complete in every 
 particular, with safety deposit vaults to occupy 
 about ^,500 or 3,000 square feet. There will also 
 be a restaurant and smoking room, so that persons 
 having business olfn es in the building will be jiro- 
 vided with every convenience. Kor the purposes 
 of the Hoard of Trade there will be an exchange 
 hall, area about 4,000 s<|uare feet ; reading room, 
 30x50 feet ; council room; .'oxjo feet ; committee 
 room, I 5x20 feet ; oltice, 20x20 feet ; besides tele- 
 phone rooms, lavatories, etc., and for the stock ex- 
 change an exchange room 30x50 feet with other 
 smaller rooms. Tne rest of the building will be 
 divided up into offices. The structure will be 
 
 ready for o< cupation early in 1X03. Il will be an 
 important addition to the city's list ol m.ignilicent 
 buildings. 
 
 When that time come!i the old corn exchange, 
 which has played so im|>ortant a part in the com 
 mercial history of Montreal will be a thing of the 
 past.

 Ghambre de Gommerce. 
 
 .\llhough it h.is been but four years in existence, 
 havmg been organi.»c'd in Dectiuber, i.Si^o, the 
 (liambre de Conunerce has proved its right to 
 exist by becoming a nourishing organization and 
 de.iling in a candid, intelligent and fair minded 
 manner with all matters relating to thi' trade ;ind 
 commerceol the city, and lending valuable inlluence 
 to the advancement of the interests ol the city and 
 country at large. \\ hen this Board was founded 
 there was someobjecticmto such a movement, inider 
 the mistaken notion that to have two boartis of 
 trade, speaking different languages, would lead to 
 sectional jealousy and disputes harmful to the best 
 interests of the city. Such has not been the case. 
 It was never intended that the (.'hambre de Com 
 merce should be exclusive, and as a matter of fact 
 it is not. It has Knglish, as well as Trench mem- 
 bers, and if most of the discussions are conducted 
 in the latter language, it is that those who might 
 feel ill at ease in endeavoring to express themselves 
 in I'.nglish before the old board may freely present 
 their views in the language to which they are most 
 accustomed, and so add to the sum of opinion on 
 any given (jueslion, which olher\vise might lack the 
 value ol the expression of their knowledge or ex- 
 perience. 'That the Hoard now has about three 
 hundred members and is an exceedingly active and 
 enthusiastic body, where matters pertaining to the 
 business of the country are concerned, is abundant 
 justification for its existence. It does not clash 
 with the older organization, but has, on more than 
 one important occasion, rendered valuable assist- 
 
 ance. .\s a body, it is thoroughly representative 
 of the business interests of the city. Matters re 
 lating to the navigation of the St. Lawrence, harbour 
 improvements, fl(X)d prevention, extension of trade 
 with Krance, the West Indies, japan and ('hina, 
 commercial treaties, customs and |K)Stal regulations, 
 tariff and general trade legislation, steamship sub- 
 sidies, railway rates, railway extension and service, 
 street railway improvements, electric lighting, muni- 
 cipal debt, canals and tolls, commercial and agri- 
 cultural education, encouraging native industries, 
 strtet paving, level crossings, laws rclatmg to 
 deblor.s, municipal taxation, liijuor li( ensing, m.irine 
 insurance ,ind marine hospital, are some of the 
 m.my inipottaiu maltirs discussed by the Hoard, 
 and in relation to which their influence has l>ecn, 
 in many cases, a [Kiwerful f.icior in securing im- 
 provement or reform. The following partial list of 
 subjetts discussed during the session of the Hoard 
 in I ,S,)o will give an idea of the scope of a year's 
 work :— - The Montreal haiboiir permanent exhibi- 
 tions at Montreal, level of the river, early closing 
 of retail stores, winter navigation, bridge across the 
 St I .awrence, free navigation in the St. Lawrence 
 canals, leather inspection, .Montreal street car

 Montreal street paving, street widening, salaries of 
 civic employees, .ind many other (piestions of great 
 imiiortanc-e, some to Montreal alone, and some to 
 the general interest of the whole business wcild of 
 Canada. The 11 lard has most commodious and

 neit ettahlishcd by Th'imcK |. (ireene in l8j2 has |>rnwn 
 tu proportions far (greater, doubtless, than the founder ever 
 dreamed. He was the father of the present proprietors, 
 who are now a joint stock company and are known to the 
 business world thmu^'hout Canada as the Creene <Sr* Sons 
 Company. The paiil up capital of the company it a quar- 
 ter ofa million. Their immense premiws comprise three 
 four story buildings with an area of 90x130 feet, extending 
 from 515 to 5^5 St. ra<-l »lreet, tteildes a commodious fac- 
 tory nn .St. (isbriel locks. About 150 personi are em- 
 ploye<l. Of the<e ab'iut 25 or 30 are employed in the fac- 
 tory at St. Cabriel, where the tirm manufacture felt hats. 
 In the St I'aul street houie they manufacture all their 
 furs, the material lieiny imported from the (German, Rus- 
 sian, ('anadian and A'lstratian market*. < Uher furs are 
 there in abundance and great variety, for this is one of 
 Canada's leading fur houses. The famous Hehring Sea 
 seal, the cause of so much wise controversy, is largely re- 
 presented. The lurs are hung in cabinets against the 
 walls, with sliding doors so arranged that the goods can be 
 easily displayed fur inspection, while at othtr times they 
 are protected from the light and from dust ; which lor con- 
 venience and practical advantage could hardly be improved. 
 The stock of raw and manufactured furs is so extensive and 
 varied that every ta»te may be suited. Of hats the firm 
 carry un the third and fourth floors an immense stock, for 
 in addition to their own make they carry a full line of Kng 
 lish and American gotds. The stock of gentlemens' furiiith- 
 ings occupies also a very large space and is complete in 
 every d>!tail. The manufactured fur goods include every- 
 thing from the costly seal jicket to the Bulgarian coat, and 
 from the smallest to the largest article of dress in this line. 
 On the fifth floor, operatives are found at work manufac- 
 turing sleigh roties in great variety. Oa the first floor, 
 besides the cffices there is a very large packing room and 
 also a sample room that is a model of neatness and con- 
 venience. In this latter rooui is to be found one sample of 
 each kind of goods carried. The arrangement for the 
 hats is unsurpassed for practical convenience combined 
 with care of the gooiU. There are a series of cabinets with 
 roll tops like writing desks. The top rolls ba:k and dis- 
 
 play the samples on racks rising one abive the other. 
 When the inspection is over the tnpt are closed down and the 
 goods are protected from the light ana from the possibility 
 of being knocked about. There is no opening of boxes or 
 fumbling after samples— they are placed before the visitor 
 in a moment. Thii principle of neatness and convenience 
 runs throughout the establishment. An elevator and all 
 other needful facilities for business are provided. The 
 volume of trade is necessarily very large. The 
 company'^ goods are sold by travellers in every part of 
 Canada from Cape llreton to N'ancouver. After an exis 
 tcncc of over half a century, and with a reputation that is 
 high in rank as it is nitional in extent, this splendidly 
 equipped and admirably conducted establishment is to- 
 day representative of what is best in Canadian enterprise 
 and Canadian ability and progress. 
 
 (jAI LT ItROs, J-' Co., Importers of Fancy and Staple 
 Ory (ioods and Dealers in Canadian Manufactures, corner 
 of St. Helen and Kecollet street —No Canadian dry goods 
 house is more widely and favourably known than that of 
 Oault Dros. iV" Co. Their long establishment, their busi 
 ness energy and success, and the immense vilum; of their 
 present trade are features ofa record which not they alone 
 but the commercial centre to whose development they have 
 so latgely contributed may well regard with pride and sat 
 isfaction. Had their success l>een owing to what is termed 
 sharp dealing, the fact would detract from their merits, 
 but their record has bsen as honourab'e as it has been suc- 
 cessful. Away back in 1854, or almost halfacentury ago, 
 the business of this firm was establisheil. The city has had 
 a wonderful development since then, due to the tireless 
 energy and keen foresight of her merchants. The house ot 
 Ciault llrof. tS-^ Co. has kept pace with the advance, ami 
 every effort to promote the city's trade, increase her facili 
 ties and improve the means of communication with mar- 
 kets or wiih sources of supply has had the firm's approval 
 and inlluential aid. They are therefore representative of 
 what is most progressive as well at what is reputable and 
 substantial in the trade of Montreal. Their business pre- 
 mises are located in a splendid stone building at the cor- 
 ner of St. Helen and Recnilet street, a situation admirably 
 suited for the purposes o' trade. The ex'ent of the build- 
 ing may be gathered from the fact that it afl'ords no less 
 
 than 45.000 superficial feel of flior spice. It is fittetl wi'h 
 elevators and every convenience for the easy tran«actiin of 
 an immense business. Its rooms are well lighted and the 
 arrangement of giK>ds in the various departments is as 
 completely attractive and convenient as good taste and long 
 experience can provide To attempt an eniimeraUon of the 
 various linesof gooltctrried in stock is unnecessary. There 
 is nothing in the lire of staple or fancy dry giods which is 
 not found there or which the firm cannit place before ttieir 
 pitrons at the shortest notice. 'ITiey are direct importers 
 of Hritish and foreign dry goods, and their long established 
 c nnection with the leading markets of the world, their 
 long experience, their enterprise and their high reputation 
 are an ample guirantee that whatever is new in style or make 
 as well as whatever is excellent in c^iality will com? within 
 the range of their kn'twiedge anil be placed promptly before 
 their cust<^mers. They do their own buying and do it with 
 a thorough knowledge of, as well as a careful consideration 
 for the needs of the Canadian market. The immense 
 volume of their trade enables thsm to mark their gootls 
 down to a very slight mari;in of profit and offer to the trade 
 the most advantageous term*. That they not only aim to 
 do business but succeed in the most emphatic manner it 
 shown by the f 'Ct that though their trade is purely whole- 
 sale the services of 80 employes is necessary to meet the 
 demands upon their stock. The work of sorting up is 
 always in progress and every department is kept up to the 
 standard both in ijuantity and ()uaUty by constant importa- 
 tions. No finer array of fancy dry g>ods, includi''g the 
 most rare and costly fabrics, can be found in Montreal. 
 A very extensive trade is done in cottons and wjoUens. 
 The finest grades of foreign woollens are imported and to 
 these is adde<t a complete assortment of Canadian goods in 
 the same line. A specialty is made of these and of Cana- 
 dian cottons. The firm are prominently identified with the 
 great cotton industry of Canada, and are members of the 
 recently organized Dominion Cotton Co., which it is confi- 
 dently hoped will plac* this important industry on a l>etter 
 financial basis than ever in the past. The trade ofOautt Mros. 
 A* Co. extends throughout Canada, from ocean to ocean 
 No less than fifteen travellers are employed, a fact that in 
 dicates with what energy the house is pushing its business' 
 It is not necessary to go into further detail regarding th- 
 alTairs of this firm. The facts place them at once in th^ 
 foremost rank of Canadian mercantile establishments. Th^ 
 members of the firm are A. F. (iiult, K. L. Oiult, K. S. W« 
 Macdougall and I.. H. (ault. They are all members o* 
 the Itoard of Trade, and men whose influence has always' 
 been directed to the promotion of the trade interests o 
 their city and of the Dominion.

 Wariien KiNi.tS- Son, Craig Street Koumliy, Mont-

 (ice, 32 I'ront street West, Toronto. — The Crai({ Street 
 Foundry had its twginning in the old St. Mary 1-oundry, 
 formerly owned and carried on by the late Hon. Thomas 
 Molson, when he retired from hasiness in 1H52. The lease 
 ol the foundry, and the stuck of patterru and materials 
 were bought In by the late (ieorge Koger^^ and Warden 
 King, both of whom were for several years workmen, the 
 
 KKSII>HNCi:.»)F WAKDKN KIHG. HS(J. 
 
 one as foreman and the other as moulder in the same 
 
 foundry. The new firm of Rogers iSr' King was continued 
 until i8;o when Mr Rogers retired, taking with him his en- 
 tire interest in the business, which retained the old name 
 until July 1S88, when Mr. James Cochrane King, only son 
 of Mr. Warden King, was admitted as a partner, at which 
 time it was changed to its present name and style. When 
 the tease ot the St. Mary foundry expired about the year 
 1 855, '.the preMnt foundry property was aci|uireu by Mr. 
 
 King personally, and in the earlier years of its history as a 
 foundry, the trade mostly carried .n was builders' sup 
 plies, cen^etery railings, potash kettles and sugar coolers, lor 
 several years the potash kettle trade of the province was 
 almost entirely in their hands, and thus the name of Ro|jers 
 ■.V King became widely known. After the Inpse of the 
 kettle trade they turned their attention in other directions 
 and began the manufacture by hand of soil pipes and tit- 
 tings, and subsetiuently of steam fittings. Finally they 
 tiirned their attention to the manufacture of Spence's Hot 
 Water Heaters, of which system of heating they were the 
 pioneers in Canada. The "I'aisy" Boiler, which they are 
 now manufacturing, is the fourth in succession, and the first 
 in quality and results, which they have introduced. The 
 success of this heater in all parts of the Oominion and the 
 I'nited States has been abnormnl. It has taken tirst rank 
 overall competitors, its latest victory being in a com- 
 petition where the Iwst boilers of American and Canadian 
 manufacture were tested and the Daisy took the lir»t 
 prise. The competition referred to was the Massachusetts 
 Mechanics' Charitable Association, having on its board of 
 judges three of the best known healing engineers in New 
 Kngland, and at which were exhibited the Curney, Florida, 
 Thayer, Harber, I'urman and many other hut water boilers 
 —the "Daisy" receiving the medal, the highest a«ard in 
 the class, and not given to any other exhibit in the class, 
 as attested by James M. Riley, chairman. Judges, (iroup 
 K. The system of heating houses by hot water may l)e 
 said to be largely the result of their experiments. F.very 
 boiler which they have introduced has taken front rank 
 and first pri^e in every exhibition, and this position the 
 "Daisy" still retains. It has Iteconie a household word 
 from the Atlantic to the I'.icilic, over the entire continent 
 of North America where beat is a necessity in winter time. 
 Hesides the staple manufactures of boilers, sleamfiltings 
 and soil pipe and fittings the lirm of Warden King ^^ 
 Son also do a large business in plumbers' and builders' 
 supplies. The Kongue I'ointe Asylum for the Insane is 
 heated with 14 No. 8 1 'aisy boilers and rests upon columns 
 manufactured by this firm ; and this is only one out of the 
 many large and small buildings, public and private, v here 
 the iron work used in the construction was manufactured in 
 their foundry. It is needless to say that the lirm of Warden 
 King c" Son has a reputation in Canada second to none, 
 both for the quality of the work produced, and for their 
 financial standing and probity. They employ none but the 
 best workmen of their riass, and permit nothing but the 
 best workmanship and material to leave their premises.

 This is a branch of tlie Nonotuck Silk Co. of the United 
 States, the ohlest established silk thread industry on this 
 continent. The Nonotuck company has been engaged 
 since 1858 upwards of 52 yeari^-in the manufacture and 
 sale of Corlicelli silks, hence no silk is so well known or 
 e<iuala the reputation jf that of the Corticelli. The Corti- 
 celli Silk Company has a factory in the neighbouring town 
 of St. Johns, <,>ue., and an oflice and wareroomsin this city, 
 and since its dt but in 18S9, it has already acquired a repu- 
 tation in Canada, similar to that which the parent estab- 
 lishment has so long maintained in the I'nited States, i.e. 
 that Corticelli silks are unequalled. In the manufacture 
 of the&e silks only the best raw material is used, and infinite 
 care is taken and the most minute details properly attended 
 to. Incons-.iuence, after once trying and using Corticelli 
 silk, you want no other. In addition to this high reputation 
 for sewing silk and twist, the Corticelli Company are ac- 
 quiring a similar repute for the unrivalled range and quali- 
 ty of other wares, being also the only dealer? in the famous 
 
 fast colour art^silks made by the Hrainerd C-" Armstrong 
 Co. These goods are exclusively used by all tiv art 
 societies in both the I'nited Sutes and Canada, and are 
 sold by all first class stores. In silk and mohair braids for 
 the best merchant tailor trade, and the popular Corticelli 
 roll braid, they are likewise catering to that pi>nion of the 
 public that demand only first class goods. The roll braid 
 is new to the Canadian trade, but is extensively used and is 
 extremely popular in the United Sutes, and it is worthy 
 of mention that thifi is the old dress or ^Vitt braid put up in a 
 new and attractive shape. Three yards are wound on a 
 spool and this amount is found to be just suffictent for a 
 lady's dress. Silk lining, mervellieux, levantines and 
 serges are also handled by the Corticelli Company. We 
 give a cut of the factory in St. Johns, also a small repre- 
 sentation of the eleven factories in thie United States. The 
 office and wareroom in Montreal is in the Nordheimer Hatld- 
 ing, St. James street, asshownin theillustration on another

 ESTABLISHMENT OF THOMAS SONNB. 
 
 Owen McGarvey C" Son, Wholesale and Retail Manu- 
 facturerB of and Dealers in I'lain and Fancy lurniture, 1849 
 to 1853 Notre Dame street, and 230 McGill street, Montreal. 
 This popular house has been actively engaged in the 
 manufacture of furniture since 1843, >" which year Mr, 
 Owen McGarvey established himsell in business, laying the 
 foundation of what is now known as one of the finest fur- 
 niture houses in the Dominion. Whilst so many other 
 firms in this line have been lets fortunate, success has fol- 
 lowed him in all his operations. The premises occupied 
 comprise a large six story building, 601100 feet, which is 
 largely used for show rooms. The entire establishment is 
 a model one, neatness and order prevailing everywhere, 
 all available space being taken up to accommodate the 
 enormous stock which they carry, a-d from which purchas- 
 ers can select to advantage, as their stock is classified, each 
 department being complete in itself. Their passenger ele- 
 vator is constantly in operation, and \nll be found not only 
 a great convenience, but a positive luxury in its way, to convey 
 their customers to the various fiats ol this mammoth estab- 
 lishment. Havifigto vacate their present premises in May for 
 rebuilding purposes, owing to street widening, they will open 
 up in September next, after their removal back into their 
 new stores on Notre Dame street, (a cut of which 
 we give on another page) which will be one of 
 the finest in the city, as they are not using any 
 of the present material, but putting in an entire- 
 ly new front, using British plate glass throughout. 
 This firm enjoys the highest reputation in Canada for 
 their reliability, cheapness, excellence of design and work- 
 manship; and at the request and expense of the Cana- 
 dian Government, Messrs. Owen Mc(iarvey &* Son for- 
 warded a large exhibit to the Antwerp exhibition (i 886), 
 for which they received two bronze medals and diplomas, 
 and a silver medal and diploma for their upholstery ex- 
 hibit, part of which was of original design. This exhibit 
 was afterwards placed in the Colonial and Indian exhibition, 
 I^ndon, England, still at the government expense. One 
 result of this was that the firm received a commemorative 
 medal and diploma for their very large and fine display of fur- 
 niture. Speaking ofthisdisplay, theart critic of the London 
 Cabinet Milker (iHii Art Fill Htsfitr (Nov, ist 1 886) which 
 is the highest authority in England in this line ot business, 
 says, "The Empire may well be proud of the fine Canadian 
 exhibit, but unfortunately the furniture of these haidy colo- 
 nists is too much affected by the American style to com- 
 mand the admiration of the artistic. The proximity of such 
 baneful influences has undoubtedly swayed the otherwise 
 good work of the Canadian manufacturers. It is, how- 
 ever, fair to say that in many cases the goods which are 
 shown are free from such blemishes, notably those exhibi- 
 ted by Messrs, Owen McGarvey &* Son of Montreal. 
 The chair and table here figured, (referring to illustrations 
 of these articles) are unique seleoions from the exhibit of 
 this firm, and the designs will speak for themselves." 
 They have been awarded medals, diplomas and other 
 <listinctlve recognitions from the Paris, Belgium, and the 
 late Indian and Colonial exhibitions, as well as from all 
 
 the Dominion exhibitions, where they have exhibited. 
 As manufacturers and dealers in furniture, they have 
 placed upon the market some of the finest drawing room, 
 parlor, dining and library suites, as well as the finer grades 
 of bedroom furniture, in which line they make a specialty 
 and will when opened out in their new stores, in ffeptembcr 
 next, show a stock of finest quality new style goods in keep- 
 ing with their new stores, and the increasing demand for 
 such class of goods. It is welt known that Mr. Mc- 
 Garvey has never resorted to any exaggerated advertising, 
 employed any outside salesman nor canvassing agents. 
 His numerous customers have always received the most re- 
 spectful personal attention to the reqiirements of all visit- 
 ing his establishment, lie ioheri's all the well known 
 proverbial straightforward qualities of a North of Ireland 
 business man, studiously avoiding any publicity as a pro- 
 minent citizen of Montreal, and declining many honours 
 which he has been requested to accept. Whi : he docs as 
 a philanthropist, is done quietly and unostenta iously, and 
 whilst attending strictly 10 his own busine; 1, has nut 
 neglected to identify himself with any worthy f- '^ject or in- 
 stitution. He has been for many years a life governor of 
 the Montreal General Hospital, a life governor and vice- 
 president ot the Notre Dame Hospital, a director and vice- 
 president of the Mutual Kire Insurance Co. of 
 Montreal, i. director of St. Patrick's Orphan Asylum, 
 a member both of the Board of Trade and Art As- 
 sociation, and vice president of St. Patrick's Tem- 
 perance Society for many years, being well known 
 as a staunch teetotaller and an earnest advocate of 
 the temperance cause during the last 40 years. The firm- 
 ly established reputation of this well-known house is a suf- 
 ficient guarantee that outside show is only the last thing 
 aimed at, and that stability and good value for money are 
 to be found in the old established firm of Messrs. Owen 
 McGarvey ^^ Son, 1849, '^S^ ^^^ ^^53 Notre Dame 
 street, and 230 Mctiill street, Montreal. 
 
 BouRc.ouiN, DucnESNEAU 6* Co., Importers of and 
 Wholesale Dealers in Dry Goods. Fancy Goods and Small 
 Wares, 301 St. Paul and 19 St. Jean Hapttste street, 
 Montreal. — The well known dry goods firm of Bourgouin, 
 Dachesneau (Sh Co., which was established nine years ago 
 is one of the best known of the firms that confine their 
 business to the Province of (Quebec. The trade of th<s 
 house has steadily increased since the date of its establish- 
 ment and is still increasing in volume year by year. The 
 provincial market is already growing too small for the oper- 
 ations of this enterprising firm. The premises occupied, 
 comprise five flats in a handsome building, 60133 feet in 
 dimensions. So extensive is the volume of trade thtt 20 
 persons are constantly employed. The business is strictly 
 wholesale. The firm are dealers in dry goods, fancy goods 
 and small wares, a specialty being made of the latter. 
 The goods are imported direct from England, France, 
 Germany and the United States, and the stock is being con- 
 stantly replenished by fresh importations. The stock of 
 dry goods is complete In every department of plain and 
 
 faacy goods, while the extent and variety of the small 
 wares displayed is almost beyond bslief. The sales and 
 sample rooms are arranged in the most convenient and 
 artistic manner, so that purchasers may have no difficulty 
 in selecting goods. The firm send their goods to all parts 
 of Quebec province, having travellers constantly on the 
 road. The house has a high reputation among provincial 
 dealers, earned by conscientious and straightforward deal- 
 ing and a coostaat consideration for the needs and circum- 
 stances of customers. The members of the firm are Geo. 
 Bourgouin, O^t. B3urgouin and Joseph Dachesneau. The 
 first and last named gentlemen are members of the Board 
 of Trade and justices of the peace, and arc well known in 
 connection with all public matters relating to the trade and 
 commerce as well as the general welfare of the city. 
 
 Tiiu^. Sonne, Ship Chandler and Sail Maker, manu- 
 lactnrer of tarpaulins, tents and awnings, horse and wag- 
 gon covers, 187 c^ 189 Commissioners street. — The busi- 
 ness of manufacturing awnings, tents, sails, caavas goods 
 and marine supplies is not as extensive as the requirements 
 of this line demands, and it is only those who have 
 visited the extensive premises of Mr. Thomas Sonne can 
 understand how this old and reliable establishment has 
 kept out competitors. Apai t from his affable and 
 genial disposition, for he is popular with every man, 
 Mr. Sonne makes it a point to turn out first- 
 class goods, and superintends himself and examines 
 every article before it leaves his establishment. The 
 sewing and binding department is a marvel of precii* 
 ion and exactness, and the awnings and tents turned out by 
 him are like a coat without seams. Mr. Sonne uses no 
 homespun, cheap and threadbare canvas, but imports di- 
 rect from England and Scotland, His business is not con- 
 fined to a local trade alone, but is spread all over the Do- 
 minion of Canada. Ttie awnings and tents are made on 
 ma t hematical mles, and sized from the best drawings. 
 There is hardly an old sailor who visits this port but goes 
 to Mr. Sonne's establishment, and it is well-known among 
 them that anything turned out by this house requires no 
 inspection, llie building occupied by Mr. Sonne for his 
 business consists of five flats, having an area of 40x100 feet 
 each. For over 23 years he has been actively engaged in 
 the mannfactare of the various canvas goods, so greatly 
 needed in a city like Montreal. Employment is given to 
 fourteen experienced operatives. A portion of the building 
 is devoted to the work of making up tents, sails, etc., and 
 is equipped with all the necessary macb'iery required for 
 this branch of the business. Mr. Sonne has built up a con- 
 nection of great extent, shipping finished goods to all parts 
 of the Dominion. Since 1865, the year in which he com- 
 menced business, his success has steadily increased. He 
 has given every attention to the work, personally super- 
 vising each department. He is an esteemed member of the 
 Board of Trade of Montreal, with which he has been con- 
 nected for many years. Mr. Sonne is much respected in 
 commercial and social spheres for his straightforward deal- 
 ing and unswerving honesty.

 KSTABLISHMKNT OP D. MORRICR, SONS & CO. 
 
 Son, or London and Manchester, the largest dry goods 
 house in the world. Here are a few of the lines of uoods 
 handled : Cottons, shirtings, hags, sheeting", prints, drills, 
 checks, ginghams, ticks, denims, fancy shirtings, medium 
 and coarse tweeds, etofles, blankets, horse blankets, saddle 
 felt, glove linings, grey and fancy flannels in all-wool and 
 unicn, ladies' dress flannels, merges, yarns, knitted under- 
 wear of every dencription, cardigan jackets, mitts and 
 gloves, tme mohair and dress braids, llamas, corset laces, 
 carpet rugs, etc. Their business is purely to supply the 
 wholesale trade, and their gootls are sold in rvery section of 
 the broad Domirion. No business establishment in Canada 
 stands higher in the confidence of the trade in general. Krom 
 this establishment as a centre radiates a trade which forms 
 no inconsiderable portion of the traffic that keeps the 
 wheels revolving over every line of railway in the various 
 provinces of the Dominion, Of the memliers of the firm 
 little need be said in praise of their ability, the evidence of 
 which is shown in its results. Personally, they are 
 held in high esteem in business and social circles, Mr. 
 David Morrice, ^r., in addition to his other business, is a 
 director of various important cor[^oration!<, and has been 
 for years a leading factor in the development of the trade and 
 industries of Montreal. He is a tireless advocate of pro- 
 gressive measures and enterprises for the further growth of 
 the commercial importance of the Dominion. Mr, Morrice 
 is a director of the Springhill iH" Cumberland Coal Co. 
 He is recognized as one of the most generous hearted of 
 Montreal's many philanthropic citizens. His voice and 
 purse are ever at the service of worthy purposes of bene- 
 volence, and many persons and causes have bet^n the 
 grateful subjects of his beneficent regard. His gift of the 
 Convocation Hall to the Presbyterian College may l>e cited 
 as a single instance. His sons are not less generous and 
 kindly, and the firm of I). Morrice, Sons iS^ Co. is one 
 which the commercial metropolis of Canada may well 
 regard with pride. 
 
 CnAs. U. PR(K TOR, Hop Merchant, Dealer in Itarley 
 and Malt, 34 l^moine ftreet— Montreal being the metro- 
 polis of Canada, is naturally the point to which all the 
 products of the Dominion, whether they are minerals, 
 cereals or vegetables.come for manufacture or redistribution. 
 Many firms and individuals are actively engaged in the city 
 of Montreal in the buying and selling of these prcducts. 
 Among the more prominent Mr. C. D. Proctor m»y be 
 mentioned. His business, established in the year 1841, is 
 one of the oldest in tf-e city, and has successfully passed 
 thrrugh the trials that have come upon the commercial 
 community in this portion of the country. His specialty 
 is the buying and selling of hops, barley, malt, etc. He 
 handles hops both of Canadian and foreign growth. 
 l*he barley is raised in Ontario, l>eing used 
 to a certain extent in Canada, although a large por- 
 tion of it goes to the United Stales. Mr. Proctor has 
 by strict attention, coupletl with a thorough knowledge of 
 the market-s, been enabled to buy and sell to the advan- 
 tage of himself and customers, liis trade is large and ex- 
 tends throughout the country, the quality of the mateiial 
 sold by him being known to be first-class. Mr. Proctor 
 owns a fine residence on Slierbrooke street, popularly 
 known as " HIink Honny House." This building is one of 
 the best in the residential portion of the town, and has 
 been intimately connected with Montreal's past history. 
 Mr. Proctor is a member of the Hoard of Trade and is well 
 known as an upright, square -dealing business man. 
 
 1). MoRRui, SoN'^A'Co., Manufacturers' Agents and 
 Central Merchants, Montreal and Toronto, are the most 
 extensive commission house in Canada, a fact that 
 indicates foresight, energy and business ability of 
 the highest order in those by whom the title and 
 the honour have been earned and held. The 
 foundation of the immense business carried on by D. 
 Morrice, Sons ^S-* Co. was laid in 1863 by the present senior 
 partner, Mr. David Morrice. With rare ability he guided 
 the fortunes nf his house along the line of increa«ing pros- 
 perity as the years went by, until there was no portion of 
 the business world of Canada and Kngland where his name 
 was not known and respected, and his house quoted as a 
 leading one in all that its transactions covered. With the 
 extension of business connections spread also the high repu- 
 tation for integrity which this house holds to day, and 
 which is the strongest personal characteristic of its honoured 
 founder, |n 1883 Mr. Morrice organised the present firm 
 admitting to partnership with him, under the present firm 
 name, his sons, David, jr., and W. J. Morrice. both of 
 whom had already given the strongest evidence of the pos- 
 session of those business faculties and personal quiHties 
 which are essential to success in the arena of commercial 
 life. The headquarters of the establishment are and have 
 l>een in Montreal, but there is a very important branch in 
 Toronto. The Montieal house is located at 1875 I*»ot'^e 
 Dame street, that splendid thoronghfare along which lie so 
 many great and flourishing establishments. The firm are now 
 best known as the general agents for the Dominion Cotton 
 Mills Co., which controls the 1 lochelaga, St. Ann's, Magog, 
 Kingston, Mrantford, Moncton, Wintnov, Coaticiok, Hali- 
 fax, and the St. Croix Cotton Mill at Milltown, also the 
 following woollen mills : Globe Woollen Mills Co., Mont-

 BOOT i SHOB FACTORY OF AMES, HOLDBN & CO. 
 
 The manufacture of Iwots ami shoes has long been one 
 of the leading industries of the city of Montreal. In the 
 front rank among the business houses engaged in it, the 
 firm of Ames, IloKtcn ^ Co. takes its rightful position as 
 the pioneer shoe house of the Dominion, while for fair deal- 
 ing and general excellence in workmanship, as well as for 
 the tit and durability of its manufactured product, it stands 
 second to none. There is a branch house in Winnipeg and 
 one in Victoria, the latter Itetng also largely engaged in 
 manufacturing. This firm, with its two factories, can thus 
 produce goods suitable to the trade of every section of our 
 country. 
 
 Their Montreal establishment, in the very heart of the 
 city, fronting Victoria Square, at the corner o( Jurorsstreet, 
 occupies nearly hall a lOock, and stands, including the 
 
 component parts are stitched together, to form what is 
 known in shoe parlance as the ** upper," — that is to say, 
 a shoe without the sole. Here we find nearly 100 female 
 operators, each with her special work and machine. Here, 
 too, everything is bright and cheery, with light from three 
 sides and also from sky-Hghts in the root. The number 
 and variety of the machines in this room is very great, and 
 it is being constantly added to; many of them are of very 
 recent invention, and are known to but few of the factories 
 in Canada. After the *' uppers" are completed they are 
 carefully assorted as to sizes and tied up into bundles, each 
 bundle with its case ticket to show exactly in v/hat way it 
 is intended that they should be made up. They are now 
 ready to go below and be joined by the soles. 
 
 As we pass from each tloor to the next we notice on 
 the landing a hose attached to a 4 inch water supply, ready 
 for instant use in case of lire, In fact, nothing strikes us 
 
 of work desired. The (ioodyear machine, for example, 
 sews on welt and outaole, and produces a veritable hand- 
 sewn boot, doing in a day the work ol twenty cobblers of 
 *' ye olden time." When the shoe leaves this room it is 
 virtually a completed boot, though somewhat rough in 
 exterior and minus the heel. To remedy these defects is 
 the endeavour of the fifty or more men that are employed 
 in the corresponding room lying just below, "^n 
 
 This room {see cut 7) is known as the Finishing Room. 
 A continuous row of interesting machines are all along the 
 frontage on the north side, beneath one row or shafting. 
 Passing in order from one to another, the boot in turn 
 submits to the process of heeling, heel trimming, edge 
 trimming, heel burnishing, edge burnishing, sanding and 
 bufVing. Each of these processes employs a machine that 
 is a marvel of ingenuity and mechanical skill, but space 
 forbids our describing or even technically enumerating 
 
 basement, live storeys in height. I^t us, by way of com- 
 mentary upon the subjoined cuts, take a trip through 
 the various departments, following an imaginary piece of 
 fine boot wear from its inception to its completion, from 
 its existence as a mere idea in the brain of the originator 
 to its reality as a complete and saleable product. 
 
 Approaching the factory, one is at once impressed by the 
 busy hum of machinery and the signs of unmistakeable ac- 
 tivity. Over three hundred persons are employed by Messrs. 
 Ames, llolden d^ Co. in this building alone, and its daily 
 output numbers more than 1,000 pairs. 
 
 We enter by the oflice entrance into the wain wareroom 
 (shown in cut 10). All along the front of this floor, look- 
 ing out upon the sijuare, is a line of otlices and sample 
 rooms ; a scanty glimpse may lie seen in cut of the head 
 oflice, which is connected by the Mortin telephone system 
 with every department throughout the building. No shoe 
 can be cut except on orders from, and in accordi.nce with 
 
 more forcibly, in our journey through the building, than 
 the excellent sanitary arrangements and the thoughtful 
 precautions that have been everywhere taken to further 
 the comfort and safety of the employes. 
 
 Reaching the Stock Room (cut 3), as the sole leather 
 department is called, we find the heaviest and most power- 
 ful machinery. The sole leather comes into this room in 
 rolls as heavy as a man can handle, and, after careful ins* 
 pection, the "sides" are "stripped" or cut into long 
 pieces of diH'erent widths. After all that is suitable for out- 
 soles has been taken out, the balance is cut up for insoles, 
 clamps or counters, and the residue finally worked up into 
 heels. The success of a shoe factory lies very largely in 
 the economical use of its sole leather, and very expensive 
 machinery is employed to enable manufacturers to utilize 
 even the smallest fragments. The cut we present (No. 5) 
 does not give an adequate idea of the size or work of this 
 room, owing to the piles of sole leather and the rows of 
 
 them. Hand work is again employed to burnish the shanks 
 and give the sole a finished appearance, the last is with- 
 drawn, the size, width and name of the firm stamped on 
 the bottom and the shoe, if it be of a leather that does not 
 require artificial dressing, emerges from this room a tinishe<l 
 article, but many so-called ** black leathers," not having a 
 glazed surface, such as buff, kip, calf.'cordovan, kangaroo, 
 etc., require to be shaped and dressed in order to obtain 
 the smooth, soft, lu'itrous appearance so much prized. To 
 secure this a special department exists under the name of 
 the Treeing Room (see cut 8), so called from the "tree" or 
 wooden foot upon which the shoe is drawn while being 
 dressed. 
 
 Illustration 9 shows the Stock and Packing Room, where 
 orders are put up and the more valuable grades of fine 
 work stored. Want of space prevents our showing three 
 other large store rooms filled with the raw material or 
 made up goods. Lack of space also necessarily excludes 
 
 full written instructions emanating from this office. 
 
 We wilt first introduce our reader to the Cutting Room, 
 (cut 3) that is on the highest floor of the building. This 
 spacious apartment has windows in front and rear, and is 
 lighted as well by four enormous skylights. Here every 
 skin of leather is inspected, measured and sorted by an 
 experienced foreman, and everything not wholly satisfactory 
 rejected at the outset. Plenty of light means excellence 
 on the part of individual cutters when working up the stock, 
 as any imperfection in the skin, however slight, cannot 
 escape detection. Here between forty and fifty cutters 
 find steady employment. 
 
 We next enter the Kitting room (see cut 4), where the 
 
 racki and shelves that are necessary to hold the prepared 
 sole and heel stock, dies, etc. 
 
 The Bottoming Room (cut 6) next claims our attention. 
 It is here that the uppers and soles are joined together in 
 a union that it takes many months of hard wear to break 
 asundev. This room is 100x40 feet, and there will be found 
 at work in in it about 75 men and boys. Here the shoes 
 are lasted, that is, drawn over wooden forms of the shape 
 and measurement of the human foot that the shoe is 
 intended to fit. The work here becomes differentiated into 
 classes such as hand-sewn, Goodyear welts, machine sewn, 
 turned, nailed and pegged. Here are found the machines 
 for fastening sole and upper together according to the class 
 
 views of the varnishing and dressing, cleaning and cartoon- 
 ing. These processes t^ive employment to a dozen girls, 
 having over them an experienced foreman, who personally 
 inspects every pair of shoes before it can be permitted to 
 leave the building as ready for the consumer. 
 
 It has been impossible to do either the subject of shoe 
 manufacturing or the extensive factory of Messrs. Ames, 
 Holden &* Co. any sort of justice in the few lines ot 
 explanation allowed between the cuts. But Messrs. Ames, 
 Holden &* Co, have no tnde secrets and on the contrary, 
 we know it always gives them the greatest pleasure to 
 show visiting friends through their factory, of which they 
 and their city are justly proud.

 ly in iron and steel in various forms and stages of manu- 
 facture, tinplates, etc. This house represent as well, large 
 firms in (ireat Hritiin who make the manufacture of 
 chemicals their business. That these large corporations 
 entrust their Canadian business to Messrs. Winn (Eh Hol- 
 land is ample proof that the latter are enterprising and have a 
 large number of business friends, who, finding that they 
 are enabled to buy through them cheaper than from the 
 manufacturers themselves, entrust to them a large share of 
 their orders. This firm is one of the oldest in the city, and 
 has since its inception been carried on with an ever in- 
 creasing trade, Messrs. Winn &^ Holland from their long 
 experience and knowledge of the importing trade, are able

 customers all the information they may desire. The members 
 of the firm, Messrs. J. H. Winn and Philip H. Holland, 
 are well and favourably known in the commercial world by

 Groceries, etc., 270 &* 274 St. Paul street, and 1 13 *5^' 115 
 Commissioners street. — Montreal can boast of a very large 
 number of long established business houses. The tirm of 
 N. Quintal ^ F'ils was founded in 18^1 by Mr. N. Quin- 
 tal, who took his son into partnership in 1881. Thus this 
 establishment has been in operation for 40 year*. It is 
 well known throughout the whole extent ol the Province 
 of (Quebec, and its proprietors are held in great esteem. 
 Mr. N. Quintal, the senior partner, still continues the 
 
 management, which he has carried out for so many years 
 and with so much success. Ilis son, Mr. J. F:. (^>uintal,ai 
 well as the father, is thoroughly posted in every portion of 
 the business, and is rapidly taking the more active work 
 upon his own shoulden. He represents the house on the 
 Hoard of Trade, the Chamber of Commerce and the Mont- 
 real Wholesale Grocers' Association. The extensive trade 
 carried on by Messrs. <.)uintal &* Fils has its headquarters 
 at 274 St. Paul street, where the ofl'ices are located and 
 the large importations received by them are carefully 
 stored. The basement of this building overlooks Com- 
 missioners street, with which it is on a level, and is used in 
 the work of shipping the orders to their numerous cus- 
 tomers. The interior of the building is divided into fire 
 tiats, each having an area of 45 by 85 feet. These floors 
 are all uwd for the storage of goods, and are very com- 
 modious, Iwing fitte<l up with every convenience to ex- 
 pedite the work of the house. Thirty-eight competent as- 
 sistants are constantly engageil during the whole year in 
 the various departments. Hesides these there are four 
 travellerr, who are continually cm routr, visiting the cus- 
 tomers of the firm in its interests. Some idea of the size 
 of the business may be gained by a visit to this house, 
 where they are extremely busy from morning till night. 
 Wines, liquors, teas, cotTees, sugars, cocoas, chocolates, 
 condiments, fancy and every other line of groceries are 
 found in the immense stock which th's house has always on 
 hand. They make a specialty of wines and liquors, and 
 the champagne*, ports, sherries, Madeiras and clarets are 
 all of the choicest vintages. The liquors are composed of 
 every kind of brandien, whiskies, gin, rum and liqueurs, 
 and are obtained direct from the best distillers. The coun- 
 tiies they impuit from in F^gland, Scotland, Ireland, 
 France, Spain, Italy. Sicily, Greece, Germany, Ho land, 
 China, Japan, the West Indies and the United States. 
 Some very fine brands of cigars are received by them from 
 Havana. Iteing direct importers, Me>srs. N. t^>uintal &' 
 Fils place on the market the \ery best goods that can Iw 
 procured. 
 
 K. A. SMAi.i-tSr' Co., Manufacturers of Clothing, Whole- 
 sate, 288 St. James street. -One ol the principal manufac- 
 tures of the city of Montreal is that of wholesale clothing. 
 Several immense concerns have been in active operation 
 fur many years. One of the largest, though not one of the 
 oldest is the well known house of Messrs. K. A. Small ^."^ 
 Co. They were founded in January 1 887, and have therefore 
 completed their fourth year in busineu. The extensive 
 premises known as the Albert Buildings on Victoria Square, 
 which they overlook, are occupied by this firm, and the ex- 
 tent of their business may be sarmised when we state that 
 this splendid cut stone stmcture has a frontage of 65 feet, 
 
 a depth of 95 feet and is six stories in height. The otTicea 
 are entered by the large doors placed in the centre of the 
 building on the firi^t floor. They are fitted up with every 
 modern conven-ence used in counting rooms. The shipping 
 department is located in the basement, which communi* 
 cates by a passage way for vehicles with Ihe level of St. 
 James street. On the upper llats of the building several 
 hundred sewing machines with the latest improvements are 
 in constant operation. The middle flats are used for the 
 storage of the enormous quantities of cloth and manufac- 
 tured goods constantly kept on hand to supply the de- 
 mandsof theircustomers. Fabrics of every kind, both domes- 
 tic and imported are used by this firm. Tweeds, cassimeres, 
 coatings, suitirgs, ttc, comprise the stock of material 
 used. The finished clothing, storetl in large quantities, 
 consists of coats, vests, panlF, overcoats and complete 
 suits, made in every size to fit men, youths and lioys. ihe 
 display in this department is very fine, being worth a visit 
 which would l>e well repaid. Lmployment is given to a 
 large nurolwr of hands who are dividetl among the differ- 
 ent departments, the majority bfing sewing machine oper- 
 atives, as well as several hundred in the surround- 
 ing districts who do their work at home, Messrs. 
 F^. A. Small •Sr' Co. are very extensive import- 
 ers ol the best classes of Fngliih, French and (jer- 
 man fabrics which are largely used in the manufacture ot 
 their goods. Thorough knowledge of both home and 
 foreign markets is essential to the success of the house, 
 and with these the principal of the firm is fully conver:.ant. 
 Their goods will always bt found to be of the best material 
 and finished In t'e latest styles. A full stafl of rxperienctd 
 cutters is constantly engaged in the cutting denartment, 
 and lor elegance. Iteauly of t>t>le and finish ihii Ir Ui^e has 
 no fupeti »r, and to this is d -ul)lless due their exceptional 
 success. The specialty of the firm is the children's depart- 
 ment, to which very great attention has i>ern g'ven. In 
 these goods atone, Messrs. F. A. SmaU s.'~ Co. have estab- 
 lished a reputation cxtenHini; over the whole nonunion. 
 The extremely varied assortment of the output of this house, 
 which includes all sizes, colours and styles enables the

 has grown with great rapidity, still continuing to increase 
 yearly, although it has alrrady attained enormous propor- 
 tions. Throughout the length and breadth of Canada, the 
 clothing firm of E. A. Small tS^' Co, bears an enviable re- 
 putation. Fleven travellers are continually <'» routf, cov-

 they have brought to bear toward the success and welfare 
 of their immense establishment.

 Thk Ini.rks Cot'TRi.1 iir S( hooi.h of I.ANCtfAUrs.— 
 All Montrealers, fiiendt of education, have been glad lo 
 hear that Messrs. Ingres and Coutellier have established a 
 branch of their schools in the metropolis of the Dominion. 
 It is hardly necessary to recall here the leading features of 
 an establishment so well known all over the country. 
 About four 'years ago, on the invitation of the Chief Super- 
 intendent of Education of New Brunswick, Messrs. Maxime 
 Ingres and (leo. Coutellier, then of New York, came to 
 l.'anada and established a school of modern languages in 
 St. John, N.B. It met with an unprecedented success, and 
 to-tlay the Infires-Coutellicr schools are in operation in 
 over twenty cities from llalilax to Winnipeg, and are being 
 established in others. This great success is due chiefly to 
 the excellency of the methoil employed, but aUo to the 
 clever ami business-like way the whole enterprise is man- 
 aged. Their method might be briefly described as follows : 
 Every language is composed of voiahultiry, i.e., the list of 
 words used, ami ^'mni>nai, ie,, the art of putting th-se 
 words properly together. They claim to teach both in the 
 shotted possible way. The vocabulary is taught as our 
 mothers taught us our own tongue, in other words without 
 the aid uf translation. By object teaching at first and 
 afterwards by means of definitions and through the context, 
 and in a thousand other ways famiiiar to their teachers, it 
 is proved every day that th* entire vocabulary of any lan- 
 guage can be taught without translation. That is the surest 
 way to make a pupil think in the lantruage studied and, if 
 after some Irssons a student in French »ees a hat, fjr in- 
 stance, he calls it at once *'chapeau" without thinking first 
 >>f the English word *' hat." Acquired in this way the 
 words become as familiar to the student as his own lan- 
 guage, and pres themselves deeply into the memory. A 
 jterson having learned a language in the Ingres Coutellier 
 schools will never find himself obliged to give the typical 
 answer to the i)uestion, " Do you si eak French or Oer- 
 man ?'* *' Well, I used to, but I have forgotten all about 
 it," or, *• No, but I read it.' Having heard the words, and 
 especially having used them in conversation, the pupils do 
 not forget what they have learned any more than we forget 
 a tune we have once known. And in order to help the 
 memory, as well an to teach the orthography, blackboards 
 at first, and readers afterwards are used ; thus the eye as 
 well as the ear is constantly drilled, but all the lessons 
 are given in the shape of conversation. Talking is an art 
 like walking. Would it come to the i.i'nd of a mother, 
 teaching her child to walk, to begin by tt'ling the little 
 one that there are such things ns p inciples of c(iuilibrium 
 based upon the law ol gravitation, etc ? Vet 'hose who 
 teach the theoriei of grammar before the language commit 
 as gieit and a more detrimental blunder, fur any c^iM is 
 bound to learn how to walk, while the student becomes 
 discouraged from the further study of a language on ac- 
 count of such theories, useless because anticipated. If the 
 student says "This is a book,' he applies half a dozen 
 rules of grammar, although not knowing maybe that these 
 rules exist. Through continuous drill in conversation the 
 
 pupils of the Ingret-Coutellier school study grammar m 
 praitue from the very beginning, and acquire >"hat the 
 Ciermans call '*Sprachgefilhl,"* the feeling in the Ian 
 guagr, the surest and most reliable of all hand books, ami this 
 can be aciiuired in no other way. As it is only after man 
 has reached a higher degree of development that he can 
 comprehend why, in walking, we can keep our cjuilibrium, 
 and why, in running, we take a dilTerent position, so it it 
 only after practically knowing the language to some extent 
 that the student really gets any benefit from the theoretical 
 study of grammar, and even that part of 'he instruction, aa 
 well as the study of literature, is carried on by conver* 
 sational lessons, in which the didactical intention is not 
 noticed by the student. It ii always borne in mind that in 
 the study of any foreign language the chief object is to 
 learn how to speak it. Thus the most arid subject can t>e 
 made interesting, and interest In a lesson is as necessary as 
 salt in food. Writing exercises is only of secondary im- 
 portance. Too much value is not given to the written 
 language to the detriment of the spoken one, and for 
 pupils who have any spare time, home study consists 
 chiefly in reading. The staff consists exclusively of native 
 teachers ; it is as impo«sible to an Englishman or Ameri- 
 can to teach French or German, even if h; is a good stholat\ 
 as it is to a Frenchman or (ierroan to teach English or 
 Chinese. To say nothing about the accent, there are 
 in every language thousands of little untranslatable expres- 
 sions which give to it its peculiar stamp, and which only a 
 native can teach with benefit to the pupil. Beside?, only a 
 native can have the entire conhdence ol the student, with- 
 out which confidence the lesson Insei its force. All the 
 teachcri are thoroughly educated and fully up to their deli* 
 cate mission. It is, indeed, not enough to employ a good 
 method, one mast know, t)eiide', how to use it. A good 
 method can be compared to a good piano ; with an artist 
 it renders sweet and divine music, whilst with a clumsy and 
 unskillul amat:ur the best Steinway produces but a dis* 
 agreeable or tiresome noise. In the Ingres-Couiellier 
 school we find the artist and the instrument. The instruc- 
 tion is an individual work between teacher and pupil, and, 
 therefore, given either privately or in classes not ex ceding 
 eight members. All the Ing res -Coutellier schools are 
 finacially as well as professionally under the same manage- 
 ment and therefore offer 1 1 the public exceptional guaran* 
 tees and advantages. I.?ssons appli'd for in one of the 
 branches may betaken in any other city where the Ingres- 
 Coutellier schools are established. Each pupil receives 
 instruction from a number of teachers, and thus becomes 
 familiar with different voices, which is a great advantage 
 to the ear. The Montreal branch of the Ingres-Coutellier 
 schools has been established since December last and has 
 already proved a decided success. It U under the manage- 
 ment uf Mr. Ingres himself, and occupies large and com* 
 modious quarters on St. James street, Nordheimer's Build* 
 ing. An up- town branch is to be opened soon for the 
 convenience ol west end residents.

 WARKHOrsK OF A. RAMSAY Si SON, 
 
 Geo. C. DeZouche t^* Sons, Importers of l\.pcr 
 Hangingi and Hall Decoratorf, 1715 Notre Dame street.— 
 There can be no better evidence of a (leople's progress and 
 prosperity than the improvement and embellishment of 
 their homes, and there is no branch of the mechanical arts 
 in which so much improvement has been made in recent 
 years as in the manufacture of artistic wall paper;:, the 
 hanfiing and dealing in which constitutes an important 
 branch of commercial activity. Among the more promin- 
 ent establishments in Montreal engaged in this line is that 
 of Messrs, Geo. C, I>f/ouchc <i" Sons, who are long ex- 
 perien'cd and thoroughly understand the bu*inrsi in all its 
 details. The enterpr se was founded by Mr. Geo. C. De 
 /.ouche in i86<i, and its whole history Is on" of wonderful 
 and eminently well deserved success. The premises oc 
 cupied are suitable and commodious, three spacious nat<:, 
 about 70x25 feet in dimensions l)eing utilized, affording 
 ample accomodation for the storuge and diitplay of stock 
 as well as the rapid prosecution of trade. There is always 
 on hand in this large establishment an immense and varied 
 stock of imported goo s in the line of Knglish, I'erchanl 
 American paperhangings and decorations in all ihe newest 
 styles, inc'uding Knglish lap^stry and fapanese designs in 
 rich, elegant, blight shades and tints and c'mbinaliuns of 
 colours, S'> arrargrd as to form the most pleasing cHect ; 
 also paints, oils, varnishes, glass, putty, brushes, etc. 
 Messrs. I)e/oache &' Sons make a special business of de- 
 corating i^e interior c>f buildings and dwellings, in which 
 they are expert artlf^ts and are unexcelled in the city. They 
 give emplo)ment to thirty five experienced hand?, who, 
 under their personal supervision, execute all kinds of 
 house and sign painting, gla/irg, pa|>erhanging, (<rainip^, 
 whitewashine and cokurirg. All f^ood^ sold by Messrs. 
 De /ouche tS" Sons are the best to be had in the market, 
 all w( rk done is strictly first class, and moderate prices 
 prevail. Hy hunoutable and liberal methods this reliable 
 firm have built up a large and perrranent patrcmaije, 
 which is diawn from the leading residents throughout the 
 city. Mr De /ouche is a first class i^usin.Ms man and an 
 esteemtd citizen, while his sons ar. pnpula.- in business 
 and social circles, and though their past was enviable their 
 futore prospects are even brighter. 
 
 A. Kam^av *y Son, Manufacturf ra of White I>ead, 
 Taints, Oils, Colours Varnishes, etc., and Importer*, 
 warrhou&e and cflice, 37 to 41 Kecoltet street ; works, 10 
 to 12 Inspector street ; varnish factory, 106 William street. 
 —The firm of A. Ramsay ^^ Son is one of the oldest es- 
 tablished houses in the manufacture of paints, oils, etc, in 
 Montreal. They originated in 1845, and have since risen 
 to a prominent position in the front rank of the trade not 
 only in Montreal, but throughout the Dominion. Tlitry 
 occupy verv extensive premises, which Icgether have a 
 total surface area uf 24 000 hrjuare frrl. The warchnu«r 
 and oflic^are located at 37, yj and 41 Recollet street. The 
 
 sample room, whlch*is located in these premises, is magni* 
 ficently fitted up, and in Ihe cabinets and showcases are 
 found samples of white leaH, paints, oils, varnishes, col- 
 ours, both wet and dry, artists' materials and sheet and 
 plate glass. The St. lawrence White l>ead and Colour 
 Works, located at 10 to 22 Inspector street, are under the 
 management of this firm, who are also the originators. 
 These extensive works cover an area of t^xioo feet, hav- 
 ing a height or three storeys. In this large establishment 
 white lead, paints and dry colours are manufactured, giv- 
 ing employment to a largt: numlwr of sUlIcd workmen. 
 The output of the factory in these lines has increased dur- 
 ing the past ten years to enormous proportions. All the 
 requisite machinery for the manufacture of these classes of 
 goods is found her^, and the entire building is fitted up in 
 the most convenient manner. The Hohemian Stained 
 (flass and Embossini? Works are carried on in connection 
 with the lirm of A. Ramsay iSr Son. A part of the build- 
 ing occupied by them 'n Inspector Mreet isiljvoted to the 
 manufacture of all kinds of embossed antl stained gla«s for 
 TuUman and railroad cars, churches, rthces, steamboats, 
 etc. Silvering and glass l>endirg constitute .in important 
 branch of the business, which is made a specialty of by 
 this house. In the whole building 34 experienced men are 
 employed. The varnish factrry operated by Messrs. A. 
 Ramsay <S-~' Son is located at 106 William street, and is de- 
 voted to the manufacture of the famed var.iishes and oils of 
 this firm. This building consists of two large flats, which 
 are (x)x75 '^^^ '" dimensi ns. lour ex}>erienced varnish 
 makers are employed throughout the year in this branch of 
 the business. In addition to the extensive manufacturing 
 business, which they carry on with so much success, they 
 have a large importing trade with some of the most noted 
 Kuropean houses. They represent Messrs Winsor and 
 Newton and Sharrat and Newth, of London, England, 
 and ritet Aine, of Taris, of whose manufactures they have 
 always a large stock on hand. They handle large ({uanti- 
 ties of Knglish and Itelgian sheet and polished plate glass, 
 which is imported direct fr -m those countries. The busi- 
 ness covers every part of the Dominion of Canada from 
 Newfoumlland to British Columbia, and over the whole ol 
 this country five experience<l travellers are constantly pass 
 ing. Mr. A Rimsay, the senior partner of A. Ram»ay (5-* 
 Son, is one of the most prominent men of Montreal, not 
 only in bus'ness but also in public life. He is a meml>er 
 of the Board of Trade of Montreal, and is always to be 
 f jund promoting whatever tends to the welfare ol the com- 
 munity. He has for many years held the position of Jus- 
 tice of the Peace, and is councillor in the municipality of 
 Cote St. Antoine. He is president of the Dominion Plate 
 Glaos Insurance Co., which is incorporated by Act of Par- 
 liament, with a capital of $50,000, and has its head()uar- 
 ters at 37, 3<> and 41 Kecollet street. Messrs. A. Ram- 
 say ».' Son are the sole manufacturers of the celebrated 
 Ramsay's Kerric Oxide Paint, which is hre, water and 
 
 weather proof. It is the most useful paint for fences, 
 roofs, shingles, tiarns, vessels, freight cars bridges, build- 
 ings, etc., and is put up ready for use in l)uckets, kegs and 
 barrels of 1 to 5 gallons. 
 
 I>. RiiiitiR tSr' ('c, Manufacturers of Cut Tobaccos 
 and Cigarettes, Dalho'tsie street. The ohiest, largest 
 and best known manufactory of cut tobacco in Canada 
 is an establishment not to be lightly passed over 
 by anybody. Kven the memlwrs of an anti-tobac- 
 co ascociation must needs honour it with their dis- 
 tinguished consideration. In the pleasant oOice of the 
 company, over a couple of choice cigarettes the representa- 
 tive of the I1 i.i'sTKAiKi> and Mortimer Davis, the alert 
 manager for D, Ritchie J^' Co., talked of the fortunes of 
 the house to which belong the distinctions mentioned in the 
 lirst sentence of this paragrah. The business was estab- 
 lished in 1866. With a splendid establishment in Mont- 
 real, with .heir own warehouses in Virginia, the country of 
 production of their raw material u<ed, with branch offices 
 in Kngtand and (iermany, and agents in many other 
 countries, D Ritchie tSr* Co. today hold n position dis 
 puted by no other house in the Dimiinion. They continue 
 as they began to manufacture only goods of the highest 
 <]uality and to cater only to a first clas4 trade. Three 
 quarters of the Canadian consumption of hne cut tobaccf>s 
 packed in fancy tins is manufactured by this house. The 
 Athlete Smoking Mixture, and the Old Chum and Puritan 
 Cut Plug are brands that have no superior in quality or 
 popularity on the market. 1'he firm are also extensive 
 makers and have a large trade in snulT. In 1883 they l>e- 
 gan the manufacture of cigarettes, and in this line aUo have 
 taken lir.st rank, doing an ext-'n^ive trade throughout the 
 Dominion and in other countres. Their prcnluciion during 
 the past two years equalletl mnie than half the consump 
 tion of cisarettes in Canada for the same period. Thi<, 
 sa'd Mr, Davis, can be substantiated by reference to the 
 government blue books. Mr, I >avis recently spent six 
 months in Europe, establishing trade connections ; and 
 through their agents, and (heir branches in lUshop's (iate, 
 I^ndon, K.C., an4l in Hamburg, (iermany, they are com- 
 peting successfully with the world in tine cut tobaccos and 
 cigarettes. Their foreign trade is tiecoming an important 
 part of their business. For the last two years ihry have 
 carried on a growing trade in exporting their manufctured 
 product to the West Indies, an ample proof of the <|uality 
 of their goods. The raw material is purchased direct from 
 the farmers in Virginia, and cured and s'ored in their o«n 
 warehouses in that state. Kverything that fjresight and 
 energy can do to ensure first class goods and to open up 
 new markets is done by this fliurishing lirm, and the result 
 in seen in the fact of their development as an industrial 
 establishment, and the other fact that they command 
 a better class of trade than any of (heir competitors. Of

 tation unsurpassetl in Canada, and these] brands have also 
 won a wide popuUrit; in the foreign market. The tobac- 
 co manufacturing ^idustry has in recent years grown to 
 great proportions in Canada and affords profitable em- 
 ployment to a very large number of opet4tives, A dis- 
 tinct position in the trade is held by the house of I). Kit- 
 chie c" Co., not only as the oldest in their line but as one 
 that has from the outset held strictly to the pro<luction of 
 goods ot the highest grades. The '[uaint stone front on 
 Dalhousie street marks the location of an important indus- 
 try, solid, progressive and reliable, and one that has done 
 not a Uule to make known the enterprise of Canada in 
 other countries of tne world. 
 
 }. O. Lakrkmekk, (irain and I-tour Merchant, 193 
 Commissioners street.— Kor over twenty five years this 
 business has been steadily gaining ground and increasing 
 its area. I'rom a comparatively small beginning Mr, 
 Lafreniere has bjilt up a trade which to day occupies a 
 prominent position in Hour and grain. Extensive premises 
 are leased at 19,^ Commissioners street, which have an 
 area of ^oxiix) leet, and comprise a building ol six storeys. 
 drain and flour are the only lines in which the proprietor 
 is engaged. The building is very commodious and 
 st>ecially equipped for the storage of large ijuantities of 
 Hour. A capacity of 4,(xx> to 5,000 sacks is provided in these 
 premises. In addition, btildings for the storaee of grain 
 are located in various parts of the country. Employment 
 h given to four assistants, besides twenty agents who are 
 engaged in various districts buying up all kinds of grain, 
 A growing export tra-ie is carried on with England, tier- 
 many, the L'nited States and other countries. Thoroughly 
 experienced in his lines of business, a close account is 
 kept of the quotations of Canadian, l'nited States and 
 European produce markets, which is a necessity to all en- 
 gaged in this business. The entire Dominion is embraced by 
 the country from which his stock is obtained, and Mr. Ijifre- 
 niere is widely recognized as a man of energy and unswerv- 
 ing honesty. Hy this meins he has established a high re- 
 putation and gained the goodwill and respect of all with 
 whom he has come in con act in his operations. To such 
 proportir<ns has t^e business grown that he contributes no 
 small portion to the export trade o( Montreal. He is a 
 member of the Hoard of I rade, the Chamber of Commerce 
 and the Corn Exchange. Since 1889 he has been one of 
 the Iward of eximiners of wheat and other grains in the

 E. d^ C. tiiKNKv 6- Co., Wholesale Manufacturers ind 
 I ounders, Hamilton and Toronto, Ont , and 385 and 3S7 
 St. I'aul nreet, K. Massey, Manager.— This well known 
 firm will complete its first half century in budness during 
 the present year, as it was established in 1841. E, &• C. 
 (iurney A* Co. have gained a reputation for which they 
 may well be envied. This is but the outcome of the energy 
 and perseverance which the proprietors have become so 
 noted lor and which has made the businesi what it is to- 
 
 day. 1'he head<tuarters of this bouse are located at Hamil- 
 ton and Toronto, Ont., where the foundries ami factories 
 cover three square blocks. The immense trade that is 
 done by this house may be inferred from the fact that 
 600 men are employed the whole year round. The 
 business of this house consists of loundry work and the 
 wholesale manufacture of stoves, scales boilers, registers, 
 grates, steam fittings, locks and lock furniture, cast iron 
 pipe and fitting", plumbers' supplies, hot air furnaces for 
 wood and coal, and many descriptions of hardware. Many 
 years ago the company found it necessary to insti ute an 
 eastern agency for the accommodation and more reaJy sup- 
 ply of the customers in this part of Canada. TTiis branch 
 was located at 385 and 387 St. Paul street, where it has 
 since been situated. I'hese premises are very extensive. 
 They consist of two stores of five tlits each, having a front 
 age of 50 leet overlooking St, Paul street, and a depth of 200 
 
 leet. The first and second storeys of this building are 
 set apart for show rooms, and samples of the work of the 
 Hamilton and Toronto factories are here displaye<l. The 
 ^;cond floor is exclusively confined to the ofl'ices, and a 
 show room for stoves and ranges. The specialties of this 
 house are stoves, scales aud boilers, in which classes of 
 work Messrs. E. C-" C. (iurney &* Co. cannot be excelled. 
 The management of th? Montreal portion of the htuse is in 
 the hands of Col. F. Massey. This gentleman is a highly 
 respected member ol the Hoard of Trade, and has held a 
 Colonel's commission in the Canadian militia for several 
 years, being in command of the Sixth I usiliers regiment. 
 He is one of Montreal's most prominent business men, 
 and his connection with E. iT-* C. Clurney *Sr' Co. dates 
 back many year*. The output of the factories of this 
 company is distributetl over the whole Dominion, and a 
 large export trade is carried on with the Inited States.

 Alex. Bintin cr* Son, Paper Manufacturers and 
 Wholesale Sta'ioner?, 345 St. Paul street.—One of the 
 Iwst known firms of Canadian paper makers is that of A. 
 Huntin ^-^ S' n, whose business was establisheil thirty years 
 ago and wh"se goods have teen for years sold all over 
 Cinada. The fiim operate two mills, with a capac'ty of 
 li^ht tons per day, and the product consists in printing 
 pai)er of all grades. Their mills are fully e.^uipi»ed and 
 turn out work of the besf quality, which owing to excep- 
 tional facilities and the great volume of their business they 
 are able to place on the market at rates advantageous to 
 customers. Their wholesale establishment on St. Paul 
 street comprises six tiats, each 110x40 leet in dimensions, 
 and an immense st- ck of stationers' goods of ail kinds is to 
 be found there. They carry full lines in every department 
 and a visit to their sales and sample rooms amply repays 
 whoevr r desires to inspect a first class establishment flocked 
 with first class goods displayed in a tasteful, orderly and 
 convenient manner. Messrs. Huntin <S- Son give employ- 
 ment in store and factories to 120 persons, a fact tVat 
 speaks for itself as to the volume of their business. Two 
 travellers are employed, and, as already stated, their 
 goods arc sold all over Canada. The firm hai enjoyed for 
 years a splendid reputation in the buinesn world, and has 
 maintained its good name by the quality of the yoods sent 
 out and by straii^htforward intrgnty in all business tran- 
 sactions. Mr. Uunttn, sr., is a memtier of the Montreal 
 Hr)ard of Trade, and a gentleman highly esteemed for his 
 business qualities and for the energy and ability with which 
 the splendid e^tablishment of his firm has been built up and 
 is now conducted. 
 
 A.J. Pir.RON, Cabinet Maker, 53 St. Antoine street, 
 worksop, St. Monique Ave., off 10 St. Monique 
 street. — In an age of shoddy it is a matter of importance 
 and of satisfaction to the public to know where they may 
 turn and find fubstantial workmanship. In the line of 
 furniture as much as in any other there is room for fraud, 
 and the buyer too often finds that lieauty and durability 
 are not necessary to each other. Those Montreal people, 
 and there are many, who during the last twenty two years 
 have received goods from the establishment of A. J. 
 
 Pigeon have found no reason to complain either that the 
 goods were not handsome in appearance or that they were 
 not durable in (juality and workmanship. I-'ine and artistic 
 cabinet making is Mr, Pigeon's business and for more than 
 a score of years he has been engaged in it. to his own 
 credit and 10 the complete satisfaction rf his patrons. 
 Many a home has been made more attractive through his 
 agency, and his work is of the kind that bears the test. A 
 thorough practical mechanic himself, he takes care that 
 every product of his workshop shall be worthy of the repu- 
 tation he has established, lie is engaged exclusively upon 
 custom work. Mis premises comprise two flats, 50x25 
 feet in dimensions, and three skilled workmen are em- 
 ployed, lie and his assistants are kept constantly at work. 
 I'or irtistic and durable work in cabinet making there is no 
 more reliable place in the city. 
 
 IIUDON tSr*OKSA!i, Importers of and Wholesale Dealers 
 in (.Irocenes, Provisions and Liquors, 27881. Paul .and 123 
 Commissioners street. — Among the great wholesale estab- 
 lishments that grace St. Paul street, and from wliich such 
 an immense volume ot trade annually proceeds, the house 
 of lludon dr* Orsali holds an important place. Their busi- 
 ness was established in 1875 and has not only grown to 
 large proportions at the M mtreal house, but there is also 
 now a flourishing branch establishment at 1'hree Rivers. 
 The premises on St. Paul street comprise a line five storey 
 building 80x36 feet in dimensions. The trade is wholesale 
 only, and requires the services of nine employees. The 
 firm aredealersin groceries, liijuorsand provisions. A full 
 line of staple and fancy grorerie<( of choice quality, impor- 
 ted direct by the firm, is constantly in stock. In general 
 provisions also, they carry a large stock, and their impor- 
 tations of liquors are very extensive and of the finest (luality. 
 Everything required for the equipment of a first class gro- 
 cery and liquor store may Ik found in their establishment. 
 They import direct from Kr gland, Krance, Spain and the 
 United States in all of which countries they have established 
 close business connecti< ns and are able to command the 
 liest that the market affords. Their trade extends from 
 the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Ontario border, and wher- 
 ever their goods have Iwen introduced they have won favor 
 with the local dealers. The lirm have not only developed 
 a large trade, but, what is more important, have made for 
 themselves an excellent reputation throughout the province. 
 The result is that both the Montreal house and the branch 
 at Three Rivers find their business steadily increasing. 
 The members of the firm ate I'irmin lludon and Alexandre 
 Orsali, both of them memlwrs of the Ituard uf Trade, and 
 gentlemen highly esteemed in Montreal business circles.

 Titos. DoiiKR I V ^-^ Co,, Tea and Coffee Importers, 29

 ted to the material pi ngressof the city's commTce 14 that of 
 the well known and reliable house of Thos. I >oherty c" 
 Co., importers and dealers in teas and coflees. The house 
 was founded fourteen years ago by the present pmprietors, 
 and since that period has enjoyed a constantly increa<:ing 
 tra<te owing to the unsurpassed purity, quality and fresh 
 ness oftheir eo^ds,. Trubably few articles that enter in- 
 to daily consumption are so hard to otitain of good qiality 
 as tea and cofTee. It is only by the exercite of the great- 
 est care in puichasing direct from the countries of produc- 
 tion that purity and quality can be assured. The goods 
 htndlcd by Messrs. Dohcrty C-^ Co. arj amongst the 
 choice^ productions in teas of China and Japan, and in cof- 
 fees the most fragrant from Java, Mocha and South 
 America. Mr, Doherty makes it a special point to visit 
 China and Japan each year for the purpose of purchaiing 
 direct from the growers. Their premises, located at 29 
 Hospital street, are \ery extensive and comprise four flats 
 about 40x120 feet in dimensions, well equipped through 
 out, aflbrding abundance of space for the storage and dis- 
 play of goods. Only the purest quality of goods are in 
 stock, so that all patrons can rely on everything from this 
 establishment as tirst class in every respect. Kmptoyment 
 is furnished for ten persons on the premises while six tra- 
 vellers are actively engaged throughout the Dominion. 
 An immense business i:» conducted by this firm, and their 
 reliability is widely known. The fact that over a quarter 
 of a million dollars worth of business was done in 1890 is 
 sufficient evidence of the magnitude of this institution. 
 Their progress and success knows no bound and every in- 
 dication is visible for a most desirable future. Mr. Thos, 
 Dohcrty ^is recognized throughout Montreal as a pro 
 mineni and enterprising citizen and the ftim are most 
 
 favourably known and esteeme i as valuable representatives 
 and promoters of Montreal and Canadian industries. 
 
 Till. Ciiv I' I. CnMiANV, '<. .\. liecket iV Co., proprie- 
 tors, J(»\ictoria Square, Munlreal. Intii a comparatively 
 recent period the cutting and storing of ice was an inconsid- 
 erable industry in Montreal. Since then the demand forthis 
 article has l»een increasing e\ery year until at present it has 
 reached enornuius pmnnrtlons t ine of the most prominent 
 firms who harvest ice 111 Montreal is that of .Messrs. K, A. 
 liecket \ Co., popularly known as the City Ice Company. 
 This hmisc was established 'in il^4-, and was carried on 
 for many years by .Messrs. h. Morricc \ Co. , until the last 
 live years, when Messrs. Iteckel \ Co. obtained control. 
 They occupy No. 2') \ictoria Square as an otiice and have 
 four warehouses lor the storing ofice. These are situated as 
 follows ; Atxvaler .\venuc, capalile of accommodating 15,000 
 tons ; Cantin's Hasin, 5,000 tons ; Hisin street, S,ooo tons ; 
 William street, ^4oo tons. A slight idea may lie gained from 
 
 (he alxive as Id the extent of the trade done by this firm. 
 They employ in summer some 2S horses and 30 men, 
 who are always luisy delivering ice to their many customers 
 throughout the city. During the winter seastm, when the 
 ice is secured, they furnish employment to 80 horses and a 
 large numl'er of men, whti, under the supervision of com- 
 petent foremen, cut and store the ice in the various ware- 
 houses. The ice used by this company is from the St. Law- 
 rence, almve the \"ictoria liridge, where, it is claimed, the 
 purest ice on the river can be procured. In the summer the 
 cooling material is left at their patrons' doors to Iw used for 
 refreshing the hot and uiK'om fort able citizens. The climate 
 in this country in the summer makes the use of ice a neces- 
 sity for the purjxise of keeping meats, vegetables and other 
 things in a fresh condition. I' rom his long, practical ex- 
 perience of twenty-six years Mr. Heckct is thoroughly con- 
 versant with ever)*thing pertaining to the trade, and can 
 therefore guarantee his many patrons pure ice at reasi^nable 
 rates.

 favour in which the cigars of this hou^e are held

 other house in t s line. The firm have gained a success 
 which has increased each year, and they have e^ery reason 
 to look forward to a long continued prosperity. They have 
 huilt up an important irdu&try by honest methods, and 
 no house has a higher reputation w th the trade. The firm 
 is one of the highest standing in Montreal business circles, 
 just as its various brands of cigars are in the first rank of 
 popularity among the smokers of Canada. 
 
 J. Pai.mkr A-Son, Manufacturers' Agents, Importers of 
 Druggists' Sundries, Fancy Cioods, etc., 1743 and 1745 
 Noire Oame street.— Among the many long established 
 firms in the city that of Messrs. J. Palmer C-' Son holds a 
 leading place. Founded in the year 1847 they are perhaps 
 the oldest house in their line in Montreal, and since the date 
 of inception they have by untiring energy and per- 
 severance attained a position second to none in the city. 
 Their place of Imsiness is most advantageously located at 
 Nos, 1743 and 1745 Notre Dame street. These premises 
 could not be better suited to their purposes, being light 
 and spacious, consisting of three fiats, 35x120 and 
 fitted with the latest and most improved arrangementi for 
 the accommodation of their goods and the expeditious 
 handling of the same. The stock is large and well selected, 
 comprising among other things : perfumery, sponges, 
 chamois, brushes, fancy plush goods, and small 
 wares of difTerent kinds. Meiisrs. Palmer &* Son 
 import largely frcm F'rance, Germany, Heliiium, Austria 
 and the United Stales. They are the largest importers in 
 Canada of sponges of all kinds, from the finest Turkey cup 
 and Ittth sponges to the coarse Florida variety. In toilet 
 brushes of all descriptions their stock is unequalled in the 
 city, as they are the agents for the celebrated house of 
 Dupont >S'' Co., Paris. They are sole Canadian ai^ents 
 for Traub &* Co., Vienna, the largest fan manufacturers 
 111 the world, and carry a full stock of all varieties from the 
 mof t expensive ostrich feather fans, with pearl sticks, to the 
 ordinary summer article. They also hold the sole Cana- 
 dian agency for the celebrated Pears* soap, an article of 
 world-wide reputation, and the trade in which in this coun- 
 try has developed in a most remarkable manner, especially 
 within the last few year?, thus proving its claim to be the 
 l>est toilet soap made. Their trade extends all over the 
 Dominion, their three travellers soliciting orders 
 for them in all the cities from Halifax to Vancouver. 
 The members of this firm are well known in Montreal as 
 enterprising and keen business men, always ready to afford 
 their influential aid to any plan for the benefit of the trade 
 of the city. Mr. J. W. Palmer is m member of the Board 
 of Trade, and takes an active interest in all that operates 
 for the good of Montreal. 
 
 Messrs. Birks, Cornhr ^ Co., Wholesale CJrocers 
 and Tea Impoiters, 18 and 20 St. Sacrament street. — Com- 
 prising most of the necessities, to say nothing ot the deli- 
 cacies of daily subsistenije, the trade in groceries is one of 
 more than ordinary importance. Prominent among first 
 class wholesale merchants in this connection, Messrs. 
 Birks, Corner &* Co. of 18 and 20 St. Sacrament street are 
 worthy of special refierence. Though but a comparatively 
 young house, yet since the inception of the busineu twelve 
 months ago, marked success has attended the trade in every 
 department. The premises occupied are admirably fitted 
 up with every requirement of the grocery trade, and com- 
 prise thre« stories, about 40x100 feet in dimensions, affording 
 facilities for conducting their large and growing trade, that 
 
 i. 
 
 MONTRF.AL KSTAIII.ISHMKNT of FAIRBANKS N: CO. 
 
 are unsurpassed in Montreal. Throughout this hard- 
 somely equipped place of businew, always choicely dis- 
 poFed, is a large aisortment of staple and fancy groceries of 
 all descriptions, including sugar and molasses from the 
 West Indies, sealett eoods in tins and elass, condiments, 
 breakfast cereals ana table delicacies of all kinds, foreign 
 and domestic fruits, fresh and salt fish, etc. A specialty 
 is made of importing tea and the finest brands of coffee, of 
 l)nth of which an assortment in packages of various sizes is 
 always on hand. They also import all grades of goods 
 from Great Britain and different parts of Europe. The 
 stock carried is one which evidences the splendid taste and 
 judgment of the proprietors in selection. The trade ot the 
 house is constantly erowing and now extends throughout 
 (Quebec province and as far west as the Pacific coast. Thises* 
 tablishment, conducted as it is by able and experienced busi- 
 ness men, stric'ly on the basis of fair dealing and fine goods 
 at moderate prices, has no doubt a continued highly success- 
 ful course before it. Kach member of the firm is charac- 
 terized by energy, earnestness and ability in all business 
 transactions, and the success of the house has been entirely 
 due to their own untiring personal efforts. The splendid 
 reputation of Messrs. Birks, Corner ^ Co. has been a 
 powerful factor in the attraction of their many patrons, and 
 It is only fair to assume that this house will continue to 
 hold a place in the front rank of grocery establishments in 
 Montreal. 
 
 Frank Wilson, Cheese and Creamery Butter, 33 St. 
 Peter street, also A(;ent for the Laval Cream Separator.— 
 Established in 1882, Mr. Frank Wilson has rapidly built 
 up a large and increasing business, and is gaining a firm 
 position in the front rank of produce merchants. He

 height. The building has a fine frontage of 30 feet, with a 
 depth of 125 feet. Cheese and butter make up the chief 
 portion of his business, which is strictly wholesale. The 
 interior of the building is eqaipped with elevators, weighing 
 machines and other necessaries of the bu><iness, being ar- 
 ranged with an eye to the ([uick working of the establish- 
 ment. 'Ilie stock carried consists of very large ([uantities 
 of butter from creameries in various i>art8 of the country.

 Province of the Dominion, make up a large share of the 
 stock. Mr. Frank Wilson is the sole Canadian agent for 
 the Ue Laval Cream Separators, These separators are manu- 
 factured in Montreal, and are sold in every Province of 
 the Dominion by agents representing Mr. Wilson. 
 Wherever used, they are recognized as being the 
 finest article for this work. Two clerks are em- 
 ployed by Mr. Wilson during the entire year. The 
 proprietor is always thoroughly conversant with home and 
 foreign quotations, holding himself in readiness to tak? ad- 
 vantage of any rise in the markets. The choicest qualities 
 of cheese and butter are handled by him to the exclusion 
 of poor samples. By this means he has built up solid 
 busineu connections. De Laval Cream Separators are 
 His busineu has continually increased from year 
 
 to year and is rapidly becoming one of the prin- 
 cipal produce establishments of the city. Mr. Frank 
 Wilson is a respected member of the Board of Trade, with 
 which he has Iieen connected for several years. He is a 
 man of fine business ability, energy and perseverance. 
 His career as a produce merchant has been most deservedly 
 succeuful, being due solely to his own efforts. 
 
 I MKHANKs^V Ci\ -There is 'no name more familiar to 
 
 the Imsiness public in Canada ot the I'nited States 
 than that of lairbanks. The invention of l-airkinks 
 scales and the inipmvements that have from lime to lime 
 I'eeii adopted are the results of nearly three-i|uarters of a 
 tenliiry of close observatinn and practical experience. Their 
 rc|iutalion has lieen of steady gniwth frr)m the cnninience- 
 ment, and the public are thoroughly satisfied that these 
 scales are the l>est. With warehouses in every principal city 
 on the continent the\ have lieen al)Ie to give, through their 
 agents, personal alirntioti to the practical working of these 
 siandanl scales, atui the ronfidenre of the public in their 
 accuracy has steadily increased, and with it the demand. 
 The Canadian liusincssi for more than a third of a century 
 has lueti under the supervision of Col. I'atien, Duringthat 
 time nearly alt the railway lines have hcen huilt, and he has 
 had the satisfactit>n of seeing Fairbanks scales adoptetl as a 
 standard in Canada and sold by the hardware dealers gener 
 ally ; while in their warehouse, 419 and 421 St. Paid >ireet, 
 a stock of the larger weighing machine-, are constantly 011 
 hanil. withe\i)erienced workmen to superintend their erection 
 in any part of ihc Dominion. It is a significant fact that 
 whenever new weighing machines are put upon the market 
 it seems to he the chief aim of the makers to show that they 
 are asi^txulas Fairlianks*. 
 
 Jas, M. Smv 111, " Cycledom," dealer in Athletic 
 Ci ods, 2429 St. Catherine street. — This business was es- 
 tablished 15 years ago. The premises occupied consist of 
 one flat, having an area 22x50 feet. The I .,;e show 
 window is filled with different varieties of athletic goods. 
 The interior is divided into two portions, the front one 
 being used for a wareroom, the rear one for repairing 
 work, skate grinding, etc. The large stock carried in- 
 cludes bicycles of diffirrent varieties, snowshoes, toboggans, 
 hockey sticks, skates, lacrosse stick*, etc., etc. In fact, 
 they are too numerous to mention in detail. The business 
 establishment of Mr. Smyth is now becoming extensively 
 known amongst the sporting and athletic associations, not 
 only in Canada, but in the United States and Flngland, A 
 large repairing trade is done. All work entrusted to his 
 care receives the personal supervision of the proprietor. 
 Mr. Smyth makes a specialty of bicycles and hockey sticks, 
 and he exports a large quantity of snowshoes to the States. 
 He also exports a considerable number of lacrosse sticks to 
 England. This house is rapidly gaining a high reputation 
 for the quality of the goods, and "Cycledom " is known

 energy and is only gaining the succeu which is his due. 
 It is his intention to commence the manufacture of bicyles 
 during the present year and he will be able to place an 
 article before his patrons equal to anything on the market.

 525 St. Lawrence street. — In this age it would be dilli- 
 cult to conceive a more unique combination of skill and 
 professions than when a fully qualified physician enters 
 pharmacy ; when this is done there can be no doulH as to 
 the reliability and accuracy of the medicines prescribeil or 
 compounded, and patrons have no fear of dangerous mis- 
 takes. l>r. C. S. Stroud, of 525 St. Lawrence street, is a 
 first clau example, and in this connection is entitled to 
 special mention. He opened a pharmacy in Montreal in 
 1870, and after the inception of the enterprise, it rapidly 
 rose into prominence owing to the skill, energy and super- 
 ior business ability of the proprietor. His drug store is 
 admiiably located on the northern portion of one of the

 their trade in Montreal, The hne plate glass show win- 
 il'iw contains a choice selection of the various articles of 
 millinery, fancy goods, laces, *S-c. that may be obtained 
 within. The interior is even more pleasing, being litted in 
 a manner that is at once attractive and neat, the mirrors, 
 plate show cases and other littings settinir off the beauties 
 of the many examples of the milliner's art displayed in the 
 showroom. Mere may be purchased all the latest and 
 l>esi styles of hats, bonnets, lace caps, &^., as well as the 
 Hnrst qualities of ribbon, laces, bonnet pins, and many 
 other articles too numerous to mention. Messrs. Irwin i^* 
 Co. are constantly receiving per steamers the latest novel- 
 ties in Krench trimmed bonnets and hats, of which they 
 keep a large stock on band to select from. Their extended 
 and varied knowledge of the home and foreign markets 
 enables them to purchase their goods at the best prices, 
 and they can therefore lay them before their customers at rates 
 as low as often uked for an inferior grade of goods. The 
 trade done is a flourishing one, the services of thirty em*

 W. TliiiMA^ tS?* Co., Wholesale l-urri'-rs and Manufac- 
 turers, 501 St. I'aul stmt and ^oand y2 St. Teter street.- - 
 In a country such as Canada, with severe winter seasons, 
 the cold is so intense fur a portion of the year that it 
 is an absolute necessity to poitesi furs of some sort. I'hii 
 almost universal demand makes the fur trade v( the Do- 
 minion a very important one. Montreal being the com- 
 mercial heart of the country, the headi]uarters of the busi- 
 ness are situated in this city. Among the many large 
 wholesale furriers in Montreal, the establishment of Messrs. 
 W. Thomas ^ ' Co. holds a prominent place. This busi 
 ness was founded some years ago, for the purpose of buying 
 and selling skins, and producing manufactured furs of all 
 descriptions. Since the date of its inception this lirm has 
 twen progressing steadily, increasing its connections un'il at 
 the present date they occupy the commodious premises on 
 the corner of St. I'aul and St- I'eter streets. This build 
 ing is specially adapted to their purpose, being four 
 storeys high and the well lighted flats contribute to the 
 comfort to the employees. On the ground floor are situ- 
 ate<l the ulVice and warerooms, and the upj)er flats are used 
 to accommodate the hands of which a numtier are em- 
 j)loyed, as well as to store the goods. The tinn manufac- 
 ture all kinds ot hats, caps. mutVs, cloaks and many other 
 articles for which fur may l»e used. The factory is titled with 
 the most improved forms of machinery for the manufac- 
 ture of furs, and the operatives are kept constantly busy 
 making up stock to fill the orders that pour in. The firm 
 ilo an extensive trade, their travellers going all over the 
 Dominion, making their name and gocds known through- 
 out the length and breadth of Canada. They also do a 
 large importing and exporting business buying skins in the 
 various markets, and exporting tho^e peculiar to Canada in 
 return. Carrying the large and complete stock that they 
 do, they are enabled to put btfore their customers an as- 
 sortment that cannot fait t > please the most exacting, and 
 at the lowest current rate'j. The li'm have acquired the 
 trade of a large and growing circle of customers in all 
 parts of the Dominion, who find the business methods and 
 honest dealing of W. Thomas 6^ t.'o. to be to thrir advan- 
 tage, and show th«'ir appreciation of t>'e same by a con- 
 tinued patronage. Mr. Thomas is well and favourably 
 known omong the large number of commercial firms by 
 whom he is surrounded. That he has earned this reputa- 
 tion in the^pa t and will continue to deserve it goes with- 
 out saying.

 At.AiN Cr' CAiEi.t.i. Manufactureri of Cardboird and 
 PUying (Jards. Ofticc, 1588 Notre Dime street ; Factory, 
 40 J»C'Hes Ctnicr smire.— With all due respect to 
 Addi>on, who so many years ago condemned card playing 
 in such severe terms in his "Spectator," it must be ad- 
 mitted that the various games in which cards are used at 
 the present time are, in most case?, not only pleasant and 
 iiuttuctive recreation to all who take part, but are also the 
 
 means of keeping together and making happy a great 
 many homes. Therefore, the industry involving the manu- 
 facture of *ll kinds of playing cards must needs be of the 
 greatest importance. Among the many (ir>tclass houses 
 engaged in this connection in Montreal none are more 
 worthy of special mention than that ol Messrs. Alain <V 
 Catelli, who, it may be said, do a leading trade in this line. 
 These gentlemen began this enterprise here in 1884, and by 
 their superior management and the high character of the 
 goods sold they have built up a solid, thriving business, 
 which retlects upon them the highest credit for energy, 
 enterprise and ability. A general business is done in the 
 manufacture if cardboard and playing cards of all 
 descriptions, Iwsides the printing of /:• Monde lllu>trf. 
 This paper is too well and favourably kn >wn in the 
 city to require any comment re^jarding its reliability 
 and iilerling worth. Cards of many varieties are manufac 
 tured, and the commodious premises, which are eligibly 
 locate-) at 40 Jaci{iies Cartier square, are thoroughly fitted 
 up with everything neeedful or useful in the prosecution of 
 this impo tant branch of trade, including all the newest 
 appliances and latest improved machinery. The oflice of 
 the firm has lately been o|>ened at 1588 Notre Dame 
 street, and is centrally and conveniently located. All 
 orders left here receive prompt and careful attention, while 
 those by telephone or mail receive immediate response. 
 The m jst competent workmen are employed, and satisfac- 
 ti tn is guaranteed to all parties, their operations being 
 supervised in person by Messrs. Alain and Cat'-Vi. They 
 are gentlemen popular in commercial and s^ial circles 
 a* d, i> is needless to say, retain the go3dwdl and respect 
 of all who have dialings with them. 
 
 Gkori.e CaRsI.ake, St. James street. — Although 
 Monirealers have been in the habit of thinking that 
 this city is well supplied with hotels, one more, 
 namely, the Carslake House, has recently been addefl 
 to the ranks of Montreal's hostelries. Mr, (ieorge 
 Carslake, the propri"tor of this handsome hotel, is an eld 
 citizen ot Montreal and has for many years been connected 
 with hotels and restaurants in this city. He is, therefore, 
 thorougly competent to run the hne establishment which 
 he is erecting. A short desciiption of this building may 
 not be out of place. It is situated on the corner of 
 Windsor and St. James streets, in a most c mvcnient posi- 
 tion, l>einB in close proi^imity to both the Grand Trunk and 
 Canadian Pacific Railway stations. The building itself is 
 one of the finest on St. James street, and can compare 
 favourably with the modern hotel buildings of the city It 
 is six storeys high, the front being made of refl Scotch 
 sanditone, with limestone foundation. In point of size, it 
 has a frontage of ninety feet on St. James atteet, and v:x- 
 tends some eighty-two feet to the rear on Witulsor street. 
 As regards the internal construction of this building, it is, 
 perhaps, the best of its kind in Montreal, in fact it is 
 
 claimed that it is the only really fireproof hotel in Canada. 
 All the stairways, ceilings, floors, beams, C^c,^ are iron 
 and terra cotta, the ven'ilation being carried on beneath 
 the floors, ample air space being left for this purpose. 
 Every convenience is furnished, such as elevators run by 
 electricity, telephones and speaking tubes connecting all 
 portions of the hotel, the whole being heeVd by hoi water 
 and lighted by electricity. One huMre and twenty lied- 
 rooms will be elegantly furnished for the accommodation 
 of guests, b'ing carpeted and littcd with everything that 
 contributes to the comfort and ease of the occupant. I'he 
 breakfast room will be finished with oak trimmings and 
 furniture, everything being in perfect order. The dining- 
 room is finished in sycamore, which affords a most pleas- 
 ing effect. The meals served in both these apartments will 
 be of the choicest kind, comprising all the delicacies of the 
 season, cooked in the most inviting manner and set before 
 the guest by a competent staff of ob iging waitresses. The 
 rotunda, ladies' parlour and promenade will all be furnished 
 in white enamel and marble, and will probably be the 
 most elaborate of their kind in the city. Judging from the 
 past success of Mr. Carslake, it is only just to predict for 
 him a brilliant future; certainly when the attractions of the 
 (Jarslake House become known he will have his hands full 
 attending to his many patrons. 
 
 L^Ntli'KR (St* Co., Hatters and 1 urriers, 166^ Notre 
 Dame street.— The fact that Messrs, Ijinlhier c^ Co , of 
 i()63 Notre Dame street, were awarded the first prize at 
 the Centennial exhibition, Philad 'phia, for the excellent 
 • I lality of their furs shown there, is standing evidence that 
 they rank prominently among the first-class furriers of the 
 world. It is therefore with no small amount of gratifica- 
 tion that in a work of this nature, where the commercial 
 and industrial enterprises of Montreal are described, s|>eciat 
 mention is made of their reliable establishment in this city. 
 These gentlemen founded this enterprise in 1870, and for 
 the long |>ertod of nearly a <iuarter of a century have been 
 attended with uninterrupted prosperity, a result due m i.dy 
 to their energy, enterprise, ra'e executive ability and 
 integrity, wh>le the high quality of the gootls sold has ever 
 been the solid basis upon which they exercised these ster- 
 ling qualities. The hsndsome and commodious premises 
 occupied are 100x30 feet in dimensions, three storeys in 
 height, and are fitted up from basement to attic with every- 
 thing needful, useful or ornamental in the prosecution of 
 this imp irtant business, including attractive plate glass 
 windows, show cases and cabinets ; while the spacious fur 
 show rooms are always brilliantly lighted, I'he first (lit 
 is utilized for show and salesrooms and is without doubt 
 one ol the finest in the city ; the remaining two storeys 
 b:in^ used as a manufactory. Hats are also kept on hand, 
 but turs are the specialty, and the stock in all lines is 
 very large and select. The list of goods comprises 
 ladies' sacques and dolmans of south sea seal, plain and

 which make up the stock in a first-class store of this kind. 
 Besides the above-named extensive assortment, Messrs,

 kinds, as well as a complete assortment of waterprooof 
 coats, umbrellas, silk ami felt hats from the vrry bebt 
 manufacturers. Fine goods only are dealt in, and also 
 only skilled labour is employed. Messrs. I^nthier ^-^ 
 (-'u. have an enviable reputation in this city and province, 
 and judging from their splendid past, it is only lair to 
 assume that they will continue in the future to maintain 
 their proud position second to none in the trade,

 Ira c;oi;i.n &* Sons, City Flour Mills,— The firm of Ira 
 (Jould &* Sons was established in Montreal, Canada, 43 
 years ago by Mr. Ira (iould. who, in 1S47, built the first 
 merchant flour mill and grain elevator erected in lA>wer 
 Canada. A lew years later a second mill was added to 
 the first, the united daily capacity of the two being 750 
 barrels of flour. The q'^ality of flour produced at the 
 Montreal ** City Mills " soon gave the establishment a pro- 
 minent position, both in this country and in the principal 
 markets of the I'nited King<lom. which position it still re- 
 tains. Keeping pace with the improvements of the age, 
 the proprietors a few years ago converted their mills into 
 
 roller mills of the most approved character, thereby in- 
 creasing their outf ut of llour to 1, 200 barreU a day. No 
 expense has been spared in the construction of there mills, 
 and no valuable improvement in milling has yet appeared 
 which ha« not been secured and utilized in this establish- 
 ment. From its long standing, exte^rive connections and 
 valuable experience, the firm of Ira (lould &* Sons pos 
 messes exceptional facilities for the prosecution of its busi- 
 ness, and is cheerfully conceded by all in the trade a pro- 
 minent and honorable position among the leading millers 
 of the Dominion.

 The Moi.sons Bank, Head Office aoo St. James, cor- 
 ner St. Teter street, Montreal. — The Molsons Hank, incor- 
 porated by Act of Parliament in 1855, ranks high among 
 the solid financial institutions that centre in Montreal. Its 
 long and honourable record, and the character for ability 
 and integrity of the men by whom its affairs are conducted, 
 have won for it a large share of public confidence and 
 patronage. The paid up capital of this bank is $2,ooo,cxx) 
 and the rest fund $1,100,000. The statement issued on 
 September 30th, 1890, showed assets of $12,092,573 
 against liabilities to the public of $8,960,825.95. During 
 the year two semi-annual dividends of 4 per cent, were de- 
 clared and a bonus of f per cent, paid to the shareholders, 
 leaving nearly $50,000 more of net earnings to be trans- 
 ferred in part to the rest account and in part carried to the 
 profit and loss account, which now amounts to over 
 $31,000. The bank has twenty-three agencies in Quebec, 
 Ontario and Manitoba, has agents in every other I'rovince 
 of the I)omimon, in I^ndon, Liverpool, Cork, Paris and 
 Antwerp, and in all the chief cities of the United States. 
 This bank has the agency for the money order department 
 of the Pacific Express Co., and American Express Co. of 
 the United States. Collections are made in every part of 
 Canada and Letters of Credit issued, available all 
 over the world, and all branches of a general banking 
 business are conducted. The members of the board of 
 directors are gentlemen well known in Canadian business 
 circ! They are as follows: John H. K. Molson, presi- 
 dent , .. -V. Sheppard, vice -president ; S. H. Ewing, W. 
 M. Ramsay, Henry Archbald, Samuel 1-inley and Hon. 
 Sir David I, Macpherson, K.C.M.G. The general man- 
 ager, F. Wolierstan Thomas, is one of the highest authori- 
 ties in Canada on banking matters. A. I>. Durnford, in 
 spector, and James F^lliot, manager of the Monlreal branch, 
 are gentlemen who were selected on account of their 
 ability and their knowledge and experience in banking 
 affair^^. The Molsons Bank conducts a savings depart- 
 ment in connection with its Montreal branch as well as 
 with all its principal branches, a department that is highly 
 appreciated and largely patronizrd, the solidity of this old 
 established institution being a recognized fact among those 
 who have savings to deposit. 
 
 S. Harris iJH Co , Manufacturers and Importers of Furs, 
 Hats, Caps and Straws, 2 tSr* 4 I^mojne street and 60 iSr* 62 
 St. Peter street. — The magnincent stune building occupied 
 by Messrs. S. Harris *S-= Co. is located on the corner of 
 '.«moine and St. Peter streets. It is one of the finest 
 structures for business use in the city of Montreal, and has 
 l>een occupied by this firm since 1885. It is a seven storey 
 bu'lding, and covers a surface area of 130x70 feet. The 
 second floor is used for the offices and sample room of the 
 establishment, is elegantly fitted up, and filled with an as- 
 sortment of goods which is simply aston'shing in variety. 
 The upper Hats are used for the purposes of the manufac- 
 turing portion of the business, are very commodious, and 
 
 furnished with every appliance necessary. The products 
 of this house have earned for themselves a position in the 
 market which is second to none, and which guarantees both 
 the make and quality of the goods. Furs are here made 
 up into rugs, coats, caps, collars and cufTs, and the trade 
 which the house has built up in this line is very extensive, 
 E\ery variety of fur is handled by this establishment, but 
 the most noticeable feature of their stock is the assortment 
 of Russian furs, of which a specialty is made. The mag- 
 nificence and l>eauty of these, which are represented by 
 specimens of the ermine, silver fox, Russian bear, mink, 
 etc., is incomparable. As the fur trade can only be op>er- 
 ated for a portion of each year, the manufacture of hats, 
 caps, etc., IS carried on in conjunction with it. Messrs. S. 
 Harris &* Co. are strictly wholesale dealers, and import 
 furs from Russia and England, hats and caps from England, 
 Germany, France and the United States. These latter are 
 
 of every variety and material, and made in the latest styles. 
 Imitation cloth caps constitute the special branch of their 
 own output, and to this great attention is given, so that 
 they may satisfy the growing demands of their customers. 
 F'rom 60 to 65 perscis are employed during the whole 
 year, some being engaged In the fur department and others 
 in the cap factory, Messrs. S. Harris •i-* Co. have already 
 become one of the representative firms in this line of busi- 
 ness, and have repeatedly proved themselves to be thor- 
 oughly progressive men of business. They have built up 
 a trade which extends throughout Canada from the Atlantic 
 to the Pacific, and the ability which the firm of Mr, S. Harris 
 Jr* Co. have shown in achieving this has been very great. 
 It is impossible to speak too highly of this 6rm, which has 
 raised itself to a position, sustained with so much judgment 
 and perseverance in the face of the increasing competition 
 of each year.

 St. Henri. The large increase which has taken place in the 
 leather industries in ami around the city of .Montreal during 
 the la?.l ten years is unprecedented. Several of the houses 
 which have Iteeii eslaliUsheil within ihis period have risen to 
 |>o>iilons of great prominence. One of ihese is the well- 
 known establishment of Mr, J. Alex. Stevenson, which 
 originaicil in 1S7J. The business of this house is cariie<l on 
 in two separate establishments and has two dej)ariments, 
 That iif dealing in leather, hides and oil, and as a commis- 
 sion merchant in these lines, has its headijuarters al Jo l.e- 
 iiioine street. Here very extensive premi-ses are occupied, 
 consisting .if a live st.irey building with a line cvit-.-tone 
 frontage of ^o feel, and having a depth of So feet. The 
 lower part is set apart lor the otllces and showrooms, and 
 gives evidence that convenience was greatly studied. Not 
 t>nly is 'his so u]Hm the (irst iloor. but throughout the entire 
 building. The show-ronnis are lil'ed with the linest samples 
 of manufactured leathers, which are seen hen; in great 
 variety. The manufacturing part of the business is carried 
 out in a large tannery, sitiiate<l in St. Henri. This estab-

 but t* e new works entirety dwarf them in extent, in varitty 
 of machinery and ceneral equipment. The main building

 the business has had a remarkably jjratifyinj; development 
 since then. The company manufacture, ?.eli. and operate 
 every <lescription -d telephone ap])aralus. At ;o C<illef^e 
 street there is a fac'ory giving employment to from ^,o tn 
 40 persons. Kverv particle of teleplionic apparatus is 
 there nnnufacturcd from the raw materiil. The factory 
 is folly e'piipped with the late-t improved machinery and 
 t >olf, which are operated by skilled workmen. This coni- 
 pany use the Law Metallic Circuit System, which dillers 
 from the older systems inasmuch as the subscril>ers are ''' 
 furnished with four wires. Two nf these area common call 
 wire, serving a numlverof subscribers in rach district, luid 
 upon winch they communicate only with the central ofiices. 
 This common wire termlna»e> in a 'elephone secured to the 
 ears of the operator, so that the subscriber speaks directly 
 to the operator without any intermediate switching. The 
 second pair of wires connect the subscribers direct with the 
 central ofijce switchboard, and arc in no way connected 
 with the operator, so that when two subscribers are in 
 communication they have practically a private line. They 
 can neither overhear nor Iw overheard by other subscribeis 
 - not even the operator is allowed to cut in nn their cir- 
 cuit The advantages of the system are obvious. The 
 cipacityof the company's Montr.-alexchange is *.^(x) sub-

 ST. MARY'S COLLEGE. 
 
 As this is the principal public institution of the Canadian 
 Jesuits, it will not bt,- amiss to point out with what memories 
 of Canada, and of Montreal in particular it is linked in the 
 past. The Society of Jesus founded and definitely or- 
 ganized by St. Ignatius uf Loyola, in 1540, had, ''or more 
 ttian half a century^ 1)een sem'ing missionaries into every 
 part of the habtable world. As fast as new lands were 
 discov red m America, they were evangelised by mission- 
 aries (if the Society, lira .il, Peru, I loridi, Mexico, m 
 fact nearly the entire soath^Mi portion of the New World 
 had received its apostles ; >...•? Northern porti'tn and Cpiia

 rock of Champlaio ; ten years 'iter, in loj^, ihey lai 1 
 the foun(iniion> of the college (d t,»ucbtc, destined ',0 be 
 for many years the training scho<d o( Canadian youth in 
 science and virtue. In the previous year, {l(>^.\) a Kesi 
 dence was establis'.cd by Kither Lejeune in the incipient 
 ciiy -if I'hree Rivers. 'Ihe birth of Montreal did n >t come

 -ettlers could be entrusted to devoted hands, they resumed 
 
 their favourite occupation, thi: preaching of the (iospel to 
 the destitute Indians. Towards the end of this peiiod, in 
 the spring of 1(157, I'athei I^Moyne blessed the corner 
 stone of (he ancient sanctuary of Notre l>amc de 
 Uonsecour* {t)ur Lady of (Jood Help). In \'>(i},

 condition. In i''t>2, when the wains of Montreal were 
 on the increase, and the very existence of the cidony was 
 threatened by the incursions of the Indians, the Jesuit 
 Tatheis returned and built wiih'n its walls a house and 
 chajtel. In the same year they enlablished in their c^iapel 
 Ihe Sodal ly of Men. and the Novena in honour <»f St. 
 I'rancis Navi^r, two works that have long outlived their 
 fi'under?. ami which juoduce to this day abundant fruits of 
 silvaiion. Their propeity, including chapel, convent and 
 garden, coveied nearly all the ground now occupied by the 
 ( fiamp de Mars (drilling ground), the Court House and the 
 new City llatl. At a later periwl a church was added and 
 rebuilt on a laiy,er scale in 1742. 'The church fac< d the

 at the clo^e of the past and at the beginning of the present 
 century had paitially passed away, the Society of Je'^us 
 emerge<l from its temporary eclipse, and resumed with un- 
 abated vigour its missionary career. Those countries 
 which most re<|uired assistance, were, of course, first at 
 tended to ; Canada was not actually in want of stiiritual 
 labourers, l)rii she retained a kind remembrance of her 
 early apojtles and was ready to give them a j lyous wel- 
 come ; in the interval succeeding their de,'ariure, the re- 
 sources of the country had greatly developed anti its 
 spiritual necessities had increased with its natural progress. 
 Accordingly, in i8vi> af'er an absence of nearly 40 years, 
 the Society appeared once more on the lunks uf the great 
 St. Lawrence. lather Cha/elle, president of St. 
 Mary's C dlege, Kenlucky, was requested by Kev. Mr. 
 ',»uibli"r, his former pupil and then Superior of the Semin- 
 ary of St. Sulpice, in Montreal, to preach a retreat to the 
 cteigy of this diocese. On that occasion b ^ih priests and

 The I'rovincial Parliament, ahei adding to its priM^ramnie

 gin their cLissical sludes, and also an elementary course 
 for little bids who have special regulations and rereive

 the early inducements to found this college, has lately been 
 dr"ppe<l, because the tee 1 of such a cour-^e is now very 
 «dei|uately met by other nourishing .■(chocils in 'his city,

 ability and (rauiing from I ranee, was the first college in 
 Canada to successfully insist iij^m lit- modem pronun-

 has always been Ivstowed by its wed I bred proles 
 sors upon the el cutionary elTorts of the jiupils. As a 
 c »nsei|uence, the amateur ther.tiicals of ibi'* College have 
 enjoyed more than J5 yeais of a well earneil reputalion

 course, the Church of Jesus. The la'e H'shop of M mi- 
 
 real, Mgr. liourECt. had for many years l)een desirous of 
 seeing a large and handsome church erected on the grounds 
 of St. Mary's Collegeard dedicated to the Sacred Heart of 
 Jesus. At his earnes' solicitation, the hathers, encouraged 
 i)y public approval and trusting in Ihvine Providence, re- 
 solutely undertrok the work ; on St. Jos ph's day, 1864, 
 (March itj), they t>egiin to prepare .lie si'eand a few weeks 
 later building tipcratiruis were commenced. The church 
 wa^ hlesscd and opened for worship on the ^rd l>eceiiiber, 
 1S65 (St. Irancis- Niviei'sday) The services on week 
 days are at the same houi:( as those of the other ('ath<dic 
 city chur hes ; on Sundays and Holy days there is a 
 Irench sermon at High Mass and another at the nicellrg 
 of the Archcon! aternily ; on the-e days there are two ser- 
 mt>n5 in English ; one at the S o'clock Mass. the {ithei at 
 the evening service at S. Thi-i church is j.istlv consider' d 
 one of the most attractive in Montreal, and one of the 
 most )>e;)utirul and soul .satisfying monuments • n this C(m- 
 tin'-nt. It' charge eii-tic feature is that it delii^hts the un- 
 to oied eye as fully as it sitjslies tlie aitit's critical glance. 
 Ihe style IS Morcntine Renaissance. 'Ihe columns are 
 con-.posiie. and somewhat higher than the strict rules of 
 art would approve, but Ihii defect, wdiich architects ahine 
 would noti'-e, enhances the iiglii and et' ereal apprarance 
 of the interior. I- or, like the " Kin^^'s daughter," thf ( iesu 
 is "all glorious within." W'i hout, the unfinished towers 
 cripple the facade. Wiihtn, thi great transepts, figuring 
 the Cro-s ol Christ, tl lod the chancel with softly toned 
 waves of light ; Ihe delicate monochrome^ which adorn 
 t' e walls ard ceiling, reproduce the nfster-nieces of the 
 motlern (iernian school, (he *'rucilixion ot Our Lord, the 
 Most lllc^sed Trinity, the i^>ueen 'f Angels, the Ifoly 
 Name of Je.sus at the intersection of the transepts and the 
 nave, the Ijimb of (J'd, jesus in the midst of th*^ Doctors, 
 Jesus with Mary and Jos''ph at Na/areth, Jesus blessing 
 little cldldren, raising Iji^^arus from the dead, Jesus as the 
 Ciood Shepherd, Jesus appciring U> St. Thomas after the 
 Resurrection, the scenes drawn frrni 'he his'oy of the 
 Jes'iitj ; the s!)lendiii oil paintings by (iagliardl Itrothers, 
 of Rome, are lull of colour and life ; the variegated nltars, 
 s xteen in numlter, L^st of which are made of Canadian 
 woods, all lead up to the high or central altar with its 
 large chancel and elegantly inl:ii<l floor, on which, at high 
 festivals, the well-tr'ined sanctuary boys throng around the 
 Holy of Holies. The choir of this church is justly c^le 
 brated. Santley. the great baritone, who sang lately at the 
 (iesu, after praising the acoustic singing properties of the 
 church, comi)lim'nted Professor Clerk on the extraordinary 
 excellence of his choir. The ^tuden's' choir is also de- 
 fcrving of praise for the wh'>le heartcdne s with which they 
 join in the vocal worship of C.ifl, 1 in som? great feast, 
 such as Christmas, Kaster or Whitsunday, the Church of 
 the fiesu is at its outward Iwst. Tfen the tasteful decora- 
 tions, the perfectly trained choir and the full orchestia well 
 lietit the anthems (>f Divine pr.it=e wh'ch ri^e from the 
 allar. centre of all Catholic worship, and which are voiced 
 and luminously portrayed in the practical, earnest and 
 th'ughtful 1- rench and Knglish sermons for which the 
 I iesu is especially famous Put every week day there 
 goes on in that graceful temple a silent, t' ough still more 
 impressive, work of dady adoration in spiiit and in truth 
 of conversion from backsiidings and error, of strong striv- 
 ing towards all that i- 'rue and pure and everlasting.

 |As. Wai.kfk t5-' ( n.. Dealers in Builders' ami Cabinet- 
 makers' Hardware, -234 H*. (ames stteet. — lor nearl) half a 
 century the name of Mr. jas. Walker has been f.\miliar to 
 the biisiness world of Montreal, and during this extended 
 period he has not only Imllt up a business of magnitude, 
 lul has exerted a c(ni>iderable influence in the advance 
 nient of the c mnierce as well as the building interests of 
 the city. Tlirse facts briefly stated, speak vtdumes for the 
 'uisiness, as it is now conducted uinler the firm name of 
 Mtssrs. lames Walker i. t'u. As dealers in bu'l^^er^' and 
 uphilstery hardware, few houses in the Dominion equal 
 
 the desirable business career o( this reliable firm. The 
 heatiipiatters are centrally mid eligii)ly Io:ated at 2^4 St. 
 JameK t^treet, and are suitable and commodious, and owing 
 to the rapid gr<>wih of business a large branch has for 
 many years been in succcs!^ful operation at vl.i ' '"O't-' 
 street, and orilei* left at either hiuse receive Hie most 
 caieful attention. In order that some idea may be formed 
 of the standing of Messrs. Walker ^' ' (.0., as dealers in 
 llieir lines, and as represeniati\e business men, it must lie 
 meniinned that they supplied builder,' hardware and fur 
 nishings for the cream of Montreal's largest and mo^t beau 
 liful public buildings. Some of these are the C.I'. K. 
 Winusnr street depot, and also the (.I'.R. depot, the 
 Royal, tlie Sun Life, the New \ ork l.tfe and the Imperial 
 Insurance Companies' buildings and others, all of which 
 goes to t.h<nv that the hardware handled by tliis firm is 
 always the very l>est obtainable. The stock carried in the 
 spacious store on St. James sl'eet embraces builders' hard 
 uare and house furnishings of aU descriplio.i', and in the 
 long list <tl gomls, '/hich it is impossible to detail, are 
 found i-hoice productions from celebrated American ami 
 I'^nglihlt factories, which for tjualily and duraliliity are 
 u'lsurpasj-ed. At the branch on Craig street, a full ami 
 C)mplete assortment ol cc>'nei maker s and upholsterer's 
 supplies is on hand, t .e being used exclusively for 
 
 these lines. Here lie olitained ca.steis, chair backs 
 
 and l.iittoms, bra- ' .s, for desks, tables, drawers, etc., 
 as well as all hea. les tfiat come under upholsterer's 
 
 supiilies Suitable warehouses are pnnided at l>oth places 
 of buiiiiness and iiDinense f<uppHes are kept on hand con- 
 tinually. The laci that at the headquarters on St. [imes 
 street 2; competent hands are employed will give some 
 idea of the magnitude and extent of the business. Messrs. 
 Walker ^5~• Co. are favoured with the patronage of the lead- 
 ing contractors of the city, and iiave a standard reputation 
 among the builders throughout the province. From the 
 fxreg.jing it will be easily seen thai industry and ability 
 loupled with the highest integritj will win llieir way, for 
 .ndeeil the history of itiis solid and progressive business 
 house is a pleasant proof of this fact. The individual 
 rrembers of this tirtr are possessed in a ntarked degree of 
 those sterling qualities Ir.dispensable to success, are piqui 
 lat in business ar. I s iciui circles and renin the good will 
 and respect of all whoai any time have had dealings with 
 them.

 aljles, Meals, Poultry, etc.. 47 'j HIeury street. The 
 tr.vle that is perhaps the most necessary to the wel- 
 f.iie of the t'eneral public is thai of the dealer in 
 meats and poultry. It is from him thai nicai, veget 
 allies, etc, are to be obt.iined in all their variety, 
 from the cheapfsl ti; the nl0^t expenive, Am >ng llio-e

 /.eiir, Mr. A. l.esperancc occupies a promin.:nl place. His 
 
 liusiness is carrietl on at No, 47 ' ; lUeury street, a position 
 suited t») his purpose in every way, being midway between 
 the upper and lower pnrts of the town. The windows of 
 his store .ire generally filled wiih a variety of the aiiitles t ) 
 be found within, inviting a visit from many pas^rs by. 
 The stock is varied, comprising the best (piality of meat of 
 all kimis, game, poultiy, oysters, tish, canned god-, fruits 
 and vegetables. These gO' ds are all of the liiiest and as 
 fresh as it is possible to get them. In the summer the 
 meat, etc , is kept in laige refrigerators, thus, pre-erving i* 
 an<l ensuring satisfaction on the part of his many custom- 
 ers. Since the foundation of his business in ibe year 1S7J 
 h* 111.'; been steadily advancing until al present he fur- 
 nishes employment to seven experienced men. wi'h whose 
 assistance he endeavours to attend to the wants o| his many 
 patrons. Owing to his extensive practical experience Mr. 
 Lespprance is enabled to purchase goods of the best quali 
 ty, sui;e<i to his customer;.' tastes, and supply them ■'t rales 
 as low as asked elsewhere for inferior goods. Thai be en- 
 joys the confidence and esteem * I a large and ever increas- 
 ing circle of friends is proved by the trade which is done 
 by him. The raosl scrupulous cleanliness prevails. 
 
 John Ml kihv, Painter and Decorator, and Dealer in 
 Rare Paintings, etc., Jjoi St, Catherine street.-- Among 
 the many business houses situated in the west end of Mont- 
 real, that of Mr. John Murphy mu-'t be considered as one 
 of the oldest. This business was established in iSfii and 
 since thai lime Mr. Murphy has been ac ivc ly eiigayed in 
 painting and decorating the interiors of many of Mont 
 real's largest houses, situated in tlie western part of the 
 city. He also enjoys a destrveil reputalior which extend ; 
 l>eyond the city limits, and embraces a large area of the 
 surrounding country The s*ore and worKsbops rjccupied 
 by th s house are very large, having a lioniage on St. 
 Catherine street of iS feet, nnd running back 1 lo feel, 
 and consisting of two flats. During the '•prmi; a-ul ^^um 
 mer seasons Mr. Murphy employs a very large number of 
 workmen, all of whom are th.orougtdy skilled in their dif- 
 fetent branches of painting, decoratir.n, p.\per hanging, 
 etc. Mr. Murphy persanally superintriids the work of his 
 men engaged in house-decoraiing, o( which he makes a 
 specialty. The store situated at 2^01 S'. Catherine street, 
 is artistically arranged inside, and here may b- seen artistic 
 wall pajiers, of which Mr. Murphy has always a large 
 slock on hand. Hefides these be deals in artists' materi?ds 
 of every kind, pictures, both in oils and wal*r colours, also 
 etchings and steel engravings The variety of paintings 
 and pictures is very choice, and shows that Mr. Murphv is 
 a true connoisseur, and canappieciate the palmer's art in the 
 bi^I..' ; degre". This branch of his bi:siness ha', brouyh'. 
 him a laige pationage. The walls of many homes in thi- 
 city aie more beautiful because of adornment by handscni :

 prictois. curntT (-"raii; Street and Victoria Sijuaie. Kituca- 
 tion, like everything el«e in the world, is butij«ct to the law 
 nf practical neceuity (hat regulates all monies of human 
 activity for economic ends. Its ptimaiy aim is general 
 culture, the "all round " development thai promotes the 
 highest type of character. Kut while for a ticre the acad 
 emic metho<ls of itudy are the same for all pupils, general 
 courses at length give place to special courNes in which 
 ac<[uired knowledge is adapted and applied to special 
 channels or modei of tloing. To walk forever alorg the 
 tlowery paths which invite the student to pursue knowledge 
 for the sake of culture is the privilege of the favimied few ; 
 the multitude are obliged to take n mor<» rug^.ed way, and 
 turn their inteUeclual wares to prolii. The stiong bias of 
 opii'jon in favour of specific, i)ractical methotU in educa 
 tion as |)ursued in institutes of technology, in schonts of 
 art nnd manual trainirg, agricultural, medical, military, 
 and commercial colleges and the like, >hows the tentlency 
 of thought in this country today, the spirit of the times, 
 which demands for all kinds of workers the skilful adapta- 
 tion of means to ends. In a progressive country like ours, 
 where all must work, ability to do must keep pace with 
 the rapid development of resources and growth of burli- 
 ness. ( )ld methods of doing must be abandoned, and new 
 and letter ones learned, Itecause of the phenomenal expan 
 sion in every department of human endeavour. And 
 dest ile the objections urged against sin.h a course, there 
 \s> much to l>e said in favour of making trainirg fur si>ecial 
 vocations the special work of the school. In this connec 
 tion it is exceptionally [gratifying to make menti'tn of an 
 institution, the duty of wh ch is to impart an education 
 specially adapted U* the re<iulremenls of business life, 
 namely, the Montreal Husincss College, conducted by 
 Messrs I )avis C^ Huie. 1 his college was established in 
 connection with the llyrant l- Strailon iniernati<'nal cha'n 
 of business colleges, located m the j^r'ncipal cities of Can- 
 ada and the I'nited Stntes. It commenced its career <if 
 usefulness in Nordheimer's building away bick in 1^(14 and 
 in the following year was moved to I'lace d'Armes, where 
 it has remained for the extended period of cjvcr a '|uarter of 
 a century. The accommndation in these iiuarteis had 
 long proven imidetjute and on July 1st., of the p esent 
 year, the college remove<l to the Victoria Klock, corner of 
 Craig street and \ictoria Sijuare (late the \. M. C. A. 
 building) This building is trum a point nf completeness 
 and suitability for the purpose of a bu'iiness college, unsur 
 pass'd in Canada. The location, it will lje seen, is most 
 eligible, and is all that could be desired ; it is the must 
 cential, the most accessible, and has the best possible sur- 
 roundings. A description o( the inst'tution throughout is 
 well embodied in the word *• complete," and the sub 
 division of the space into cla^-s rooms, lecture- rooms, 
 ollices, etc., U eminently well adapted to the requirements. 
 Tue lighting, beating and ventilation of the building are 
 
 |>erffct The rot>ms ate finished with gteit caie. the 
 decorations are harmonious and pleasing, an<l the lurniturc 
 ami appointments cf the most appiove<l style. The 
 arrangement of space has liecn made with a view to estab 
 lishitig (he coursie of stutly upon broader lines, and with 
 rek-rence to larger and l«tter results. The curriculum of 
 the Montreal llusine>s College is of a thoroughly practical 
 character theory holds but a secondary position and it 
 is the aim of the proprietor, in each department, to niakc 
 it an actual counterpart of what a young roan may expect 
 lo meet when he enters a bu»iness house. Thi; principal 
 subjects taught are bookkeeping, arithmetic, p»:nmanshtp, 
 correspondence, commercial law and business forms, prac 
 tical grammar, coni position, s|>eUing and puncluAlicn, 
 shorthand, typewriting and l rench ; but this enuroeratioti 
 altords a \ct\ inad-'ijuate idea of what is done to budd up 
 a young man in the rc<|Uisiies of a business li^e. The 
 study of lM)okkeeping has always Iwen and remains one o| 
 the most important subiects of the course. 'I'he work in this 
 subject is very thorout h and extends from the simplest to 
 the most complete and complicated forms, and embracer 
 the whole subject of the ** science of accounts." 
 Although bookk<e,)ing holds such an important positpm 
 M IS not alloweil to overshadow other subjects e<|ualty iui 
 pottant. The proldcms anil methrxls in arithmetic arc 
 carefully adjusted to business demand.^ and embrace all 
 that is newest and l>est in counting-house practice. Kxer- 
 cises are given in rapid calculation that all may learn not 
 only to work accurately but rapidly. The instruction in 
 penmanship is designed to produce neat, plain and rapid 
 work, without tlishguring and mystifying tlourishes. In 
 fact there is no one thing for which the college is more 
 famous than for the targe number of thorough'y trained 
 penmen it has turned out. Ilxtended and varie<I exercises 
 in wri'ing all kinds of letters are given, and throughout 
 the whole i:our'e the subject of business correspondence is 
 given the prominence its importance demands. In ci-m 
 rrercial law those parts of the subject that every businesH 
 m:in should unilerstand for his prr>teclion and guidance are 
 taught. To those who recjuire it, irsiruction is given in 
 practical grammer, composition and spelling. Many fail 
 lo make a practical use <>f their knowledge of shorthand 
 I)ecause of their lack of ability to express their thoughts in 
 writing with ea>e and accuracy. A knowledge of the 
 practical features of Knglish grammar is an absolute essen- 
 tial to the success of a reporter or amanuensis in trnn 
 scribing his notts. In addition to these courses is the 
 practical department, a characteristic feature of this col- 
 lege, where the students have opportunities of putting into 
 practice whnt has beea actiuired in (he other departments 
 of the school. What the parade ground is (o the military 
 college, the field to the agricultural college, the dissecting 
 room and hospital to the medical college and the moot court 
 to the law school, the practical department is to the 
 thoroughly equipped busineu college. Occupying the 
 
 pos'tion which this <ichool doeii m the commercial metro 
 polls of the I >'>minion, an<l kmmit g that it is and must U- 
 acc'.'pted as a representative institution of its kind, Messrs. 
 Davis tSr* Huie have spared nothing to meet these demands. 
 In short it has lieen the work of this institution from its 
 foundation to meet the requirements of business in a city 
 which is in itself the embodiment of all that is l>est and most 
 progressive. Nothing lietler and nothing truer can Iw said 
 of its couise of study than that it has l>een sha|>ed by the 
 exactions of the leatbng Montreal busineiis houses, Messrs. 
 Oavis i"- Huie have proved themselves to l>e the right men 
 in the right place, and are both gentlemen of 1 leasing 
 address, of education, erudition and ability. Mr. Davit 
 has lieen engaged In the a' vancement ut this college ever 
 since its inceptii n so many years ago. In fact there has 
 l)een no complete change of proprietorship since its found- 
 ation, and it now enjoys that sort ol resoect and conhdence 
 an institution of such establisheil i>eimanency deserves. 
 It has an influence anil standing in the business comnn nity 
 without parallel, and is ac knowledge <l to t>e the best 
 medium in this country tor giving a practical busineu 
 educaiion. In (he view of \ ictoila S'juare, on page ^\,

 I'niled States. He has been in practice since 1859, 
 and has gained a very extensive reputation by his 
 successful treatment and many cures. Formerly he was 
 located at 49 Heaver Mali Terrace, but now his surgery 
 and consulting rooms are situated at the corner ofDrum- 
 mond and St. Catherine streets. Dr. Thayer has had con 
 siderably uver twenty years experience in the special

 »trret.~rrofninent inumK the leading t'lrniK of Montreal is 
 the houfce of Willie •Sf Co., No. 1824 Notre Dame itreet. 
 KstaliHrhfd 15 yearn ago, it has kept sleadily on from 
 year In yf ar until a* prevent ihey find themselves 
 in the front ranks of the trade in Canada, and with a capi* 
 tat of $300,000 to woik upon. The head othces and 
 warerooms are situated on Noire Dame street, (near Mc- 
 tiill street) comprising two spacious and well lighted apart- 
 ments, with a repair shop and tuning rooms. Although 
 these premises are largr and »uilcd to their business the 
 Irnde of the firm lian increased to such an extent that thry 
 have under consideration the erection of a buiUIIng that 
 will be a credit to the city and to the trade. They employ 
 the services of some fotty a-^sistants in Montreal, and an 
 etjual numlter outside, in the various branch offices, in 
 Ktslern Ontario, (.>uebec. Nova Scotia antl Prince b'.dward 
 Ulaiid. Mr. A. I'. Willis is hradof the firm and although 
 .1 resident of Montieal for many years, he is a native of 
 Nova Scoti», never mivsing an oppoitunity of saying so. 
 Messrs. j. V. and J. 11. Willis, of Stcllarlon and Halifax, 
 N.S., arr manageiit of the branches in the L )wer Pro- 
 vinces attending to the large Imt-inecs tn that section in a 
 most able iranner. Willis 6^ Co. are sole wholesale and 
 retail a4;erts fcr the Canadian piano manufacturing concerns 
 of K. S, WilliatnK v ' So% ol Toronto, the Hell Organ and 
 I'iano Co. Ltd. of (iuelph, the I'xbiidge Organ and Tiano 
 Co. of Canada and the Untied States. In addition to the 
 above they are the suir repr<:sentatives in the IVovtnce of 
 i^iuelKC i>f the Knalw Tiano Co. of Dalliniore and New- 
 York, lielievlng that the Canadian (leople are a« well able 
 to appreciate a good article (when they can get ii) as 
 Kurnpean or Ameiican buyers. Messrs. Willis tSr* Co. have 
 selected the Inghfst grade of instruments made and are 
 pushing them rapidly to the front. The hrm is highly 
 rated as an old metcanti'e houite in Montreal, Iwing notetl 
 for its laige heattrd l)u^inflS views, purciuality of its pay- 
 ments, it4» pa|>rr t>eing recogni/ed as gilt edge<l in all the 
 ^anks and manufacturing esial>lishments. The bulk of 
 Iheir business is Canadian, i^rir purchases of Hell pianos 
 and organs and Williams planus amour ting to ovrr $aoc>,- 
 0(X). At the saire time Ihey are pronounced to lie (as 
 may be eakily wntird at ihf Cyvinm lli-use) the mo>t ex 
 tensive importi tk of Amer cin high clas^ pianos These 
 im)HtTtations are solely of tha* grade piano not made in 
 Canada, the Knalte piano l>eing nn instrument that costs as 
 much at three ordinary Canautaii or American pianos. These 
 instrum mts are sold u^untlv tn t^e rich and cultured, or the 
 besttraired students I the piano forte. Willis ^< o. have 
 aided materially in furthering the intereata of high closa 
 muilc and musical entertainment! in Montreal, their 
 
 pUnot bting uied by nich artiiti as Dr. Hani Von Bulow 
 
 and Kugene d'Allwrt, and in fact the Ktiale piano .inil 
 \\iost who use it possess a reputation and a pre-eminence un 
 purchased and un purchasable. That Messrs Willis <> 
 Co. are recognised OS the most active and intluen-ial Hrm 
 of piano dealers in the Dominion is evidenced by the fact 
 of lirms buch as the Hell syndicate with a capital of 1 *^ 
 millions of dollars, and the wealthy 5rm of Williams ^ 
 Co. of Toronto and Oshawa, selecting them to l)e then 
 sole Canatlian agents. The tirm is well and favourably 
 known in ihe I'nited States and Kngland, Iteing acknowl- 
 edged by the leading musical journals to l>e the most en- 
 terpriains niano dealers on this con'inent. 
 
 John Allan, Men's Hatter and Outhiter, 659 to (>6.s 
 Craig ftreet, near HIeury street. — The name of "Allan' 
 has Itecome almn*t as familiar as a hi'Useliuld word am -ng 
 the general public of Montreal, as that leptesenting one of 
 the largest and be t men's furnishing estatdishments in the 
 city. Mr. Allan is a young man. full of energy andrnier- 
 pTi«ie, he is well known lor \\* integrity and ttraightfor- 
 ward dealing, and his wonderful success and the rapid ex 
 tension of his stores during the short period he has licen 
 in businrs*, makes him well worthy of special nntict^ in 
 this liiMorical review. Mr. Allan b'gan business in 1887 
 and ha« met with wonderful, yet eminently well deservetl 
 succesii. He was crrdited with consideralile nerve by his 
 Montreal com|tetitors when he of>ened a men's furnishing 
 store on Ciaig street, thi-t not having lieen considered a 
 business locality. Hut with his ^hr^wd conception r>f what 
 business methoils ought to tie, he felt contident iha' sue 
 cess could only lie attaineil byofUtring special inducements 
 to the public to buy. He has therefore oli<rred 1114 goodn at 
 the lowest po-isible prices, <;»»'/ Ai- >i/so ttJ/'/fi/ th* »»/,• ,•/ 
 tiiit'/'tiuf; thf 'tfuru t'f any ai/ii/i- thai Ami ifni,:i to /'/,;i<,- 
 the fMr,kast'\ providing the same had not l»een injured by 
 use. He ha« also endeavoured 10 make things plea^nt for his 
 en^ployres, thetehy ^(culing their active co operation in 
 his business. He is a lib ral advertiser and sparer no ex 
 pense to make hts place of buMness attractive. The pre 
 mises occupietl are centrally located and are in every way 
 adai>ted to the rM]uiiements of the enormous trade carri^'d 
 '•n by Mr. Allan. They an* eijusl in extent to fmir 
 nrdi ary stores, with large plate glass windows, antl three 
 imposing entrances, and are certainly the most attractive 
 on Craig »tr?el. The novel style in which the windows 
 are always dressed is proved by the fact tha' crowds of 
 l>edestrians are con^Tanily admiring the great variety of 
 articles disr^layed therein. The interior is even more 
 pleasing and attractive, twing titled up regardless of cost ; 
 the whole place is lighted by electricity, and the cash rail- 
 way lystem is in uie, large plate gliisa show cases are on 
 the cotintcn and mi up in tb« ttorat for the display of rich 
 
 goods, giving facility in Neiviig customers and aflording 
 ease to those engaged in the stores. Although it would 
 be iniiH»s:>tlde in this brief sketch to detail the immense 
 stock carrietl, the separate departments may thus be brief- 
 ly described. At 650 the slock of boots and shoe ire kept 
 on the first tUt, and on the second flat, travelling trunk* 
 and valtses 'he third flat being used for shirt manufactur- 
 ing and other purposes. No, fidi is devoted to men's 
 neckwear, shirts, collars, culls, gloves, men's jewellery and 
 small furn.»hings. No. 66) is devoted to mens' underwear, 
 hobiery, umbrellas, rubber coats and sporting goods, »uch 
 as tennis jackets, boating md outing shirts, etc. — and at 
 665 can lie found one of the Urgent and best assorted stocks 
 of men's hat* and caps to be found in Canada, Every de- 
 partment is under the management of experienced sales- 
 men, who are always prepared to gi\e prompt and 
 courteous attention to customer*. Mr. Allan is a native 
 of Scotland and a keen business man who buys only for 
 cash, not allowing any bills to run over thirty days. He 
 employs 14 assistants, and enjoys a large share of patronage 
 from the residents of Montreal. Mis uni<|ue methiKls of 
 advertising have made his name familiar everywhere. I If is 
 popular in social and business circles, and a favourite 
 among " The Hoys" of Montreal.

 ftihi HrAvy HftrdwAre, Railway, Mill and Mineri'Suppliei, 
 etc.( 377 St. I'aul itreet— The nianufacturcri' Agent ii a 
 very important factor in the tranuciion of the ceneral 
 butine't of the country, Ai the lepiCHfntative of varioui 
 manufaclurert* he it able in very many caies to nupply a 
 cuMomer with goods to lictier advantage than the latter 
 could get them hy applying direct to a maker, and ol 
 coarse it Roea without saying that he will sell aK cheaply at 
 the manufacturer will. On the other hand, the manufac 
 turer it benefited by dealing through an agent, as the 
 number of lines he rrpresenls gives him a large connec- 
 tion and enables him to do the business mnre cheaply t^an 
 the maker could who has only one line to oMer. On the 
 whole, therefore, the advantage lies in dealing with the 
 agent. A Montreal hrm of manufacturers' agents who 
 have a very eateniive business is that of Hacon Itruthen, 
 who deal in lines of carriage and heavy hardware of all 
 kinds. The list of their agencies will at once establish 
 this fact. They represent the (janano<iue f(ini.) Spring 
 and Axle Company; Geo. (iillieSt <Januno«|ue, manufac- 
 turer of carriage hardware and drop forgings of alt kintls, 
 >teel tubular bow socket, bolts, nuti. etc. ; McKinnon 
 Dash and Hardware Company, St. Catharines, manufac 
 turers of leather dashes and fenders, whip sockets, ruitain 
 lights, knobf, toe rails, etc., etc.; Kingston Oil and Kn 
 amelled Cloth Company, Kingston; Marlatt and Aim 
 strong, Oakville, carriage and saddlery leather ; the 1), V . 
 Jones Manufacturing Company, (iananoi|ue, shovels,

 manufacturers of wringers, etc.; the Automatic Knife Cum 
 pany of Canada, (iananoiiae, manufactuten of patent 
 automatic pocket knives, and in addition to these they deal 
 in carriage wheels and lient >>tuflr. It will thua be seen that 
 the volume of business done is very extensive, fur the mem 
 hers of the firm are ettergetic men and push their trade in 
 every direction, llwy have well established business c<in- 
 nections in all parts of Canada, and are constantly tilling 
 orders loi goods which iii most cases are shipped direct 
 from the .Tiakers to the purchasers. Messrs. Uacon are 
 well and favourably known to the butiness community of 
 Montreal. They are members of the Hoard of Trade and 
 are actively interested in all matters pertaining to the pro 
 motion of the city's trade. Their reputation for straight-

 Bani.iik Vil.tK Makik, 151 St. James' itreet.— The 
 d^T ami nibstantial growth of Mcmtreal in Ute yean 
 hat been a natter for ttw admiration and surpriie of many 
 people, the tine buildings erected and other enterprises 
 that have been set in motion, showing a wonderfnl degree 
 of energy and ability on the part ol those who have m m- 
 aged them. On the surface, this ii seemingly due to (He 
 capabiUties of the promoters, b t in reality if it were not 
 for the financial aid, snd the powerful backing of the 
 b«aking corporations of ihe city, the commerce of Mont- 
 real, and indeed of the Pominlon, would in many cases 
 suffier severely. One of the most prominent and solid banks 
 in Montreal 1* *he " Bank Ville Marie," whose bead office 
 under the conduct of Mr. V. (iarand, is located at No, 
 ij; St. Jamea street. This institution was founded in 
 the year 1872, and has sinct ttiat date, by the careful and 
 at the same time enterprising management of the directors, 
 progrciaed iteadily and now stands in the front rank of 
 hnancial corporations in Canada. The report for the vear 
 ending May 31, 1H90, shows that a very satisfactory busi- 
 neM Eu been done, the capital of the bank being now 
 $500.00000. with a reserve fund of $10,00000. The 
 profits (or last year reached the sum of $43.452. 1 1, and of 
 this amount dividenHi were paid to the extent of 
 $33,547.70. ConsidcHng the state of general depret«ion 
 throoghoat the country due to the depreciation o| cropi, 
 etc., this balance reflects great credit • n the manacement, 
 which, notwithstanding the many (lifTicultics in their way 
 have succeeded in making this handsome profit for the 
 benefit of the fhareholderi. The branches of the bank 
 throvgbottt Canada, have, according to custom, been in- 
 spected and all matters connected with them fount! in a 
 satisfactory state. Mr. W. Weir is president of the bank, 
 and supervises the general operations. The actual man- 
 agement is looked after by Mr. L'. Oarand, the cashier, 
 assisted by twelve competent clerks. Mr. (iarand is a 
 gentleman well known in the commercial world as a aun 
 of integrity, keen foresight, and linancial ability, and is, 
 needk»s to say, thoroughly conversant with all bsnking

 possibility for many, .'^inre thi: estalilishment of the con- 
 cern ill 1854, its record for Nrjunre dealing and prompt set- 
 
 tlement of lossis hat Ikmh unbroken. I In- hui cess nf this 
 cor|Mtralion is due in the careful and ai ihrsanie lime t-nergeiic 
 way in which the managcnient have condurinl the afiairx of 
 the compnii). As an evidence iil the »a\ iluy meet Iheir 
 l(isse<i, the following item is rlii>|K*i| from a < hicago |w|>cr nf 
 1M71 relative to the ^reat (ire tliat took plare there in that 
 year. " Immeiliately after the fire, liovermu U'well, one of 
 (he lead ng directors met ihe cnni|taii\'s general agent Mr. 
 Ma^ill In C'hiea^n, ami pri>cee<leil to investigate ihesialeof 
 affairs. The comtnunity was found deeply impressed uilli 
 (he idea thai thr t ompanit-< were nil irrelrievaMy Imnk 
 rupted and that nothing biil ruin was liefore them. A 
 crowd had ^athere<l and it seemed imiiorlant to s,itisfy the 
 (leople (hat the (oiniianies had not nil U-en iwralyied, or 
 shorn of their slren^th ; < lov. jewell nionnieii a Ntx, find 
 anmiuncetl to the crowd that the rh<inix was vound, and 
 wnulil |>ay dollar for dollar. This sounded well enough. 
 Iiut proof was wanteil. Mr. Hrowit, the local agent, succ<m^- 
 ed in (inding atnon^ those preHcnt a sutferer under 
 I'hunix |)olicy, Mr. Isaac C. Oay, who held a $10,000 
 polic) on his Imilding. Mix loss was shown without doulit to 
 have been in excess of (hat sum. and waiving' further proofs, 
 a draft fi>r the reipiired amount was prepnreii and signed on 
 Ihe spot." Boston followed < hir.igo, and $386,000 more 
 was [tail! in the following year for the c<tin|>any*s losses in 
 that rity. Itui Ihe ** llvi nix" was able to prompll) meet 
 the demand, heavy as it was, without n call ujMtn the sioi k- 
 hotders, nor wa» there .1 moment's stopiiage in the machinery 
 during these trying years, or as another writei et(M|uenlly 
 adds ; "Though the remarks of dinernor Jewell ronlninefl 
 no suggestion of oratorical display, no other s|ieerh ever de- 
 li\ere<l in the Lake City compressi-d into a few wurds m> 
 much cheer and helpfulness, or ihangefl smpiickly nndelfec 
 lively Ihe tem|»er of the people. As (he news Hpread from 
 one to ano'her, the multitude cheered, and cried and laughed 
 by turns. l-rom overhurdtned hearts ihc vnj>ors liegan (o 
 roll away, as even (hen ilie clouds of smoke were drifting 
 from the scene, and as if her baptismal name had Iven 
 selected in anticipation ol Ihe evi-nl, Uilh company and city 
 r<->se f rom the ashes stronger '.han Iwfore." The re|nilation 
 earn<-d at that lime has l>een kept up ever since, the com 
 
 ^^any spreading; its branches throughoiil ihe countr)-. The 
 lead oOtce for Canada is at No. 1 14 .St. lames ^.triet, under 
 the management of Mr. ( lerald K. Hart. Intig known as one 
 ol the nromincnt hre underwriters of Canada. The deposit 
 with tne Canadian ( lovemment for the security of i(S)>oIiry 
 holders is $130,000. Many more facts with regard to thi-t 
 (omimny might Ik* brought forward, Imt the alxAC are 
 sutticienl (n show tha( it is one of the U-st and {wrhaps the 
 strongest (ire insurance corporations on the continent, and 
 therefore worthy of the sup|Ktrl of all those who wish to 
 secure thcmsclv&t against Iitss by lire.

 Canadian C(irk Ci ttini; Cumi-any, John Auld pro- 
 f ri«tor, 643 I.«eaucheti«re street — It would lie extremely 
 difficult tu name a more important branch of industry than 
 that of manufacturing corki. About m quarter of a cen- 
 tury ago nut only Montreal, but the whole of Canada was 
 but pfiorly represented in this important line of manu^uc- 
 ture, but during that period several large factories have 
 been built, and at the present day Montreal can cope with 
 any other citv of limilar »ize in the world in this respect. 
 One of the leading houKs of the Dominion, engaged in 
 this connection in thia city, is that of the Canaditn Cork 
 Cutting Company, of which Mr. John Auld is the propne 
 tor. The busineu was founded twenty-ftve years ago by 
 Messrs. Evans, Mrrcer 6^ Son, who. in turn, were suc- 
 ceetled by W. J. Mathews, S. 11. ^ A. S. Kwing, and 
 then in 1872 by the present proprietor, Mr. John Auld. 
 The enterprise has made wonderful progress during the 
 last 15 years, which, at the same time, was well deserved.

 ery for the manufacture ol cork for uses of all tlescripiions. 
 All kinds uf corks are kept on hand and cut to i^rder ;

 capsules, cane bottle baskets, and many other things 
 which it would be inipossitde to mention in this brief 
 sketch. As many as 35 skdied hands are continually em- 
 ployed, and saii3f<\ction is guaranteed to all patrons. Mr- 
 Auld is a gentleman of ripe experience in this business, 
 and much of the 'uccess of the company is doe to his un- 
 tiring elTurts, energy and superior aliility. He gives the 
 closest personal attention to the calls of his customers, 
 and as a consetjuence has secured a buiiness which is de- 
 sirable and enviable in every respect, while it is conducted

 **TiiK Univkrsai.," (i. W. Clarke, proprietor, 23S and 
 240 St. James itrcet.— Ol the maoy retail ktnres un St. 
 Jamei ttreet there aie probably none that attract auch gen- 
 eral attention ai the '* I'mverial/* at Nob. 238 and 240. 
 Mr. Clarke, the propiielor of this justly celebrated fancy 
 goods fctore, is a gentleman well known in commercial 
 circles ir? Montreal as one of the most enterprising and 
 •uccessful retail merchant* m ihe city. He has had many 
 years' experience in hit particular line and is thorougfaly 
 competent to carry on the large and ever increasing trade 
 which the public accord to him. His business has tiecn 
 carried on since 1871, with the exception of a rather disas- 
 trous break which occurred in December la t. This was 
 caused by a fire, which completely ruined tbe mo>t of his 
 itock. N"twlthfttandtng this, Mr. Clarke, with hi^ usual 
 pluck and enterprise, started again the next day, moving 
 across the street to tbe tdd <,>ueen's Huilding. The build- 
 ing at 238 and 240 hat during the interval been repaired, 
 and the '* Universal" has again licen installed in its old 
 place, more beautiful and resplendent than at tirst. The 
 fittings and interior arrangements uf the " I'niversal " are 
 perfect, and undoubtedly surpass those of any other store 
 of its kind in Montreal, or, indeed, in Canada. Ttie num- 
 ber and size of the show cases may be imagined when it 
 is said that there is something like 500 leet of plate glass 
 show cases, all filled with choice gouds. All other littings 
 are in accordance with this, affording a m'ist pleasing 
 spectacle to the eye of the observer. To describe the 
 beauties of the slock in all its cimptetenrss would l>e im 
 possible; however, some faint idea luay be gathered from 
 tbe following : Among the many objects of ait may be 
 mentioned framed engravings, etchings, pastels, photo- 
 graphs that are really aitistic. and others of this class. I»c 
 tides piano, table and banquet lamps, with plain and hand- 
 painted sha'les, china bric-a-brac, bronze hgures, pictures 
 and easels. The above mentionei) goods are found on the 
 second floor ; on the first floor the scene presented tu the 
 beholder it pos-tively entrancing. Here is arranged the 
 finest stock in the l>jminion of fancy goods of every 
 description, from the smallest and cheapest to the most 
 elaborate and costly. A 8{>ecialty is made of line leather 
 goods, such ns ladies' and gentlemen's purses, hand bags, 
 pocket books, card and letter cases, at prices to suit all 
 cuttomern. A fine line of ShttVietd cutlery is also handled, 
 particular attention being given to pocket cutlery and car- 
 vers, lets of which can be obtained from $7 to $25 each 
 The assortment of toilet articles is one to make an ex 
 ((uisite enviout; the oxidiceil silver toilet cases in 
 wood, ^ V , ladies' glove and handkerchief boxes and work 
 cases fitted with good cutlery, b ushcs, mirror-, button- 
 hooks, and a thousand-and-one other articles in silver, IhuH 
 oxidized and plain, A select assortment of jewellery in all 
 the latest styles is always -m hand and can l>e lelied on 
 to give satisfaction. Itut the stationery department mu«t 
 not be forgotten. Thii is tpendidly equipped with all the 
 best stationery from Marcut Ward <5-' Co., UrUa&t ; John 
 Walker C" Co., London ; the Whiting Paper Com|>any, 
 New \'ork, and other leading makcm. The prices of all 
 stitionery are low ; it being the rule of thi establishment to 
 give the l>est goo<U at lowest >atei. However, thebe«t and 
 most pleasing way to know all about the *• Universal " Is 
 to go and see for yourtelf. Vou can alwayt be sure of a 
 welcome from the genial proprietor and his numerous 
 tuiitantt. 
 
 David Kka &* Co., (;eneral Importers of Knglish 
 French and lierman (joxU, 30 Ho-pital street. — The im- 
 porting business is far more extensively carried on than one 
 would be inclined to suppose, and though many think that 
 Canada is still a slaughtering house for the surplus gutKis 
 of Kurope, the real fact lies in capital and superior quality 
 in work and material. There are certain lines, hot* ever, 
 that cannot be had in Canada, consequently the one who 
 is enterprising enough to import these needful articles must 
 do a large and profitable business. Messrs. David Kea v" 
 Co. not only import largely froiu the Knglish and French 
 markets but from Germany as well. Their consignments 
 of leather and clo'.h for hook binders' work, and morocco 
 of all coluurd for carriage makers' and upholsterers* sup- 
 plies are large and varietl. These findings are numeroufly 
 and extensively used in Canada, and the demand is growing 
 to such dimensions that it is no wond:r the firm of liavid 
 Kea &* Co. are so extensively known. They are also 
 agents for Veringten SchuhstotV Kabriken, of Kubla, Ger- 
 many, slirpcr stuff manufactu'crs, and also agents for 
 Jacquot's celebrated French blacking and Houvaisc^ Flou, 
 of Nantes, canned vegetables. Many people wonder why 
 
 earned vegetables are imported to ihit country, s-eing that 
 extensive factories of this detcriplion are numerously scat* 
 terctl all over tbe country. The fact, however, does not 
 lie in cheapness, for these goods are retailed at a much 
 higher price than our own people tell thrm at. 
 I'heae goods are (.uperior to oar Canadian canned 
 goods, both as regards quality, growth and pre- 
 servation. No d' -uht this it due to the better 
 ficilily and expensive meihod of putting up these goods. 
 French peat excel anything of the kind, and are all 
 band picked. Here agnn we come to thf fact 
 that a Hui^erinr artirle will find itself in every 
 country, no matter the cost of manufacture, export 
 duties or price. The celebrated Jacquot's blacking needs 
 but a pasting notice. Kveryone has tried it, antl all are 
 KatisfieJ at to ils innocent and lasting polish. Whatever 
 ingredienlt are uted In . hit article, it it evidently free from 
 ncidi, f « instead of doing injury to ihe leather it teems to 
 protect and coat it against the lavaget of tbe weather. Tbt 
 firm of hivid Kea t^Co hatbeen in existence since 1H76, 
 nnd is w dely known all over Canada for its si und butl 
 ne<is principles and integrity. Their business, first confined 
 til Ihit province, is now extended from Halifax to Victoria, 
 II C. There is no man doing business in Montreal but hat 
 had some connection one way or other with this most en- 
 terprising antl reliable house. 
 
 Samuki. Kiiman, Cigar Manufacturer, 237 Commission- 
 ers street. —Among the many reliable and thoroughly fir^t- 
 dast houses engaged in the manuficture of cigars, the targe 
 and well eq lipfied establishment of Mr. Samuel Roman is 
 in the front rank The concern dates its inception to 18 
 \rart ago, and from its very commencement it has rver oc* 
 cupied a prominent |>osition amongst the commeicial enter- 
 prises of the city, and has met with a corresponding degree 
 of success. Few houM-s in Montreal have enji>yed as long 
 a period of prosperuus life. The premises i>ccupi((t are 
 very large, comprising three flats, alwut 30 x 40 feel in 
 dimensions, and the whole building is commodiously fitted 
 up with every requirement of the trade. Hesides the well 
 equipped manufactory, a neatly arranged store i« kept and 
 a choice assortment of some of the finest cigars to Iw found 
 "1 the city, including choice llavana.s and the most popular 
 l>rinds known to the trade; all grades of smoking and 
 > hewing tobacco, both cut and plug, cigarettes, meerchauro 
 and briar pipes, and smokers' sundries of all kinds always 
 ktqit in stock l>eaf tobacco i< impoited from Cuba, 
 Sumatra ard United Slates as well as the other chief 
 tobacco and fancy smoker's requisittrs countries. The 
 large number of 40 employees are kept busy in and about 
 the premises, while three travellers are constantly on the 
 road throushout the Dominion. Mr, Roman advancra in 
 no small degree the commercial interests of Montreal as 
 well as of Canada in his progressive businet*. The quo- 
 tations of the home and foreign markets are studied as 
 well as the wants of his pitrons, so that no exorbitant rales 
 are charged by this well kn«wn house. Trade has grown 
 very much of late and steadily increases from year to year. 
 Mr. Uoman personally supervises the whole manufactory 
 and manages his own business entirely, thus guaranteeing 
 his customers first cUss material in all Ms fine articles of 
 lobacco mnnutaciure. As a promoter of industry, Mr. 
 Roman is a valuable citi/en in Montreal, and his success is 
 admired by hit numerous patrons.

 delighted with t^e teautiful intenoTK nf many uf the 
 churches in this ciiy, particulaily in Ihoiie heton(;tng tu the 
 Roman Catholic puition of the community. These twauti- 
 ful elTects are due in a targe measure to the artistic eMurts 
 of the gentlemen engaged in the business of furnishini; 
 churchei, etc. One of the mott nrominent men in thiK 
 line in Canada is Mr. Allwri Gauthier of No. i(>77 Notre 
 Dame street. The premises occupied by him are centrally 
 located and are fitted in every way for the carrying on of a 
 large and constantly increasing business. The building is 
 live stories high, of cut stone, and is one of the attractions 
 <if that portion of the street, the Hne plate glass show 
 windows with their display of many coloured statues and 
 other goods compelling the aitentton of all. Anyone en- 
 tering (he establishment would find him;elf in a spacious 
 and well lighted apartment, in which are exhibited some of 
 the articles that c:rn be purchased in ihis store. On this 
 floor can l>e found ligures uf saints, angels, etc., in plaster, 
 wiMxl and maible. I he plate glass show c^sesaml shelvcN 
 are tilled with such articles as vest me ns, regalias bannerit, 
 chalices, and many other things too numerous to mention. 
 It may be mentioned that n-t only d(»es Mr. (iaulhier 
 handle the less expensive articles ol church lurnituie, but 
 he also carrie't such elaborate ami costly goods as sanc- 
 tuary lamps, and candle holders worth $200 and over. 
 Th'se Ia»t are imported from the leading makers in 
 Kurope. The upper lloors are devoted to manufacturing 
 various lines of go(Hls which are handled by h'm. Mr. 
 (iauthier takes the timi place in Canada, in fact so success- 
 ful is he in the manulacluring of vestments, images, od 
 paintings, etc., that he competes favouiably with the fore- 
 most establishments of I' ranee and Italy, llr employs 
 twenty skt<led as^^islants who with the aid of the most 
 modern and impioved machine^ are constantly busy on the 
 many ordns that c- me in from all portions of the country. 
 All the mwlelling in clav, wood and other material is done 
 on the premises, the results being (i|uaL to any of foreign 
 make. 1 he oil paintings shown in Mr. (iauthier's eAtab- 
 lishment representing the crucifixion and other kindred 
 »ubjects are very fine, and are without doubt excellent 
 works of rrl. Mr. Ciauthier is the recipient tf a gold 
 medal from the auth riiies of the Paris exposition, fur a 
 new and impiove<l banner carrier, .suitable for the use of 
 religious and other sociefies. This banner carrier serves 
 a double purpose, as 't can also l>e used as a stand. The 
 <|uali(y ol the goods made and handled in this store may 
 t>e judged when it it ^aid that a latge trade is done in the

 century ni reach the date of the founding of this splendid 
 establishment, which to <lay is one of the leading houses 
 in its line in the Oominion. In 1837, K. and \', lludon 
 lormed a partnershtp to carry on business. Twenty >ears 
 later they dissolvfd, and V. lludon conducted the business 
 alone until 1st may 1865. Then a firm compiisirg his aon, 
 Mr. Ilebert and Mr. Ilamelin, all thrre of them clerks in the 
 old establishment, was formed undc the name of j. lludon 
 i5r* Co. This firm carried on the business until 1883, when 
 Mr. Ilanelin withdrew with ample capital on which to 
 live in independence. A new partnership was then 
 formed, the members l>eing Mr. lludon, Mr. Ilebert, and 
 tw ■ of the old clerks— Messr*. L Hrault and J. Jarret, 
 ander the name of Hudon. Ileltcrt iSr* t'o. That turn ^till

 figures, as the thiM largest exp4>rter of cheese from the 
 port of Munlreal for the season of i8<io. These ltfrure« 
 also show to what tare* proportions orte branch uf his

 for s^me time in mot>t of the lar^e chee*e marVrts of

 the grain is stored and ^hip^ied out in car )->ts as rc'iaired. 
 That Mr. Mcl'herson has aided greatly in improving tlie 
 trade of Montreal ard Canada is an und'iubted fact, he 
 havibg devrloped M<businessto «uch an extent thai it may 
 be said to be the leading one of its kind in the city. Hav-

 MoNTRRAi. ViMiMNi. CoMiANv, Wm. Koch ind Th. 
 Mnmcr, Prophetort, 647 CnUg ttrcet- — A collection of 
 fiicti concerning the leading huvineu houws of MontrrBl 
 wovltl not be complett without mention being made of the 
 Montreal <^)uiUing Co. of No. 647 Crmig street. Tbii hrm 
 wu ettablifheii hjr the enterpriiing proprietor!, Meur». 
 Wm. Koch »nd Th. Meimer in the year 1KS6 and tince 
 that date hai flouriihed in a marked degree. Their pre- 
 mises locate*! in King's Block, 647 Craig street, have re- 
 cently been enlarged and are now in every way initcd to 
 accominodale a large and growing trade. Skilled opcra- 
 tori are constantly employed nndcr the tvpervision of con- 
 petent foremen in making quilted linings of every descrip- 
 tion suitable lor the lining of fnr goods, aantlcs, clothing, 
 etc. The quality of the products of this house is well 
 k nown. Karrieri and othtn using this description of material 
 acknowledge it to tw ttie best on the market. Recently 
 Mr. Th. Mesner has obtained the agency for *■ Flbrone." 
 Some idea as to what Fibrone is may be gathered from the 
 following. According to the opinion of most competent 
 eiperts, Kibronc is a solid and plastic substance presenting 
 many of the most desirable characteristics of hard rubber. 
 It is a perfect non-conductor, absolutely water proof, and 
 will also resist the weaker acids. It can be made to with- 
 stand concentrated acid solutions and the action of alkallea ; 
 it can alto he made prrlectly fireproof and is therefore par- 
 ticularly adapted and useful for electrical purposes. Ex* 
 perlmenti have been made with this sabstance by several 
 authorities, and more recently Flbrone was submitted a* an 
 intulativR material to a most severe test in the ** Merchant's 
 an<l Manufacturers' National lAboratorv of New York," 
 The result of these experiments plainly Illustrates the fact 
 that Fibrone does not flake off, blister, crumble, crack, ex 
 pand or co'^tract under onhnary temperature^, and for spe- 
 cial purposes is also made to withstand a high degree of 
 heal ; it cin Ite sawn, planed, drilled, tap|>ed, or turned in 
 a lathe and made heat y or light. It can also lie made ap 
 in any color or combination of colors or to imitate any 
 wood, marble, stone, metal or bronze. The admirable 
 plasticity of Fibrone la demonstrated by the fine specimens 
 of artistic decorations, in relief, made with this material. 
 There seems to be an unlimited field for the useful applica- 
 tion of this substance t for example, it is slowly but surely 
 Iskingthe place ofcsrved ebony, so extensively used in the 
 hneiit piani><<, and of marble in panels and other house de- 
 corations. Sampler of Jibrone made up to suit hardware 
 ileaters, t'urniture and cabinet makers, electricians, drug- 
 gists and fancy goodi dealers can be seen at the oihce ot the 
 Canadian agent. Mr. Th. Mesner, the energetic manager 
 of the Montreal (Quilting Co. 647 Craig street. Mr. Mes- 
 mer solicits correspondence or inspection from i^arties in- 
 tereste<l, and will he pleased to furnish all possible infor- 
 mation.

 Alih. Poui-Aan, Coal and Wood Merchant, 393 Craig 
 street. — The extremely cold winters in Montreal would 
 alone necessitate and render important the coal ami wood 
 business, to say nothingof the amount of these articles used 
 in shipping and railroading. Mr. A. Poupard conducts a 
 thoroughly 6rst class coal and wood yard at 393 Craig 
 street, and to no Inconsiderable extent aids in promoting 
 the commercial interests of the city. He began this busi- 
 ness in 1880, and after its inception soon rose to the dis- 
 tinction in the trade he has ever since maintained. Marked 
 success has attended this concern in all its branches and it 
 to-day stands second to none in these lines in Montreal. 
 The finest Cape Itreton and Nova Scotia and Welsh and 
 blacksmith's coal is constantly kept in stock, while every 
 description of wood is supplied, embracing some of the best 
 hard woods, as well as a large assortment of first class light 
 and soft woods, ircluding ash, elm, cedar and pine in 
 ibundance. Kindling wood is kept v ge quantities and 
 IK supplied either in bundles or hy the load as custumers 
 may require. Ordeis by telephone (Uell, 737 or Federal, 
 104) receive immediate attention. An idea of the exten- 
 sive business done by the firm is gained when it is con- 
 sidered tha* eight horses are constantly at work drawing the 
 wood and coal in every direction. Mr. Poupard by hi* 
 prompt attention to customers has gained the confideiKe 
 and reipect of his many patrons all over the city.

 numerous sei^i of harness on their several |>ens. "►'»«. whij>s,

 Geu. Wait 6'Co., CommiuioL. Merchanti, 9, 11 Wil- 
 liam street.— Perhaps the trade to which Montreal and in 
 bet Canada is indebted in the largest degree i% that of the 
 provision and commission merchant. It is to this that she 
 owes her reputation, in fact if it were not for the heavy 
 shipments of produce to Great Britain and elHwhere it is 
 doubtful whether the country would be able to sustain its 
 position among nations. Prominent among the firms that 
 have contributed in a material way to the growth and pros- 
 perity of this branch of the commerce of the port of Mont- 
 real Messrs. Geo. Wait ^Sr* Co. take a foremost place. 
 Their premises aL No. 9, 1 1 William street are admirably 
 located for the carrying on of such a trade, being in the 
 centre of (he wholesale portion of the city and in close 
 proKimity to the various shipping pointr, the tirm enjoy un- 
 equalled facilities for receiving and shipping their goods. 
 The building is four storeys high 247184 feet in dimensions, 
 and has a large refrigerator in connection with it. They 
 deal principally in dairy butter, eggs, cheese, and buying 
 these products from farmers and others throughout the 
 country, employing the services of five experienced buyers 
 fur this purpose. These goods are reshippcd to Great 
 Britain where Messrs. Wait <&■ Co. do an extensive trade. 
 No less than thirteen employees are engaged in transacting 
 the large and growing trade of the firm. In addition to 
 the above they also have a large egg warehouse on St. 
 Pliillip street, and an immense refrigerator in connection 
 with same ca{>able of holding eight thousand barrels Some 
 idea uf the extent of the trade done by Messrs. Wait &* 
 Co. may be gathered from the foregoing, although to at- 
 tempt to describe in detail the workings of such a traffic 
 would be impossible. Since the establishment of this firm 
 in 1857 by Mr. George Wait it has prospered to a marked 
 degree, and has attained a place in the provision trsde in 
 Canada that isequalled by few. The members of the house 
 Messrs. Geo, Wait, George S. Wait and John M. Taylor, 
 are well known in commercial circles in this city, are mem* 
 bcri of the Board of Trade and Corn Eichange, and take a 
 lively interest in all that goes on for the benetit of Montreal 
 and its commerce. 
 
 Ink Pomimon Kimipji PiAtK Comi-anv, u^.Vitic 
 »treei. In this progressive age, of keen comiietition in every 
 branch of trade, a business that involves the priHhiction of a 
 great variety of articles to suit the masses is the one that is 
 almost sure lo succeed. Such .tn industry is that of the 
 widely and favourably known Dominion Rolled Plate Ctmi- 
 pany of Montreal, whose large headquarters are centrally and 
 eligibly located at 1 35 Vitre street. Their rolled plate, in all 
 its forms, is the line%t in the Dominion, aiul is a veritable 
 "long felt want/' in fully meeting the com|)etition uf 
 
 American giKMls. This c<iin|ianv is cum]N>sed of gentlemen 
 of H iilc experience and the It-st executive ability. They are 
 Messrs. I. Davis, II. J. Miller, ('h.is. Holt and II. I. Joseph. 
 The giMtds manufacluretl are of great diversit>, incluiling 
 rolled plate watch chains of all varieties and styles and of ihe 
 finest <|ualily, jeweller's rialc si.Hk. s<|uare and fancy wire 
 of all kinds, -» ^|M-cialty l»eing made of " gold allierls," also 
 Cems, diamtuuU and wedding rings of every description. 
 The com|>any have spared no ex[>ense in lilting up iheir new 
 prenuscs with machinery in all ine lates> impruviments, and 
 have alsti provided skilled workmen ; and as they have nn 
 duly to pay on lheirg<MNls Canadians receive rolled plate of 
 the At (juality at prices the h)west com|>atil>le with a living 
 business. From ihe furegiping, which is but a mere sketch 
 of this enterpris*.-, ii will Ite easily M.-en that it is one of mag- 
 nitude, and one which relleds (he highest credit u|M)n the 
 management, u)>on Montreal as a centre of conmierce, and 
 u|>on Canada as a country |N>sscssing manufactories that com- 
 pete with all comers. 
 
 CiiAs. Lanuix)is &* Co., General Produce Commission 
 Merchants, 241 St. Paul street, near Boniecours Market. — 
 Of those houses in Montreal tlut have exerted a cons'der 
 able influence on the commission trade and have established 
 a badneu of magnitude, that of Messrs. Chas. Langlois A* 
 Ca, of 341 St. Paul street, is one of the best known. 
 This enterprise was founded In 1881, and after its inception 
 soon roae to the distinguished position in the trade that it 
 
 has ever since maintained. Messrs. Ltnglois 6^ Co. have 
 ever devoted their close attention to their busineit, in 
 which they arc thoroughly experienced, and have shown a 
 considerable perception for the retiuirements of the trade. 
 The premises occupied are commodious and spacious, three 
 large flats being utilized, the ground floor being used as a 
 store, while the other flats afford ample accommodation 
 for the storage of the immense qaantitif s of produce handled. 
 Consignment! of potatoes in carloads are specially dealt in, 
 while large quantities of butler, eggs, cheese, dressed hogs, 
 lard, etc., are continually being bought and sold in the 
 most satisfactory manner both to producers and consumers. 
 Market prices are always quoted, and Messrs. Langlois ^ 
 Co. have first class and well- developed connections, being 
 distinguished for eflecting profitable sales, making prompt 
 raums, and charging consistent but moderate prices. 
 Reasonable advances are made on offers if detired, and a 
 very large and constantly irrowlng trade Is done in all 
 parts of the Dominion. Employment is furnished for 
 seventeen hands throughout the yMr, and every facility Is 
 afforded for the rapid protecutlon of trade. Messrs. 
 Langlois &* Co., it will be easily seen, are conducting a 
 solid, progresuve business in Montreal, and their success 
 is watched with admiration by a ho^t of friends in this ctty. 
 They are also owners of two cold storages of forty-five feel 
 square each, situated at 161 Sangainet street and 418 
 Lagauchetiere street respectively.

 CiTi/ENs iNiiURANCR Co » i8l St. jamei street.— One 
 of the most prominent purely Canadian insurance com- 
 
 {)aniei that make a specialty of fire and accident insurance 
 B the Citizens Insurance Company of Canada. The offices 
 of this concern are located at i8i St. James street, in their 
 own building, which is six storeys high, with plate glass 
 windows and all other fittings of the mo»>t modern kind. 
 The office of the company is on the first floor and is equip- 
 ped in a first-class style, excelled by few others in the city. 
 The officers of the Citizens Insurance Company are the 
 Hon. J. J. C. Abbott, the new . Tremier of the Dom- 
 inion, president; vice-president, Andrew Allan; 
 with Messrs. A. Desjardinf, MP., C. I). Proctor, 
 H. M. Allan, A Trevost and J. O. travel. The business 
 of the company is under the able management of Mr, E. 
 P. Heaton, with Mr. W. Smith as secretary trea«urer. 
 The inspector for Quebec is Mr. C. Oelinas and Mr. Alex, 
 Stewart for Ontario. The names alone of the above men- 
 tioned gentlemen are sufficient in themselves to inspire con- 
 fidence in the public, many of them having been connected 
 withit8incetheyeari864,whenit was established. Kver since 
 that date it has gone steadily on, doinf an honest and con- 
 stantly growing business, settling all just claims promptly, 
 and receiving the esteem and respect of all their patrons. 
 A few words as to the financial standing of the company 
 may not be amiss. The total available funds amount to 
 over $1,233,100.87, and have paid losses since the organi- 
 sation of the company of $3,314,285.58. The last report 
 shows a very gratifying increase in premiums, interest from 
 investments, assets, and net surplus, the latter amounting 
 to the large sum of $45,956.53. The report also refers to 
 the purchase of the entire Canadian business uf a large 
 English company, and the manipulation of a deal of this 
 kind reflects the business sagacity of the directors and offi- 
 cers of the **CitisenB." Mr. Heaton, the manager, is a 
 gentleman well and favourably known in insurance circles 
 m Montreal as one of the best informed and most expert 
 insurance men in the city, and needless to say retains the 
 confidence and respect of the company and its many 
 patrons. 
 
 Hunt, Barnrs ^ Co., Importers of and Wholesale 
 Dealcn in Kish, Oysters and Produce, 94 McGill ktreet. — 
 Meuri. Hunt, Bai:;ei ^ Co. established themselves in

 Halifax, St. John, N.H,, Digby, St. Andrews and Chatham 
 contribute largely towards the stock of this house. Home

 prietors of the business by which means they are enabled to 
 buy ip the best markets. Their experience in all lines of

 Since their commencement in business successhas increased 
 with great regularity, gathering together a connection 
 among which their reputation is of the highest. The mem- 
 bers of the firm are widely known as business men of great 
 ability and foresight. To Mr, NeUon Smith, who for 
 eleven years has been manager for the company is very 
 largely due the gratifying fact that no other house in this 
 line holds a more prominent position than that of Messrs. 
 Hunt, Bamei &* Co.

 As Montreal is a city occupying an important position in 
 the ocesn ihipping trade, the branch of industry carried on 
 , ^rderthe name of warehousemen, custom house and for-

 period of time, prosperity has marked the efforts of the

 unsurpasted. The trade of Messr . Egan &* Son is most 
 progressive and thriving and their reputation throughout 
 Montreal is a most desirable one. Prompt and careful deal 
 ing and nytderation in prices, are characteristics of the 
 house.

 Sacrament »treet.— One of the important branches of trade 
 in Montreal, which not a little aids, and materially con- 
 tributes to her commercial advancement is the exclusive

 connection, as unique as it is reliable and extensive, is that 
 of Mr. Albert G. Higginson, whose place of business Is 
 admirably located at 43 St. Sacrament street. His house 
 is appropriately named "The Montreal Glue Depot." The

 H. A. Laroiiik, Manufacturers' Agent, No. 61 St. 
 I'rancois Xavier street.— Many large manufacturing firms, 
 having their factoriei in distant towns, find that it is 
 absolutely necessary to have an agency in this the ccm- 
 mercial centre of Canada. Among the many larce firms 
 whuce enterprising agents do business in Montreal is that 
 of Wm. Parkscr'Son, proprietorsof the St John, N.B Cotton 
 Mills. Their interests are entrusted to Mr H. A. Ijiroche, 
 who conducts his business at No. oi St. Irancoia Xavier 
 street, where he has a targe and well lighted office, nicely 
 fitted and in every way suited to his purpose. A numlter 
 of samples of the >lifferent gocds sold by Mr. I^roche are 
 attractively displayed here 10 the view of the visit'U. 
 Owing to his previous kn'iwledge of the trade, extending 
 over some nine years, he is able to do a large amount of 
 business for Messrs. Parks <5t* Son. The circle of their 
 customers in the I'rovinceof <,>uebec ii constantly enlarging 
 as a result of his continued and well directed efforts. 
 Besides attending to the above mentioned agency Mr. 
 Laroche also does business for a number of large firms in 
 the dry goods trade in England. The fact that such firms 
 as Jos. Ncwsomc «5^ .Sons, Dewsbury ; G. (iarnett tSr* Sons, 
 Leeds ; J. Kadcliffe iS^Co., Kochdale ; W. D. Kydc, Sons 
 ^ Co , Blackley ; G. A. Jones C-^ Co., Bradford ; S. &- J.

 turing Co'y-, of lieckmondwicke, Eng. ; (t. Deglas, Paris, 
 I ranee; Grrenhalch i^:' Clausen, Manchester, Eng- 
 land ; Walsh d- McCrea, Halifax, N.S. : C. G. 
 Elrlck, Toronto ; Standard Hosiery Co., Pembroke. 
 Ont. ; and the Northern Linen ''o , Belfast, have placed 
 their Canadian business under his care is conclusive proof 
 that he has a large purchasing connection here. The trade 
 done by Mr. Lir che is principally in the Province of 
 Quebec, although his connections are rapidly extending* 
 and in due course will undoubtedly spread all over the 
 Dominion. Being thoroughly acquainted with the wants 
 of the Canadian trade he is able to sell to them goods es- 
 pecially suited for their market, and at prices that allow of 
 both parties making a fair profit, Mr. Laroche is a young 
 man. a native of (^>uebec City, and has by his sterling 
 worth, energy and integrity pushed his way np in the 
 business community hy which he is surrounded. Measar* 
 ing hts success by the past, it is but jast to suppose that he 
 will keep steadily on, developing his trade and extending 
 his business until it equals any in the city.

 Druggist, Com* r St. Lawrence and Dorchester street. — 
 T^e responBtbiU'y of a competent druggist iT^creasrs dally, 
 for pharmaceutical science advances with bounds vome- 
 times at a moment's notice. Among the mo t reliable ami 
 Able pharmacislft ol Montreal, Mr. Wallace Diwson ranks 
 in the front. His business was smarted about May ist 1887, 
 and by careful attention to trade this gentleman lus built np 
 ft first clasfi growing batineu with the best class of cus- 
 tomers. Mr. Dawson is but a young man and is one of 
 the most enterprising bnsiness men in the city. He is a 
 regular dispensing dru^ist and graduate ctf Montreal Col- 
 
 lege of Pharmacy. He makes a specialty of family dispen- 
 sing and is ably auisted by a competent, Aill-flcdged drug- 
 gist, in order to attend the many orders that poor in d«lly. 
 both men bare a high reputation as thorongbly skilled and 
 careful pharmacists. The premises occupied by Mr. Daw- 
 son are fitted up with good taste in fine cherry wood, with 
 spacious plate glass windows, show cases and caUoets 
 lor (he adTantageons displa^r of his large stock containing 
 a choice assortment of fresh and pure drags, chemicals, 
 fancy and toilet articles, imported and domestic soaps, per- 
 fumes and proprietary medicines of all descriptions. The 
 dispensing ronm is neat, clean and well stocked, and Is 
 very conveniently arranged fur his growing trade. Few 
 stores are more attractively fitted up than i\l% beautiful 
 drug store. All patrons receive the kindest attention In 
 the most practical way possible ard medical men find an 
 able assist int in Mr, Diwson. He personally supervises 
 all the compoundirg asd dispensing, and his reputation for 
 accuracy and faith^lness has acquired for him the trade 
 from the best families of Montreal. This house is known 
 for its many specialties, some of which are Dawson's 
 Chocolate Cream Worm Drops and Dyspepsine. The 
 Chocalate Cream Worm Drops are a unique preparation, 
 and can not be distinguished from the fancy chocolate cream 
 candy of confectioners and is not only the most pleasant 
 bat the most reliable remedy ever offered to the public. 
 Itfis prepared only by Mr. Wallace Dawson. The follow- 
 ing eminent specialists on diseases of children testify to the 
 merits of this worm cindy : Dr. D Lachapelle, Dr. C S. 
 Kenwick and Dr. A S. Brunelles. Dyspepsine is the great 
 American remedy for dyspepsia and is a Dositive cure for 
 heartburr, sick headache and all forms of dyspepsia and 
 liver complaint. This famous and reliable remedy is also 
 recommended by physicians, and is manufactured solely 
 by Mr. Dawson. Another novel'y that marks Mr. 
 Dawson ai possessing special genius is his splendid relief 
 for the ho rors of toothache, called very apprjpriately*

 rf the Council it Fhartraceutical As-ociation, but has with-

 MiiKiN & Co., Cimnnission A^ent<i and (^aspe Fishing 
 t"omi»any, Riwrn 22, Imperial Buililings.— Among the pro- 
 minent merchants thai have always fostered and encouraged 
 commerce in the city of Montreal, special mention is made 
 of Metfrs. Morin \ Co., Kooni 22 Imfierial Building. 
 Moiin \ i'n. have for more than twenty years represented 
 the house of j. 1>. Wisncr tV Son, distillers of alcohol and 
 sj iriis, »(f I'rescott. Mr. L. K. Morin, sr., is one of the old- 
 est merchants in Montreal, having In-en for five years with 
 Messrs. Cuvillier \ Son. one of the most important firms of 
 that j>eiiod, previous to starling in business in 185J. In this 
 year he commenced as a grocer, continuing in this line for a 
 few years when he abandoned this to open a commission 
 business and to take the agency for J. P. Winner & Son. In 
 1870 he founded the journal /.e NegOiiant Canadiettt the 
 tirsl French-Canadian paper devoted entirely to mercantile 
 pursuits. Mr. Morin was one of the promoters of the 
 Chamlters of Commerce of Montreal and elsewhere which 
 have had the etTect of giving a decidetl impetus to pp^res- 
 sive commercial movements among (Canadians since 1873. 
 In 1873 .Mr. Morin was made inspector of fish and oil for 
 M<mtreal, which )Kisition he held till 1885 when he resigned. 
 Shortly afterwards he established the firm of which he is the 
 head, entering into partnership with L. /. Jonca«, the mem- 
 Wx of Parliament for (ias|>e, under Ihe name of the Gaspc 
 Fishing Co. They have a large establishment in Gaspe 
 County which is bein^ constantly increased, the demand for 
 their hsh growing rapidly. Mr. Morin has occupied several 
 im|M)rtant (lositicns duiing his commercial career, having 
 K-en twice a delegate from the Chamlwr of Commerce to the 
 Dominion Board of Trade, lie was one of the founders and 
 first president of the Broker's Association and has always 
 Iieen intimately connected with all that concerns the ad- 
 vancement of Montreal and its r mmerce. 
 
 KmsdN & kKimv, Notaries, Commissioners, etc., 
 Room 45S Imperial Building.— Montreal is favoured with 
 an array of intellectual ability in the profession of the notary 
 public, of which no other city in the Dominion can l>oast. 
 Actively occupied in this pursuit are not only some of the 
 mtist prominent business men of the city but also j;entlemen 
 t»f learning and ability. Among the leading Notaries worthy 
 of note in the front ranks, arc Messrs. Kittson & Reddy 
 who«e office is elit<il)ly located in the Im{)erial Building, and 
 who may he saitl to do a leading practice in this city. Mr. 
 Kitts«m, B.C. L., graduated a Bachelor of Civil Ijiwfrom Mc- 
 (iill College in 186S, and has Iwen in active and successful 
 practice since that date. Mr. Reddy, B.C.L., obtained 
 a similar degree in 1881, and in 1884 entered partnership 
 with Mr. Kittson, the practice U-ing continued under the 
 firm name that heads this sketch. During the intervening 
 jeven yeais in which Messrs. Kittson iS: Reddy have been 
 before the public as Notaries they have met with marked 
 pros|>erity, nnd have drawn alwut them a wide and steadily 
 increasing circle of patrons. The business done embraces 
 all kinds i)f notarial work, cimveyancing, negotiating loans, 
 registering and executing wills, partnerships, deeds, etc., and 
 in short everythin^j in the legal line itertaining to the notarial 
 professi<m. The individual memlR;rs arc esteemed by all 
 who know them and tluiroughly merit their success in this 
 city.

 I'KRRiN Frkrbs <S?* Cik.. Kid Glove Manufiscturrra, 
 Grenoble, France, and at Paris. Lx>odon, New York, 
 Melbourne ; Montreal Branch 7 Victoria Square, comer 
 St. James' street.— Exactly thirty-one yearr have psssed 
 away since the lam us French 6rm of Perrin Freres ^ 
 Cie. first launcheit their fragile baik on the troubled 
 waters of the nineteenth century commerce. To day the 
 house is known and honoured wherever the light of civili- 
 zation has dawned, its productions reflect credit not 
 only on the principals themselves, but also on their town 
 and country. In the year of i860, when only in his 
 twentieth year, M. Fertejl Ptr'in, with his mother and 
 brother Paul, founded the firm of \ cuve Perrin et Fils, 
 at Hue du Pont. Saint Jaine. The business was con- 
 ducted from the beginning with that prudence, spirit and 
 energy, which has ever since disiinguis^'ed it, and shortly 
 afterwards we find the firm removing to larger premises in 
 K<ie Saint Laurant. The firm had set before them a high 
 ideal of excellence, and Ihe genuine <{aality, beauty and 
 saleableness of their productions early attracted attention 
 in America and England and (heir sale in these markeU 
 rapidly incr^^ied. In i86(> M. L. Valerien Perrin became 
 a partnrr, and in 1873 that gentleman proceeded to New 
 York and founded a branch house, (n'>w managed by 
 M. Alph'^nsi Douiltei who became a partner in January 
 1888.) which has been attended with phenomenal success 
 In 1875 the style of t^e firm waa changed lo its present 
 well known title of Perrin Frere* J-' Cie. Sin'-e then the 
 house has increased 1 terally by leaps and bounds. 
 E'gfiteen hundred and seventy-six saw an English branch, 
 established in London, to be fo lowed in 1879 by a 
 Canadian branch in Montreal, which i* to day under the 
 able management of Mr. II. LauraiKelle. The msnufac- 
 tories and workshops of the firm afford a theme pregnant 
 of interest, but one to which the limited space a( our dis- 
 posal prevents us doing ju&tice. The fxctory at tiren-

 oble, of which we give a view, and which only com- 
 priBca a part of the producing power of the home, ii a 
 model 01 advanced manufacturinK methods. Kvery new 
 idea of real value hts been adopted and carried out. The 
 building ii lighted throughout with electricity, and thii 
 eitablishment alone providei employment for between 700 
 and Sno permanent workers. The firm buy their ikins in 
 the rough, from the most famoui diitricts, and have 
 all the cleaning and preparatory pruceu done on 
 their own premi»efi. The dying operationi are conducted 
 under the perional suiwtviKion of a talented chemical 
 engineer, who holds a diploma of the Lyons School of 
 Arts and Manufactures whose business it is to ulil'ze the 
 very latent advances in the art, and as an instance we may 
 mention that quite recently his experimenti have been re- 
 warded by the important discovery by which the applica- 
 tion of black dyes leaves intact all the original <|ualities of 
 the ikin. At (irenoble and distiict alone, there are en- 
 gaged something I'ke 2.500 to 3000 people, at different 
 seasons of the year, in the manufacture of the firm's 
 specialties in gloves. The important new dye works 
 started as recently as 1887 represents a personnel of some 
 Hfly hand« exclusively employed in d)etng the productions 
 of the 6rm ; while the large numbers of |>ersons directly 
 and indirectly employed by the firm in procuring and pre- 
 paring the skins it is difficult to estimate with accuracy. 
 If in addition to this we consMer the large number of 
 travellers wfiicli represent th's house in so many widely 
 separated parts of the world, t' get her with the regular 
 rchident staff at the branches of the Hrm at 78 Boulevard 
 .Sobastopol, I'aris; 145 Cheapside, London, E.C. ; 484 to 
 490 Hrojme street, ^ew York ; and at 7 Victoria Sciuare, 
 Montreal ; w* shall then be able to form some idea of the 
 general magnitude of a c mmercial concern whose aggre- 
 gate yearly turnover in gloves alone is represented not 
 merely by thousands but by hundreds of thousands of 
 pound* sterling. The principals of the firm, Meiar*. 
 Terrin Kreres d-* Cie. are all practical men, who guard 
 the reputation of their goods by superintending with the 
 utmost vigilance every detail of their manufacturing 
 processes. From the very outset they tried to produce 
 gloves in every particular at least a little better than any 
 others, and we know that if one glove be a little better in 
 each detail than another, it will bie, on the whole, greatly 
 superior to it. This unusual solicitude for tne perfecting 
 of theii gloves soon told on the fortune of the house. 
 Drapers, glovers, and hosiers, who ever stocked their 
 goods were almost certain to repeat orders regularly, for 
 Mess's. I'errin's productions not only sell readily, but re- 
 flect credit on the seller. These goods are not merely 
 genuine in reality but their merits are easily seen, and 
 there is that indescribable something about even their 
 plainest makes which constitutes the talismanic merit of 
 faaleableneso. More than one oO'icial tribute has been paid 
 to the excellence of Messrs. Terrin Freres' productions by 
 the pres-dent of the Grenoble Char* -,r of Commerce, 
 which are amply confirmed by the honours received at 
 various exhibitions, etc. Philadelphia, 1876, medal and 
 diploma; Paris, 1878, gold medal; Sydney, 1879, 
 medal hr^t class ; Melbourne, 1880, second order of merit ; 
 Melbourne, 1889, first order of merit ; Paris, 1889 gold 
 medal. But the most important and significant tribote 
 paid to the qualities of these goods is to be found in the 
 splendid reception they have found and the constantly in- 
 creasing favours they are receiving, not only in France 
 but in England and throughout the length and breadth of 
 the American aud Australian continents. The Canadian 
 brinch is under the personal supervision of M. Valerien 
 Perrin in Grenoble, whose special desire to attain in 
 Canada a Irxde and reputation equal to that held in other 
 countries, hks been gratified beyond all expectations, and 
 to day the Canadian business under the immediate able 
 management of Mr. Ii. l.aurancelle has advanced with 
 great rapidity and stands without a peer.

 jtRii.KK Dki-<; IIai.i. ; Roi>. Cakkiekk, Proprietor, 
 1341 St. Catherine street. —Next to a doctor, the druggist is 
 one of the most necesaary professional men in any comnmnity, 
 t>e it in tow^iiir country. Holding the issues of life and 
 death in his hands, it is imperative that he should l>e a man 
 of intelligence, foresight and energy. Of late years the 
 (iovernment of Canada, recognizing the alM)ve fact, has made 
 the examination for graduates in pharmacy much more 
 tlifhcult than they were at one time. Among the few men 
 who have successfully passed the examinations is Mr. 
 Rodriguu Carricre, whose place of business is at 1341 St. 
 Catherine street. Mr. Carriere established this drug hall 
 some four years ago. He has, by perseverance and care, 
 built up a gixxl trade, and has a reinitation for keeping fine 
 and fresh dnigs, chemicals, etc. The premises occupied by 
 him are situatcfl in a handsome stone i)lock, the portion of 
 the building where he is located having an elegant show 
 window witn plate glass front. This window is always an 
 attraction to every passer, it Iwing nicely dressed with a 
 display of fancy goods, toilet articles, s(io.ige Iwgs, cir. The 
 
 interior of the store is even more pleasing to the eye, the 
 neat way in which it is arranged with tables and counters on 
 each side, fine nickel-plated show cases, dark wood trim- 
 mings anil stools, all going to make a fine array. The 
 shelves, a^ well as the rest of the furnishings, are of cherry, 
 setting off the stoppered iHittles, for liquids and powders, to 
 advantage. The stock is large and varied, consisting of 
 drugs and chemicals of the purest quality, fancy goods, 
 toilet articles, soaps, sponges. |uitent medicines of known 
 reputation, and many other things too numerous to mention. 
 This varied assortment is so disposed as to set off its quality 
 anil iK-aiily admirably. Mr. Carriere makes a specialty of 
 the careful com)>ounding of prescriptions, and anything of 
 this kind can be entrusted to him without fear as to the 
 result. .Among the valuable proprietary medicines manufac- 
 tured s ilely by him are his Compound Syrup of Hypo- 
 phosphites, and Jubilee Emulsion of Pure Norwegian Cod 
 Liver Oil. Mr. kixl. Carriere was incorporated 23rd 
 January, 1891, under the title of Jubilee Medicine Company. 
 Besides the store at No. 1341 St. Catherine street, he has a 
 branch on the corner of Kullum and St. Catherine streets, 
 where he keeps a small but well assorted stock. His Tele- 
 hone Nos. are; Bell, 6041 and branch 6270; Federal, 1908. 
 Mr. Carriere is well known as an enterprising and pushing 
 young man of marked ability. That he enjoys the confidence 
 and esteem of his ever increasing circle of patrons goes 
 without saying.

 and to keep abreast of the keen competition of the age. 
 Their trade is not confined to the city of Montreal but 
 extends thnMighout the Dominion, Hilh a reputation steadily 
 growing from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A specialty is 
 made of mantles, and they undoubtedly )K>ssessthe finest and

 CiIAMi'iON Sakb Works, S. S. KimluII, I'ronrietor, 
 577 Craig street. In a recent calah^ue, S. S. KMnliall, of 
 the Champion Safe Works, gives a list of alior.i 240 firms, 
 lianks, municipalit es, individuals, etc., that h:)ve purchased 
 safes from him and to whom prospective purchasers are 
 directed! for reference as to the character of these safes. 
 Among them are the Toronto Afiii/, Railway New* (!o, ;

 said, therefore, cither that Mr. KimltalPs safes are unknown 
 or that they are not appreciated. One testimonial may l>e 
 referre<l to as an example. Messrs. Sabiston \ Trenholme 
 testify that their Kimball safe was taken from the ruins of a

 of any workmen, lieing thoroughly familiar with every detail 
 of the work. To use Mr. Kimball's own words, he makes 
 the following claims for nis safes ; " I claim, first, that my 
 safes are the strimgesi, l)einf! made of one piece of heavy 
 iron for th^ l»)ily, and the angle iron that makes the frame is 
 ■olid, wehled at the corners, (noolher m.ikers in the Domin 
 ion making thehi that way or as strong iis mine). My till- 
 ing isthel<inil that has stood the hardest tests, my dools

 has carried its conterils thr.nigh the fire in perfect sha|H', and 
 Ihcy have slcmd some of the h.irilesi liies, nor has one of 
 them iK'en o|H-ned Iiy a burglar. Kvery oiu- of them has a 
 steel plate hardeneil so that no drill or chisel will cut it 
 lietween the outside and the lock. The li>cks are placed im 
 the inside of the door, making Ihcm much m.ire easy to gel 
 at when the safe is open, but hariler for the thief I will 
 warrant my )>oorest safe to fall six stories without bursting." 
 Mr. Kimball makes fifteen siies or varieties of the Champion 
 safe, varying in price from $50 to $550. Me also manufac- 
 tures v.iult ([oi>rs, steel lined, with combination or keylocks ; 
 vault doors, lirepriMif only ; division doors for buildings,

 capital and at a lime when the trade of Montreal was in- 
 considerablct it has. by the careful management of its 
 ( fficers, advanced steadily until at present it holds a prom- 
 inent position in tVe commercial world of Canada. That 
 it is one of the most ^ultd binking institutions in Montreal 
 may be judged when it is said that the capital is $1,200,- 
 oco, an amount sufficient to guarantee the strength and 
 reliability of any bink. The statement for the year 1890 
 khowA that a Hourihhlng business has been done, the protits 
 amounting to$ioo,i4i.43 Thereserve hasb»nincrea<ed 
 hy $25,000.00 which rais«!s that fund to $425,000.00. In 
 ndditi'in to the agencies already established throughout the 
 country a new citv branch was opened last August on St. 
 Caherine street Kast. The foresight and cxpectitions of 
 the directors have been fully realized, the opeoiog of many 
 factories and stores in that section atfordiag their branch 
 a large and growing busness. The agencies at Qjebec, 
 St. Remi, '^Itree Kiveri, St. Jean, St. /erome and Coati-

 with them l-^»nA t./ oe in a satisfactory state. Altogether, 
 taking into consideration the depression of agricultural 
 £nd commercial Interests in Canada during the past year 
 the showing of La Banqiie du Peuple is one that can be 
 looked back upon with pride in years to come. The 
 directors of the bank are as follows, Jacq les Grenier, K^q., 
 president ; Geo. S. Brush, vice -president ; Meurs. A. 
 I^claire, M. Uranchaud, Wm. Francis, A. Prevost and

 MuNTiKAL Watch Case Co., Manufacturers of G^ld 
 Watch Cases, Kactory, 125 Vitre street. — In reviewing the 
 manufacturing industries of Montreal, new firms and new 
 crafts are brought to light. Since 1887 the Montreal 
 Watch Case Co. have been located in the city, occupying 
 premises at la^ Vitre street. They *Te engaged in the 
 manufacture of watch cases, which they make only in gold. 
 This bo^eu U a new one in Montreal, and It is hoped 
 that the company will receive thit saccess which is due to 
 all home manuhcturers. The buildinn occupied consiaU 
 of four flits and covers a large area. The interior Is fully 
 equipped with all necessary machinery for th) proper 
 workuig of every branch of the bosiaeii, employment being 
 
 given to a large number of experienced hands. The com 
 pany manufacture exclus'vely for the wholesale trade. In 
 addition to turning 1 ut new goods they cany on a very ex- 
 tensive repatiing trade. This work is operated in a special 
 d'-nartment and comprises rc-engine turning, springing, 
 engraving, polishing, etc., and con titutcs an impoitant 
 branch of the trade. The prices charged for finiithed 
 goods and repairing work are such as to enable the com- 
 pany to compete with the immense rstablishments in the 
 United S ates. The work done in the repairing depart- 
 ment is steadily on the increase, at also in the manu- 
 facturing poriion ofthe business, and is positive proof ofihe 
 success of the concern. There is no doubt that great 
 energy and perseverance are required to push any new 
 indu try in a country, more especially in the face of an en- 
 ormous opposition by American makers in this line. 
 Great credit is due to the shareholders who have before 
 them every appearance of pro perity. The pre^ld^nt of 
 the company is Mr. M. Schwob, wh-) is well known 
 throughout the community as a buiineasmanof gri*at capa 
 bihty, Mr. C. H. A. Grant holds the position of general 
 manager, besides being one of the largest stockholders, and 
 has put forward every efl^ort towards the welfare of the 
 company. He is widely known as a man of keen buslaess 
 foresight, and holds the respect and conBdence not. only of 
 t le shiareholdsrs, whose interests he is managing, 'lut of 
 all with whom he has come in contact in social and com 
 mercial circles. 
 
 RoHKRT MiTciiiLL &« Co , Manufacturers of Brass and 
 C'^pi-er Goods, etc., corner Craig and St. Peter streets, and 
 St. Cunegonde. — The far famed mauufacturing concern of 
 Meurs. Robert Mitchell &* Co. has been actively engaged 
 in making brass and copper goods since 1851. Such bAl 
 been the prosperity of this house that it has been found 
 necessary to increase their premises from time to time. 
 The large building located at the comer of Craig and St. 
 Peter streets, was formerly occupied by them for a factory 
 as well as for offices and showrooms. A few years ago 
 the manufacturing portion of the business was removed to 
 St. Cunegonde and an exten^ve building at the corner of 
 Dominion and Albert streets built for the company's use. 
 This building is of red brick, has a height of four flats with 
 a surface area of 50x400 (eet. It is equipped through- 
 out in a most complete manner, with every kind of 
 machinery necessary in the manuiac'.nre of brass goods, 
 etc. Upon the first Ait is the foundry and engineering 
 lathe rooms. The second flat is taken up by the polishing 
 and lathe rooms, the later being used for turning the solid 
 brass work. The third storey is devoted to the nickel 
 plating, spinning and the more delicate portion of brass 
 and copper mannlacture. The basement is taken up by 
 the engine and pattern makers' rooms. The offices and 
 showroom) are still located at 673 to 682 Craig street, 
 utd luve a frontage on this street of lao feet with a depth 
 
 of 72 feet. 1'he showrooms are very handsomely fitted up 
 and the samples of finished goods are displayed to the 
 Kreatet*^ advantage. An inspection of the goods made by 
 Messrs. Robert Mitchell dr* Co. will show that their work 
 cannot be surpassed. Besides the ofTices and showrooms, a 
 portion of the building is used for engineers, plumbers, gas 
 and electric light fitters, who have their headquarters here, 
 and who number 50 experienced hands. In the fiacttfry at 
 St. Cunegonde employment is given to 275 mechanics, 
 founderi>, etc. There is no class of work in brass and 
 copper goods that cannot be turned out by this company. 
 Brass goods of all kinds, including copper goods, engin- 
 eers, plumbers, gas and steam-fitters* supplies, gas and 
 electric light fixtures, gas meters and spun work of every 
 description comprise the lines which are manufactured by 
 this house. Several travellers are in the employ of the 
 firm. The business of Messrs. Robert Mitchell &* Co. 
 covers all parts of the Dominion of Camula, throughout 
 which the output of the Montreal Brass Works has a high 
 reputation. Mr. Robert Mitchell, the senior member of 
 the firm, is a greatly esteemed member of the Board of 
 Trade. He is a man of exceptional ability and persever- 
 ance, being well known as a firm and solid business man. 
 As a proof of his excellent mansgement it is only neces- 
 saiy to look at the enormous output of the factory which 
 is used by preference throughout the length and breadth of 
 Canada. 
 
 Gko. Jackson, Engraver, 141 St. Peter street. — The 
 more an individual or community advances in civilization 
 the greater attention do they pay to matters of art. Mont ■ 
 real is well resreFcnted in the various bianches of artis'.ic 
 pursuit and the art of engraving, skilfully, jewellery, 
 metals, etc., has an able exponent in Mr. G !0. Jackson of 
 141 St. Peter street. Mr. Jackson began this enterprise in 
 1888, a comparatively short time ago, but by his own 
 untiring energy and superior business ability, by do- 
 ing only first class work and charging consistent but 
 moderate prices, he has built up a solid growing trade 
 second to none In these lines in Montreal. The premises 
 occupied are centrally and eligibly located and afford every 
 facility for carrying on each department of the engraving 
 business. It Is impossible to enumerate in detail the great 
 variety of work done in these lines by Mr. Jackson, but it 
 suffices to say that anything in the way ot difficult, delicate 
 lettering, unique monograms, novel society designs, and in 
 short every kind of fine metal engraving, is skilfully and 
 satiafactorily executed by this accomplished artist. Mr. 
 Jackson displays his refined taste in the selection of letters 
 and figures to suit the various associations and customers 
 for whom he does work, and it is needleu to say retains 
 the goodwill and respect of all who at any time have deal- 
 ings with him. Mr. JacKson also does an extensive trade 
 in engraving buslneu cards.

 CiiKisTiK, Hkown iV Co., Bi-wuit Manulacturtrs. Mont- 
 real Branch, 1 6 Do Bresolcs street.— That Montrc.il is the 
 central Imsincss jioint of the Dominion, reci»^ni/e(l liy 
 prominent man u lad u ring firms in uihcr citif--, is proviil l>y 
 the fact that they estal)Iish ngemies hiTi- and do a lar^je 
 and ever increasing trailc. Amung thnsc who have done 
 so Messrs. Christie, Brown & Co , of Toronto, take a fore- 
 most place. The Montreal house, siluati^ at i6 I >e Htt'soles 
 street, was o[>ehefl in the year 1879, and has since advanced 
 rapidly, doing a pros^Mrnuis and growing wholesale trade 
 throughout the Uoniinion. The premises are targe and well 
 lightetl, 50x120 feet, fidly mcu|i cd with a roniplele stuck of 
 the difTerent kinds of biscuits made \>y the lirni in Toronto. 
 The products of Messrs. Chri.siie, Brown \ ( o. arejuslly ie!e 
 brated throughout Canada, Ix-ing undoubtedly the finest of 
 their kind and equal to the IkjsI imjKjrted giKKN. They have 
 obtained numerous awards at the varlf)usc\|x«iinL>n5at which 
 they have Wen exliibiled. In onler 10 show the good keep- 
 ing qualities of the biscuits made by them, it may Iw men- 
 tioned that the firm sent an exhibit of nn less than four hun- 
 dred varieties of their manufactures to the Colonial and In- 
 dian exhibition in London. These s;iniples were admirfd 
 by everyone. The N|H.'cimens were so nvnuerous that Sir 
 Charles Tup|»er on showing them to U.K. II. the Prince of 
 Wales told him that it was the exhibit ol all the factories in 
 Canada, but on Ix'ing informed that lliey were ]<roduce«l by 
 one establishment, tlieir astonishment u.ts only 0'|ualle<l by 
 their admiration of such etiterprise. These biscuits after 
 having withstrKxl the Enghsh climate for six or seven months 
 were taken back to l'<iroiuo in asg<MMi condition as ever and 
 shown at the Dominion and Industrial exhibition. The 
 gocxi keeping qualities of their pro<lucts are due to the fac' 
 that Messrs. Christie, Brown A: Co. purchase only the fre-h" 
 est am! purest butter and other material, the resuh l»eing tha* 
 they surpass anything made in this cmmtry. Iti fact the 
 secret lies in the general cleanliness and the excellent (piatity 
 of the material used. They also import their own fruit from 
 Smyrna and Italy. All this goes to show tht; reason why 
 their prntlucis are sti jxipular throughout the length and 
 breadth of the ctmntry. In the course of the few years in 
 which the Montreal branch has lH.'cn in existence it has 
 pushed and <tevelojxrd the business of the firm lo a marked 
 degree. They are also agents for Messrs. Roliertson Brcis., 
 Confectioners, Toronto and require the services of ten 
 travellers. 
 
 A. VofiEi. \ ("0., Successors to jos. Steiner A; Hros.» 
 Importers and Kxporlers of Skins and I'urs, 535 and 537 St. 
 Paul street. — The business of Messrs. A. \'ogel \ Co.. Nos, 
 535 and 537 St. Paul street, was established some six years 
 agp as a branch of Messrs. Jos. Steiner iV Bros, of New 
 York. Mr. \'<Hjel was manager of thii house until Kebru- 
 uy I, 1889, when he was taken into ]>artnership. In 
 February 1891, he became sole owner, since which time he 
 hu assumed entire control. This Hrm, from the long ex- 
 perience of Mr. \'ogeI who is thoroughly actpininled with 
 the fur markets of the world, is ensure<I rapid nrrwress and 
 a brilliant future. They do an immense trade m skins, not 
 handling manufactured turs of any kind, their business con- 
 sisting solely of the purchasing of domestic an<l foreign furs, 
 
 raw and dressed, for export. .\n idea of the extent of the 
 business may U* gainetl when it i> ^aid that seven em- 
 ployees are constantly engaged sorting and {lacking the furs 
 in kales ready for shipment. They aU* employ Iniying 
 agents, who travel throughout the Dominion |Hircha>lng 
 pelts of all descriiitions. The siixk rarrieii )i)' such an 
 estalilishnieni is necessarily large ami varied, and owing to 
 the regular shipments made, constantly changing, thus en- 
 tailing constant care to keep it up to ihe standard refiuired. 
 The ex)N>rtations of this firm are princiiaUybto the I'nited 
 States and Cermany, and they have connections with large 
 businetks houses in these countries. iVrha^i^ ihc greater 
 c|uantity i>f furs go to Ixiprig, < iermany, from whence they 
 are (tislribute<l all over Kurope. The fact of $200,000 
 worth ha\ing Ihtch ex|>orled during the la«t year is ample 
 proof of the denianil there is in continental c<Hintries for 
 Canailian furs. Since the establishment of this house, six 
 years ago, its trade has developed to such an extent that the 
 four large Hals of the present warehouse are fully occupied. 
 Remaining in the charge of Mr. \'oge[, umlcr whom it has 
 pros|H'red in the \KUit, it i^ natural toext>ect ihat in the near 
 future it will become even more succcisful.

 in the ready-maile articles, Messrs. Sloan »V Son make a 
 specially of custom work, manufacturing the Hnest cpiality of 
 hiKits and shoes to suit all sizes and sha|>es of feti. They 
 also attend to the repairing ot Imois and shoes, which they 
 do in a prompt and workmanlike manner. Thai iheir long

 ItL'ing estaltlished years a^o. A Itranch uf this cstalilishint-iU 
 i> located at 6«i Itirihol •mew street, London, U-in^ known as 
 Mvans. Lescher & Wehli. A short lime previous to iS()4 
 Messrs. Kvans, Sons A: Co. decided to oiK-n a l>ranfh in 
 Canada. This derision was hastened by the fact that 
 Messrs. I^mplnnj^h tV (amphell, dru^giV'ts, of Nolru Dame 
 btret-i, intended to retire, and this lietng a suitable oppor- 
 tunity for the l-!t)^tish house to aci|uire a reliable anil old- 
 estahliitheil business in the largest city in the Dominion, the 
 purchase of the entire sitHk-in-trade was soon concluded. 
 The new Canndian tinn immediately commenced work under 
 the name of llvans, Mercer\ d. Their premises on Notre 
 Dame street s<«)n became too small lor their rapidly increas- 
 ing busine^vs, so that it was found necessary to lease the ad 
 j<iiniiw buildint;, uhich was litted up for their use and the 
 two tlirown into one. So yreal was the success of the 
 yoimj; (irm that at the end of three years these premises 
 proved to be l<K)contiiied for their wants. On this account it 
 was decided, after mature consideration, to build a ware- 
 house of iheir own, which woul<l better fill their growing 
 wants. It) following out this idea the property still ocruplen 
 by (hem on St. Jean Baptiste street was aenuired by pur- 
 chase and a large warehouse erected ihereim with every con- 
 \etiience, i'robably the principal feature of this building 
 was the lalioraiory. which was ecpiippctl with the latest im- 
 proved appliances for the manufacture of the numerous 
 pharmaceutical pre|>arati(ms reouireil in a business of this 
 description. In the year 1S7S the junior partner, Mr. .Mer- 
 cer, reiiretl, when Mr. Henry Sugden Kvans assumed the sole 
 control. Mr. Kvans was the e\ president of the Pharma- 
 ceutical S(x;iety of (ireat Hri(aii). Such was the increase in 
 the business ol this house that the building was fcmnd to be 
 loo small, necessitating the purchase of other proi>erty. The 
 building adjacenl was aci|uireil and made into nfliceii and 
 a factory for the manufacture of the numerous proprietary 
 medicines which they had obtained by purchase. In 18S4 
 Mr. Henry Sugden Kvans left the business, selling his rights 
 to the present company of Evans Si Sons, and accepted the 
 jiosition cf Dominion analyst. This company is incor)>or- 
 ateti under the " Limited Liabilities Act of (ircat Itritain,'' 
 the cipilal stock lieing held by the members of the Kngbsh 
 hrm. Later it was again fouml necessary to make alter- 
 atiun-i in this establishment on account of the growing de- 
 nian'l for the company's manufactures. The old buiUling 
 «as dismantled, the present structure Iieing fitted with new 
 engines and the most miKlern and improved machinery re- 
 i|Uired in a Hrst -class drug mill and pharmaceutical establish- 
 ment. These alterations were carrieil out under the personal 
 sui>erintendence of Mr. .\lfred Bickerton Evans— the resi- 
 dent Cannilian director and junior member of the firm of 
 Evans, Sons \- G). This is the most perfect establishment 
 
 of its kind in Canada, and reHects great credit on the 
 manat;ement of Mr. Evans. The manufactures of this house 
 include pharmaceutical preparations of all kinds, pro- 
 prietary medicines and spices. Some of the priru'i|)al may be 
 mentioned, such .19 tlrsina, Arctuaine, the Nurses' Treasure, 
 Evans' Cod Liver Oil, .Savar's Toilet Requisites, St. I^on 
 I'lorida Water, and the world-famed Montserrat Lime Kruit 
 luice and its prenarations. This last- is furnished by (he 
 English firm, and comes direct from the Olveston I'lanla- 
 tions, on the island of Mcmtserrat in the Kritish Bermudas. 
 It is the only juice which is supplied to the British navy. A 
 large numl>er of employes are engage<) throughout the year 
 in this pros)ierous establishment, among whom may l>e men- 
 tioned ten commercial travellers, who cover together every 
 jwrtion of the Dominion of Canada. Messrs. Evans \ Sons 
 also occupy extensive premises at 23 Front St. West, 
 I'oronto, which is under the able management of Mr. Jas. 
 I'earce (of Messrs. Jas. If. Fearce iV ('o ), whoact as agents 
 for Evans \ Sons. This house is found to be of thegrealest 
 convenience (o their Ontario customers, who speak favour- 
 ably of them as men of ability and exi>erience in their 
 line. Boston is also the location <if a factory and ware- 
 house, the address Iwing 13 Central Wharf, Boston, Mass. 
 This is the factory and distributing point for their United 
 Stales trade in proprietary medicines. The Montreal house 
 is titled up in a manner which cannot tie sur{>assed and the 
 manufactures turnetl out are i>f the most superior quality, 
 gaining favour wherever introduced. To Mr. AlfredBicker- 
 ton Evans is largely due their success in Canada ; and the 
 manner in which he has carried out the man^emenl places 
 him among the most able business men of the country. 
 Messr*. Evans N: Sons have received many medals for their 
 exhibits at various expositions, l>oth gold, silver and bronze. 
 In 1883, at the Calcutta exhibition, they gained a me<lal, 
 also at the Colonial exhibition in London in 1886. Many 
 medals have l>een gained at the exhibitions held in this coun- 
 try at Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa. 
 
 Bimk's Stovk Works, of Branlford, Ont., manufactur- 
 ers of stoves, ranges and hollowware, and all kinds of iron 
 castings. Eastern agency, 422 St. I'aul st cl'I. I. H. Han- 
 stm, manager. — The fountlry of Mr. Wm. Buck has liecome 
 so well known of late years that it is now generally called 
 " Buck's Stove Works. The business wasnrst commenced 
 as far back as 1850, but the eastern branch was not estab- 
 lished until 1886. Mr. ]. H. Hanson is the manager of the 
 Montreal branch, which is situated at 422 St. Paid street. 
 The nremises comprise a very spacious building, live stories 
 m height, with a depth of 7$ feel ami a width of 25 feet. 
 The foundry in Brantford is very extensive and covers several 
 acres of laml, giving employment to 200 men. This shows 
 in what favour the manufactures of Mr. Buck are heUl, In 
 Montreal, employment is given to five assistants. The busi- 
 ness consists of the manufacture ofstm-es, ranges, hollowware, 
 and every description of iron castings. The trade of this 
 concern extends throaghout the Dominion of Canada, and 
 has reached immense pro|H)rtions. The specialties of the 
 
 house are the "Radiant Home" stoves and the "Happy 
 Thought '* ranges, which have realised an enormous sale 
 and are greatly admired for their economy in fuel, in com- 
 parison to the large amount of heat given out by them. 
 Mr. Hanson, the mamger of the eastern de)^>t, has held 
 this position since the branch was opened in 1886. and has 
 galhereil together a^ large ami increasing trade. In doing 
 this he has given evidence of fine business attainments and 
 of the iMwsession of threat j>erseve ranee. He is rectigni/ed 
 by all as a thorough business man, and i« held in great 
 res|)ect for his unfailing integrity and courtesy. The two 
 lower Hats at the branch on St. I'aul street are handsomely 
 fitted up as show-rooms, anil here are a line selection of stoves 
 and ranges. Prominent among these are the "Radiant 
 Home" stoves and "Happy Thought** ranges. Iieautiful 
 iKith in design and workmanship. The interior of these 
 stoves and ranges shows to what an extent the economy of 
 combustion of fuel has lH.'en studied by Mr. Wm. Buck. In 
 them this has l>een brought to ]>erfection. A visit to the 
 ware-rooms of Buck's stove works by intending purchasers 
 of stoves or ranges from the trade will not lie thrown away, 
 as they will find here work which has no superior and prices 
 which are extremely moderate. 
 
 E. At'Mi, Mucilage Manufacturer, 75q Craig street.— 
 .Among the manv firms that contribute in no small degree 
 to the comfort :( business people at large, that of Mr. E. 
 Auld takes a prominent place. He established himself in 
 the year 1885 in the mucilage tracle, and has evidently 
 come*to stick. His premises at 759 Craig street are admir- 
 ably located, Ix'ing situated in the midst of the business 
 houses of the city, with whom 
 the most of his trade is done. 
 H is celebrate»l brand of rremium 
 Mucilage is in use in all the 
 
 f)rincipal offices and ware- 
 louscs in Montreal and other 
 towns in the Dominion. He 
 uses nothing but the purest gums 
 and other materials and can 
 therefore guarantee the keeping 
 quality of his products. That it 
 is of a c|uality that can compete 
 with any made elsewhere is 
 proved by the fact that he was 
 awarde<l the first prize and medal 
 at (he exhibition in Montreal in 
 theyear 1877. He furnishes con- 
 stant employment to6 conqwtent 
 assistants, who, under his )HTsonal supervision, are always 
 engagetl filling the orders on hand. His stall of travellers 
 carry his s.imples and solicit orders f.ir him throughout the 
 Dominion. Mr. Auld is well and favourably known in com- 
 mercial and social circles in Montreal as a man of keen fore- 
 sight and business ability. He takes an active interest in 
 all that goes on around him for the benefit of Montreal and 
 its trade.

 the ranks of Canadian publishers and lMK)kselIen>. Messrs.

 which are a cretl't alike to the firm and the country. 
 Among these may l»e mentionetl *' Notes of a \'oyage lo the

 taken of a publication hamlled by them called " Historic 
 pages of Canada," by iWnjamin Suite, a line 12 in>>., volume 
 of 500 )iages, which has met with great success. The firm 
 has always deserved the enci>uragemcni it has rrcei\ed, 
 having l>een ever rea<ly to furward the work of deserving 
 authors. As an instance of their enterprise i( may be said 
 that the work entitled " .\ l-eudal Colony/' by M. Kameau, 
 the historian, was for sale in their establishment two months 
 l>efore it could Ik.* purchased in i'aris where it had t>cen 
 printeil. In fact their activity in this uirticutar line has in 
 creaseil the sale of standard works in Canada to a consider- 
 able extent and has tilled a bmg felt want. They alMt deal 
 in secondhand lKM>ks, and issue a lalalogueof rare Utoks 
 that can l>e priKured fnnn ihein. Lovers of dIiI and curious 
 volumes will appreciate the advantages offere<) by this s|)ecial 
 (le)iartnient,as the proprietors having connections with leail

 Mr. Klavien J. * Iranger is a mentlier of the hoard of Trade

 that ladici tre luccetifully conducting butinet* •<peraiioni, 
 that compare favourably with any carried 01 by the male 
 MX. Kspccially do ladict find an active *nd congenial 
 field or rnlerprife in the millinery trade and in Montreal 
 one or the most fashionable and pi>f>ular Mores in this con- 
 nection is that of Mifs Hyrne, who<e spac ou? roooas sre 
 lucated at 7«»a and 794 l>orchrs*er itrect. Since 1871 this 
 lady has been prominently idenllhed with the millinery 
 interests of this city, and has had a lucceutul commercial 
 career ; this result being mainly due 10 her own leal and 
 energy in keeping nothing in stock bat that she could 
 commend to her patrons. Hy this system of ttraightfar- 
 ward dealing ihe has steadily retained her connection. 
 The premises occupied are admirably adapted to the busi 
 neas, being on the ground floor ut a large four storey brick 
 building, and are certainly among the most attractive on 
 the street, the thrre handsome \t\mt ((lais windows being 
 always tastefully dreised with a diversity nf head wear, in 
 the latest styles ani newest fashions. The interior of the 
 eaUblisbment is even more pleasing, and a choice assort- 
 ment of bonnets and hats of all desciiptions are here to be 
 feen, fur ladies, misaei and children, trimmed to suit any 
 features or complexion, and all patrons receive the beneht 
 of Mils Byrne's splendid taste and years of experience in 
 these lines. She gives employment to as many as twenty 
 assistants, all skilled and fashionable milliners ; popular 
 prices prevail, courteous attention is piid to all, and 
 emoturoent is sought rather by increaaetl sales than by 
 large individual profits. The fine work done in this estab- 
 lishment has drawn about the house a wide and ever In* 
 creasing circle of high clau patrons. Miss Byrne it 
 widely and favourably known in busineu and social circles, 
 and is a firit-clau business lady, a desirable and popular 
 milliner, and as a promoter of fashion in Montreal stands 
 pre-eminent.

 SrANDARii Liva, A&sukanck Co., W. M. Ranuy, man- 
 ager, StuMlarcl Bnildingt, 157 St. JasMt itr««t.— In thett 
 dayt accidrnts happen 10 freqnenlljr, and liCe at the 
 beit ii to unc^rliiP, (hit f"r a man to neglect to inuirt his 
 lite, in order to provide for those dependent on him is in- 
 excusable. The mo*t eminent authoiities in the world agrre 
 in iheir commer 'aiiun of the present xystem of life as- 
 surance- It is one that is katisfactory in the highest degree 
 t<i all parties, alWrWn'* thote who in«ure the certain know- 
 ledge that their Ur. iS'-s, or others who look to them for 
 «uppoit, will be prov ledfor, shnald they die unexpe«'tedly. 
 NAturilly, those dcsinf'g to ciTect Insarance nn their lives, 
 hrit look round to select a strong company from which to 
 secure a policy. One of the best concerns in this line in 
 Montreal is that of the Standard Life Assurance Co., whose 
 ritices are located in (he Standard huildirg, 157 St. James 
 street. The rates ufthis company will compare favourably 
 with any other company dning business in Canada. It was 
 established in the yesr 18^5, ard since that date has ac- 
 quired a reputation Kcond to rone in the world, all just 
 claims being paid in frll and wilhfwt unnccct ary delay. 
 The invested hinds « f the Sra'dard amount t'* over $36- 
 500,000, with an annual income of $4 850 cxx), or over 
 $i3,iooaday. Ihat the company have taken no (imall 
 part in advancing Canadian interests i^ evidenced by the fact 
 that they have invested in Canada over $6,000,000 Under 
 (he pruvisioDs of the Canadian L/le Assurance Act of 1877 
 this company's risks in Canada are covered by funds in- 
 ve<(ed here, so that the I>.>minion will reap the full advan- 
 tage nf the provident accumulation of its people to the 
 Standard IJfc Assurance Co. The terms governing the 
 policies! -sued from this oflice are of the most liberal kind, 
 ofTcrinK alt possible advantages to any policy-hotdtr who 
 might beC'ime temporarily embarrassed, thirty day« grace 
 being allow-d for payment of premiums ; and in the eve.it 
 of death taking place during the currency uf those days he- 
 tore pay>ncnt of the premium, the policy will be as valid 
 and elTeciual on payment of the premium being afterwards 
 made. Claims are se(tled in Montreal, thus giving the 
 company all the advantages of a local office with henehts of 
 an extended business and connection otherwise. These and 
 other facts, together with the universally acknowledged 
 stability, position and liberality of the company in Great 
 Britain and Canada, and in fact throughout the whole 
 world, cannot fail to recommend it to persons intending to 
 effect I>fe assurance. The Montreal office is under the able 
 supervision of Mr. W. M. Kamsay. Mr. Kamsay, from his 
 long and varied experience, is thoroughly compete'-t tu look 
 after the interes's of the corporati 'n in Canada, the success 
 attending it since his accession to the management being 
 ample evidence of that fact. The Canadian Board of Direc> 
 torn are : Messrs. Jas. A. Gillespie, Sir A. T. Cialt, 
 G CM G., E. B. Grecn»hields, the Hon. j. J. C Abbc.tr, 
 <J.<'., Premier of Canada, and Sir '. Hickson, ex-manager 
 of the Grand Trunk Kailway, gentlemen well kmiwn in this 
 cily, and who have the confidence and good will of all the 
 company's numerous patrona. 
 
 Canadian Bank of Commkrcb.— Whether its record 
 for more than twenty years, its present financial standing, 
 or the character of the gentlemen associated with it be con 
 sidered, the Canadian Hank of Commerce stands in the 
 first rank of the financial institutions of the Dominion. 
 Only one Canadian bank— the Bank of Montreal— has a 
 larger paid up capital. That it is the banker oj th^ 
 provincial government of Ontario ia the best . i- 
 dence that can be adduced of the absolute public 
 confidence the Bank of Commerce has inspired. 
 The head olfice is in Toronto, where the bank owns 
 and occupies a ma^tnificent stone building, hat dbom^ 
 in appe^iaii'-e, cen'rally located and iu the fuller' seD»e a 
 tiiliaaMtal cdtfi e. This l>ank was e^tablishtd in the )enr 
 186;, witha ii«id iipcapitil oi $1,000,000. The am-unt 
 incrta^d until in 1874 it had leachcd (he en irmuu!i mm of

 Ever hincc lis estaMishmeni the bank has paid on an av<-r

 mcnt than thii Ik nece>sary touctiinu ihe matter i.f \ rudvnce 
 and foresight in the management of its affair;. The s'.a'r- 
 ment of 30th May, 1891, shows the a«setB of this bink to be 
 $2).3fx>,677 61, and liabilities $18.438,27107. The 
 province of Ontario has special cane to legard this bank 
 with pride. The importance of having in its central city a 
 financial insitution with the record of the Bank of Com- 
 merce, aitd with branches reaching out t" all parti of the 
 province, is from a busineu point of view inestimable. The 
 branch sysiem, as is clearly shown by Mr. B. K. Walker, 
 general manager of this bank, ii one of the most valuable 
 Katures or the Canadian general banking sytt n\, afT rdirg 
 as It does greater &«cuniy to business interests 1 ban could 
 be obtained f'om a lot of separate arwl perhaps financially 
 weak institutions. The Bank of Commerce has branches 
 at Ayr, Barrie, Belleville, Berlin, Blenheim, Brantford, 
 Cayuga, Chatham, CoUingwood, Dundat, DunnvtUe, Gait, 
 Goderich, tJuelph, Hamilton, Jarvis, London, Montreal, 
 Woodstock, Orangeville, Ottawa, Paris, Parkhill, Petcr- 
 burough, St. Cathaiines, Sarnia, Fault Ste. Marie, .^a- 
 forth, Simcoe, Stratford, Stralhroy, Tborold, Toronto, 
 
 Walkerton, Walkerville, Waterloo and Windsor. It bu 
 six branches in Toronto, in addition to the bead offices. Its 
 New York agents are Alex lAird and Willi- m Gray. It 
 has bankers and correspondents in British Co!timl)ia, Great 
 Britain, India, China and J'*pan, Australia and New /ea- 
 Itnd, Paris, Brussels, Chiragu, San Krancisco, Bermuda 
 and Jamacia. Commercial credita are issued for uae in 
 Europe, East snd West Indies, Chins, Japan and South 
 America, Australia and New /ea'and. Sterling and 
 American exc^ange is bought and sold. CoUec 
 tions are made on the nost favourable terms, and 
 intere«t is allowed on deposits. In short, all the bosi- 
 neis of a prosperous and thnroughly established banking 
 institution is conducted. The ravings department it one 
 that makes this bank of special set vice to people of rniall or 
 moderate msans. Interest is compound* d twice a year, ht- 
 ing ad-led to the principal at the end nl the months of May 
 ard November, The tlirectori of this bank are :--Ge *. A.

 manager and assistant general manager are Hessrt. B, E. 
 Walker and J. 11. Plummer respectively, Mr. A. 
 11. Ireland, inapector t and Mr. G. de C. 
 O'Grdy, assistant Inspector. The list of Directors 
 includes the names nf men who are recognized through- 
 out Canada as being cbaracteiised by the highest 
 integrity, coupled with rare ability and energy. Mr. Cox, 
 the president, and an cfficcr also of the Canada Life, la onr 
 of the leading business men in the Dominion. The general 
 manager, Mr. B. K, Walker, is widely known for t!ie 
 ability and force with wh'ch he dlKuss^ in the interests of 
 Canadian banks, the question that arose I''t* year in con- 
 nection with the renewal by government ''e charter of 
 banks. His arguments before the privy ci against an 
 
 arbitrary ;eserve was a maticrly exposition ol u. »se, and 
 made a strong impression on the mind of irery OMmber of 
 the government, a*- d he was perionally complimented by the 
 Minuter of Finance. His pai iphlet contrat ling the Cana< 
 dian and United States bankii'<g system, was clear, ex- 
 haustive and convincing, and excited the attention of the 
 leading journals in all parts of Canada. His own previous 
 experience in banking in the cily of New York materially 
 aided him In comparing the two systems. With such a 
 man as its general manager, posseuing a complete knowl- 
 edge not nnly of general principles but of practical methods 
 and resulls both on this and the other I'de of the ocean, it 
 is not surprising that the Bank of Commerce has taken rank 
 as one of the first in Canada in stability, enterprise and 
 wealth. Mr. Walker hat been ably assisted by Mr. Plum- 
 mer, formerly assiitant general manager of the Merchants 
 Bank of Canada, and a gentleman of fine ability and long 
 experience, whoae contril^tions to the literature of banking 
 have been of great value. The Montreal branch of this 
 bank is situated in the Standard Building, '57 S». James 
 street. Its manager, Mr. A. M. Crombie, has had a long 
 experience in the banking business in Canada. He was 
 for some years manager of branches of the Merchants Bank 
 of Canada in different parts of Ontario, and for seven years 
 l!ie local manager in Montreal. Under his able manage- 
 ment and with an efficient stsIT, the Montreal branch of the 
 Bank of Commerce grows steadily in public favour and tn 
 the extent of business transacted. 
 
 Till RoYAi. Canadian Kirx ani> Marinb iNsraAKci

 the many first clau and reliable fire insurance companies 
 transacting bnsincu in Montreal and vicinity, one of the 
 most prominent is the Royal Canadian Fire and Marine 
 Insurance Co., whoae head ( Oicea are siinaled at No. 157 
 St. James street. Since the incorporation of this comiiaBy 
 in 1873 it has gained for iticif a reputation exccllol by 
 none, the square dealing and prompt lettleosent of loasea 
 having recommended them to all commercial men who 
 have goods and buildings to insur*. Being (as its name in- 
 dicates) a purely ( anadian company, the money made by

 intereati of the Dominion They transact a fire in>urance 
 bosiness only, having lately retired fmm the marine twu 
 ness, and all r.^ks assumed by them are carefully tn%(tecteil. 
 They issue policies in all parts of Canada, having over one 
 hundred and forty agents who atleml to the interests of the 
 corporation. The business in Montreal is attended to by 
 eight com|«tent assistants, und< r the supervision of the able 
 manager, Mr. G H. McHcnry. The capital of the Koyal 
 Canadian amounts to $500,000, with assets of $768,426 
 They have deposited with the Canadian tiover-iment ibe 
 sum of $56,fxx> for the security of its policy holdcts. 
 From the foregoing it will be seen that the company, a] 
 though comparatively young, is to be placed on an rqaal 
 footing with the most reliable and strongest companie* in 
 the world. The officers of the company are : Presadeni, 
 Dnncan Mclntyre, Esq. ; vie. ;iresident, J. K. Thi> aodeaa ; 
 Hy. Cutt, secretary. Mr. (.. It. McHenry, the manager, 
 is a gentlemtn possessed of m** extenvire and >aried ex- 
 perience in the business, and is thoroughly qnahfied for ibe 
 resporsible position that he holds. 
 
 WAI.TIR Townseni), Railway Supplies, Siaodaid Baifd

 about three years, but owing to Hnt-class connections in 
 England it fias done a large business in steel rails, cotton

 taking this fact into consideration the rates charged are ex 
 tremely low. These parlours were e«tabHshed in the year 
 1887, and since that time, by the quality ol the goods made 
 and sold here, have built up a reputation and trade ex- 
 celled by few in the city. As an evidence of the amount 
 of business done it may be said that employment is given lo 
 no *ess than twenty tive skilled operators, who under Mrs.

 making up the many orders on hand, a specialty being 
 made of hand painting, stamping and embroidery.

 oils. The premises occupied at 146 McOill strert are 
 also very extensive, consisting of a five storey building, 
 having a frontage on McGill street of 15 feet ard being lio

 countries. The firm employs about bo :iien, the greater 
 number being occupied in the works, and are all experienced 
 in the manufacture of colours and varnishes. This house 
 is represented by several traveller*, who include in their 
 different circuits every part of the Dominion. The firm of

 everywhere tccurded a high rank, due to their superior 
 (juality. Everything Is done by the proprietor to make the 
 gunds of the finest rrad*, and nothing of an inferior class 
 is used in the works or turned out of the establishment. 
 
 Gauhkri Bros, Leather Manufacturers, 30 Lemoine 
 st'eet ; Facti rics, 24 Wellington rtreet.— Since 1878 this 
 firm has been engaged in the manufacture of leathers. 
 During th« thirteen years that have passed since their com- 
 mencement, the bosiness hat made great strides, and to day 
 the leatt-ers of Galibert Hrot. are very much sought after. 
 1 he works ate located at the corner ol Kirg and Welling- 
 ton streets, and covering an area of 150x56 feet, and 110x60 
 feet, thef e buddings are respectively three and six stories in 
 height. Besides these two establishments, the firm occupies 
 premifes at 30 Lemoine s'rret, which are the headquarters 
 of th*! business, and in which are Incated the offices and 
 store rooms, f hey c< ver an area of 30x35 feet, and are 
 fitted up with every convenience necessary. Here may be 
 seen the many var'eties ol gootU manufactured by this 
 house, which includes all kinds of domestic leathers. 
 Special attention is paid to the manufacture of fheep, goat 
 and calf skins, and the products turned out are of excellent 
 qua<:;y. Every process ix marked by the strictest super- 
 vuion, and the greatest care is taken to make the lealhere 
 of superior grades. In various duties fifty employees are 
 engaged during the whole year, and are all experienced 
 men at the trade. In reviewing the leather business of 
 Montreal it is found to have made the gieatest possible in- 
 crease during the last twenty- five years. It is now one of 
 the principal manufactures of Montreal, many thousands of 
 persons being employed throuchout the year. As manu- 
 facturers of leather Meurs. Galibert Bros, have become 
 recognized as one of the principal firms. The proprietors 
 have always put forth every efTurt towards the increase of 
 their trade, and have long been known as most energetic 
 and thorough going business men. They have by their 
 united abilities, not only established a high reputation for 
 tbembclves, but have built up a busineu which extendi over 
 every portion of the Dominion. Several travellers are 
 continually engaged visiting the numerous tradesmen with 
 whom business connections have been estabUihed. The 
 large annuil trade now done by this house Is the most 
 positive proof that can be brought forward to show that 
 their leathers are all that they are guaranteed to be. 
 Branches have been established in (Quebec and Toronto 
 for the better accommodation of their customers.

 The pharmacy of Mr. S. Lachance, at No. 1538. 1540 St. 
 Catherine street, is one of the most attractive and tastefully 
 
 arranged^in'Montreal. The Imsine-ss was established away 
 back in 1879 and since then has lieen must sucrevJul. Few 
 druggists, an<l by su|K>rior man.igement ami s|iecicl enter- 
 prise and ability alone, re.ich such a prominen' position in 
 the profession as Mr. I^ichance. The premises are admir- 
 ably located for business, and are extensive, havii^ dimen- 
 sions of aUuit 20xfx} feet. Seven well qualifie<l employees 
 are kepi, nearly all of whom are skilled am) fiilly qualified 
 pharmacists. A splendiil stock of p\ire and fresh drugs ami 
 chemical*^ always fills the laU>ralory i>f this fine firm, and a 
 very choice a.ssortmen( of handsome toilet articles, delicate 
 
 K'rfumes ^l^nges, and all other druggists' sundries are kept. 
 
 'he proprietary niedecines of this hmise are important, 
 |N>piilar and well known remetties. Some of the specialties 
 comprise Father Malhew remedy, which is a delightful 
 pre]>aration destined to give immetliate relief ti» the diseases 
 for which it is specially adapleil ; Dr. Sey's remetly. equally 
 efiicaciaus in dysjtepsia, etc. ; the Persian l..«»lion, a wonder-

 Mr. lachance stands unexcelleil. The dlsficnsarv is under 
 the |>erMmal su|>er\ision of Mr. I^nchancc and is thoroughly

 remedies were manufaclure<l by Mr. Lachance ai his very- 
 large lalxiralury at 1492 and 1494 St. Catherine street as 
 sjH'cialties for the celebrated Jamaica F.xhibition, is sufficient 
 to stamp this pharm.acist as one in the fri»nt rank of his pro-

 THE DOMINION TLUUSTRATED. 
 
 WORKS OP THK ROYAL KLRCTRIC CO., WBM.INOTON STREKT. 
 
 The Roval Electric Co,, 54 to 70 Wellington itre«t, 
 MootreftI, <Jue. — This company started in 1883 under the 
 name of the Hiomfon-Iloaston Electric Co., which was 
 changed to the American Electric &* Illuminating Co., 
 and again in 1884 to its present name. This company 
 owns the larc est factory for the manufacture of electrical 
 supplies in Canada, and is doing by far the largest busi- 
 ness in this line in the Dominion. The headquarter pre- 
 mises occupied at present are located on Wellington street 
 from <^neen to Prince ttreet, the numbers runnini; from 
 54 to 70, with a depth of 150 feet. The main building is 
 four stories high and these extensive premises are becom- 
 ing too small fur the work of the company, which during 
 the last two years has been increasing very rapidly. In 
 1890 a large new building was erected at the comer of Si. 
 Ignace and Water streets acd equipped with boilers, en- 
 gines, shafting, dynamos, etc. This station is recognized 
 as being one of the bnt equipped lighting stations in 
 America, and there has been ample allowance made for 
 increasing. The factory on Wellington street is equipped 
 thr3ughout in a manner which cannot be surpassed, and in 
 conjunction with the lighting station, engines of over 3,500 
 horse power are in daily use. The Royal Electric Com- 
 pany manufacture all descriptions of electrical supplies 
 h-om the most minute article required in an electric light 
 station op to the largest sized dynamos and power genera- 
 tors. They are now lighting the streets of Montreal with 
 2,000 candle power arc lamps and a few incacdescent 
 lights, in the aggregate about 1,000 street arc lamps. 
 The supply of electricity for this tervice is so arranged 
 that in cate of any accident happening to either of the 
 genera tng stations a full supply of current can be fur- 
 nished from either station to carry on the service. In ad- 
 dition to these street lights the company supply nightly 
 about 500 arc lights in stores, public halls, and large build- 
 ings, and are furnishing incandescent lights in nearly every 
 part of the city. At present they supplv over 4.01.0 in- 
 candescent lightF, but expect to increase this service to at 
 least io,coo during the pret-ect summer- The VVrllirgton 
 street premif es which cover an area of about 60 000 square 
 feet ate occupied by two large lighting station!^, besides the 
 main building, in which are situated the onices, tool and 
 stock rooms, lathe and drill rooms, carpenter shop, testing 
 room, wire covering departments, etc The ofifices aie 
 fitted up with a view to the convenience both of the em- 
 ployees and customers. In the tool and stock room the 
 miscellarwous supplies needed by the various departments 
 are kept on hand, beiri; arranged with the greatest care 
 and all subject to an admirable system of checking The 
 lathe room, in which are found lathes cf various sorts, 
 drilling machmes, punch presses and vaiied nther metal 
 working machinery, has the entire (pace of 125 x Co feet 
 occupi^ by these. Another room is set apart for the 
 cullers and ovens, where the transformers, armatures, etc., 
 are baked. The tecond floor n almost occupied complete- 
 ly by brass workers, and here can be seen lathes and 
 several classes of machinery. In the lamps and trans- 
 former testing department, there is a rack which holds 
 over irjo arc lampt, and the testing rack tor incandescent 
 lights, which covers nearly one side of this large room. 
 Passing on, the winding room is entered, where armatures 
 of every description and size are wound, fields for all sorts 
 
 of dynamos, transformer coils, magnets, shunts, and so 
 forth. Next to this is a large room appropriated to the 
 use of the chief electrician as a laboratory. Here is found 
 a most complete collection of testing instruments. On the 
 fourth floor the wire covering department is located, and 
 about 40 machines are constantly engaged in covering wire 
 with various sorts of insulating material, all of which wire 
 is used by the compsny in carrying out t.ieir contracts. 
 In the different departments, about 250 hands are con- 
 stantly employed, besides which the company employ a 
 large staff to carry out their various contracts, not only in 
 Montreal, but all over the Dominion. The machinery and 
 apparatus turned out by the company is well known 
 throughout the Dominion of Canada, and is equal, if not 
 superior, to that manufactured by any other electrical 
 company. Over 9,000 arc lights and 35.0*^0 incandescent 
 lights with the necessary dynamos to operate same, as wi 11 
 as wire and all kinds of supplies, have been manufactured 
 by this company, and are in use in the various cities and 
 towns of Canada. The incaLdescent system has been 
 worked up to this magnitude during the past two years, as 
 previous to 1889 the company devoted its entire time to 
 
 the manufacture of arc apparatus. The stock of this com* 
 pany is held eiitlr«ly by Canadians. The Hon. J. R. Thi- 
 baudean, Senator, is president, W. J. Withall, Esq., hold- 
 ing the vice-chair, the other members of the Itoard being 
 Messrs. 0. R. Robertson, E. A. Small, Wm. Cauils, J. 
 A. L. Strathy, K. U tieique and Allan Macdonell, all of 
 Montreal, and John T. Ross, of V>uebec. Mr. Chat. W. 
 Ilagar holds the position of general manager and secretary, 
 being assisted by Mr. II. H. Ilenshaw at treasurer, Mr. 
 David A. Starr at general agent, and Mr. Fred. Thomion 
 as chief electrician. In the light and power department 
 he is assisted by Mr, D. Thomson as superintendent, and 
 Mr. K. H. Uadger, jr., as electrician. Mr. Geo. Hunt is 
 the chief engineer in charge of the company's extensive 
 steam plant. The Royal Electric Co. has a capital stock 
 of $375,000.00. and the company are proprietors of the 
 lliomton, and Thomson* Houston systems 01 electric light* 
 ing for the Dominion, and manufiuture all the apparatus 
 of these well known systems. They are now branching 
 out into the manufacture of generators and motors for the 
 transmission of power, and we hope next year to give an 
 account of a large addition to the present workv, for the 
 sole purfMse of furnishing power. Too much praise can* 
 not be given to the management of the company for the 
 successful result of the past five years services. 
 
 Fred Baisch, Kile Maker, Works, Cote St. Paul.— 
 Germans, not only in their native land, but throughout the 
 civilized world, are distinguished for their mechanical 
 genius in some form or other ; and in reviewing the com- 
 mercial and industrial interests of Montreal, it is fitting 
 that one of the representative manufactories which is con- 
 ducted by a gentleman from that country, should receive 
 special mention, namely, the file works owned by Mr. 
 Fred BauKh, of Cote St. Paul, near this ci'y. This enter- 
 prise was founded in a comparatively small way over 
 twenty years ago, and the high character of the goods 
 |rnduc:d, conpled with the extensive operations of (he 
 kodse, soon made it conspicuous, and it has steadily in- 
 creaud to its present satisfactory and desirable position in 
 the trade. The factory is eligibly located near the caoal 
 at Cote St. Paul, which affords first-class water power, 
 and is suitable and commodious, comprising a building two 
 and three stories in height, and covering an area of 60 x 30 
 feet, every facility being supplied for the rapid prosecution 
 of this important industry. All the most modern machin* 
 ery and appliances are provided, and no pains or expense 
 have been spared in fittmg up th.s establishment in point 
 of completeness, second to none* Employment Is lur- 
 nished for about twenty hands, while all operations are 
 carefully supervised by Mr. liautch, and satisfaction is 
 guaranteed to all patrons. Files of all descriptions (this 
 firm making a specially of the celebrated ''Anchor Brand" 
 of files, which are without doubt unrivalled in the Domin- 
 ion) and almost endless varieties are here manufactured, 
 and every piece of steel is tested and thoroughly tried be- 
 fore leaving these works. The trade is, of course, whole* 
 sale, and extends throughout Canada, being large and 
 constantly growing, Mr. Bausch is a skilled mechanic, and 
 has built up a solid business concern, which is a credit to 
 himself as well as to Montreal. He is popular socially 
 and otherwise, as may be easily seen from the fact that he 
 is honored by the position of mayor of the village, and it 
 is needless to say retains the gocd will and patronage of all 
 who at any time have deaUngs with him.

 street. — Among the many Hrms that have contributed to 
 Montreal's commercial proitierity it that of Delorme Hros., 
 composed of Messrs. C. K. Dielorme and <i. Delorme. 
 Since the inception of their business nine years ago they 
 have teen going steadily on from year to year, until at 
 present they occupy the Bne premises at No. 15 De Bresoles 
 street. This building is five stories high, well lighted and 
 well suited to their purposes, being near the centre of the 
 business portion of the city and possessing good sitlpping 
 facilities. Although carrying on the business of general 
 hardware agents they make a specialty of carriage and 
 
 saddlery hardware, and carry a large and well assorted 
 stock of the lines they represent. The firm employ a good 
 staffof clerks with whose aid they endeavour to keep up 
 to the orders constatilly coming in. Their trade extends at 
 present throughout the Provinces of Quebec, New Bruns- 
 wick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Both 
 partners are well known as men of keen foresight and 
 financial ability. They are members of the Board of Trade 
 and also of the Chambre de Commerce, Mr. C. E. 
 I~)elorme being a member of the coup il of the latter. 
 Needless to say they take a prominent ^^rt in all schemes 
 for the benefit of Montreal and its trade. 
 
 UiiiB &' Co., Merchant Tailors and Uentlemen's Haber- 
 dashers, 148 St. James street. — This collection of interest- 
 ing items regarding the old established and flourishing 
 business houses of Montreal would be incomplete without 
 some description being given of the house of Gibb &* Co., 
 Merchant Tailors, of 148 St. James street, and 19 Koyal 
 Kschan^e, London, Kngland. This firm is the oldest 
 one of Its kind in Montreal, and is to this city what 
 I'oole is to London,— in fact Gibb's inits are known 
 throughout Canada as the best. The firm was originally 
 founded in the year 1775 by Benaiah Uibb, who conducted 
 it successfully for some filty years, and was then succeeded 
 by his son, I), (iibb, who carried it on for forty years, when 
 the present proprietors, Messrs. J. D., A. U and E. M. Gibb, 
 succeeded him. Their premises on St. James street are 
 advantageously situated near the Post office, French Cathe- 
 dral, St. IJiwrence Hall and other public buildings, and 
 thus ittract a high clau of transient trade. The interior is 
 spacious and well lighted, and is fitted in a most attractive 
 way for the accommodation of the large and varied stock, 
 as weil as for the comfort of the public. However, it la 
 the stock that takes the attention of the average visitor, lor 
 nowhere else in town can such a fine selection of English 
 and Scotch goods, linings and furnishings, be found. Suits 
 in the latest styles are cut and made by experienced tailors, 
 wlio thoroughly understand their business. The extent of 
 their connecUon may be judged from the fact that they em- 
 ploy no less than 300 personi, who are constantly busy on 
 the orders on hand. In addition to the above they keep a 
 choice selection of gentlemen's furnishings, of imported 
 m^, including the latest stylet in cravats, collars, shirts 
 and other goods. The members of the firm are well and 
 favourably known in Montreal, and, needleuto say, retain 
 the esteem and good-will of a large and constantly growine 
 circle of patrons.

 times, enjoying constant success. Many alterations 
 have been made in the store, but for the last few years it 
 has remained in its present condition, and is surpassed by 
 no other retail house in the city. The magni5cent plate-

 Stanparp Caki) and Pai'IR Co.. Manufactureri of

 street, Montreal ; Factory, St. John's, P.Q.— In everjr line 
 of busineti the namber of manufacturer! ii continually in- 
 creasini;, lome few of whom gain positions of great popu- 
 larity in their lines. In the manufacture of paper, men- 
 tion must be made of the Standard Card and Paper Co. 
 Although only a young concern, it has already built up a 
 rapidly increasing business, distributed throughout the I>o- 
 mmion The success which has been attained since their 
 establishment is positive proof that their output is 
 of excellent quality. Their headquarters are located at 
 303 St. James street. Extensive premises situated at St. 
 Johns, P.<^).( are occupied by th's company for the purpose 
 ot manufacture. The factory consists of a building four 
 stories in height, and having a superficial area of 120 a 35 
 feet. The 6rst floor is given up to the calendaring portion 
 of the bufiness, endless rolls of paper pass between the 
 rollers from morn to night, receiving the highly finished 
 snrfices for which this company has already gained a repu- 
 tation. The second flat is fitted up with powerful cutting 
 machinery, the third being set apart for the coloring de- 
 partments, and the fourth, or top storey, being devoted to 
 the manufacture of cardboard, which forms no inconsider- 
 able portion of the business of the company. The entire 
 factory is fitted up with machinery of the latest and most 
 improved designs, the whole being run by steam power. 
 The manner in which this factory is laid out and operated 
 denotes that the management is thoroughly conversant 
 with every detail of the bu'-iness, and that every care is 
 taken to keep up the high standard, which baa so forcibly 
 marked their product since their establishment. Experi- 
 enced men are employed in the various departments. Al- 
 though they manufacture surface coated papers of the finest 
 quality, special attention is given tc coated book and 
 lithographic paper, and in this line they bid fair to become 
 very sncceuful mnkers. Two commercial travellers are 
 constantly on the road. The president, Mr. W. J. Cook, 
 holds the reins of management, which he operates in a 
 thoroughly business>like manner. He is widely recog- 
 nized throughout the D'^minion as a man of undoubted 
 ability. Mr, G. C. Nicholson is vice president of the 
 company, and the duties of secretary and treasurer are 
 ably fttl611ed by Mr. S. B. Smith. (Jreat praise is due to 
 the company, and more especially to Mr. W. J. Cook, for 
 the manner In which the business has been built up and 
 placed upon so solid a basis. The Sabiston Lithographic 
 and Publishing Co., publishers and proprietors of the 
 Dominion Ili.ustratkd, are large buyers of paper manu- 
 factured by the Standard Card and Paper Co. 
 
 T. S. ViroND &* Son, Provision Merchants, 32, 34 
 Foundling street. — Of the nnmeroua prosperous and in- 
 fluential firms engaged in the provision business in Mont- 
 realf Messrs. T. S. Vipond ^ Son take a prominent place. 
 
 They are one of the oldest houses in the trade in the city, 
 having been established for some twenty-five years. During 
 that time they have identified themselves in every way with 
 the great development of the produce traflic in Canada, 
 and have, by steady application and perseverance, built up 
 a connection equalled by few. The premises they now oc- 
 cupy. No, 33, 34 Foundling street, are well suited to their 
 purposes, being spacious and well lighted, and fitt'd with 
 every convenience for the handling of heavy articles of all 
 kinds. They are located in the midst of the wholesale 
 houses, and easily reached from all the principal points of 
 receipt and delivery. They deal in all kinds of produce, 
 both of foreign and domestic growth, fruits, u-c., from the 
 
 Mediterranean; Canadian cheese, eggs, butter and pork, 
 vegetables, in fact everything in this line can be procured 
 here. This firm make a specialty of pork and provisions. 
 In their business thev do considerable local trade, supply- 
 ing many of the retailers ot Montreal and vicinity with their 
 goods. They require the services of three travellers, who 
 are on the road, securing orders for them from customers 
 all over the Dominion, The partners in this establish- 
 ment are well known in the city. as keen and energetic 
 men, having a thorough knowledge of their buslneu. Mr, 
 T. S. Vipond is a member of the Board of Trade, and, 
 needleu to say, takes an active interest in all their detibera* 
 tions.

 Hultiies Kk-ctric I'roieition Comiwiiy, who appear to have 
 Kolveit as nearly as pus>ililc the problem liow lient tu aHnnI 
 prolcrijon against (he twin evils lire and (he burglar. It is 
 not euentiii) 10 this article (hat a technical description r)rthe 
 working of (he :i)Stt-m should l>e gi\en. It will Ik: enough 
 to descriU- the amoun( of pro(ecii<>n atlurded, and add tn 
 that the fad that over one hundred lanks and business 
 places in Montreal have availed themwlves u( the proieciiun 
 ofrered by thin conip:iny, and thai the princiiol banks and 
 niercan(ile institutions of ihe leading cities <if the I'niicd 
 States are also protected by them. iTo give an idea of the 
 working of the system, let it l>e supposed that work for the 
 <lay is uvcr in one of the banks with which it is connected. 
 The cashier, Iwfore leaving, ):alls up the olVue of (he tlolme-< 
 Co., giving a private signal, by simply pressing an electric 
 button. The tmrglar alarm is at once set from (he com- 
 iMiny's ohice. The mere act of o|>ening the door of the 
 itank thereaf(er gives an alarm and a force of (tatrolmen are 
 at fince sent to the spot. Should a burglar attempt to enter 
 through a window, (he breaking of the glass cuts ufl"oro|H-n» 
 an elec(ric current and gives the alarm, Shoiild he know 
 (hat (he bank was protected by the company's system, and 
 having traceil the wire, sever the connection, he would by 
 (hat act give (he alarm, Kven should he l>e al>]e to gain acl- 
 mission, the o(>i-n'ng of a safe dtMir, either in the usual way 
 or by iR-ing forced, or a panel or lock cut out, the alarm is 
 sounded. It is therefore practically im)M»ssible to gain 
 admission tu a place prolecled by the company without 
 bringing a force of |>atni|men to the s|xi( in a twinkling, for 
 (he system is so perfect that the place of disturUince is 
 clearly indicated. The comi«iny als*i have an automatic fire 
 alarm, which not only gives warning of a fire, but lieing con- 
 nectcd with every lloor iiiilicates (he exact location. In addi- 
 tion to this the eomi^aiiy als*) have a system of electrical call 
 l»«\es, placed at liilferent [joints of ihe city, which commun- 
 ica(e with Ihe ofiice. Keports are furnished each morning 
 and merchants or oihers are thereby enabled to learn of the 
 fidelity, or otherwise, of (heir watchmen. Another im|M>rt- 
 ant fea(ure of thi^ business is the pro(ection of prixate resi- 
 dences, Persons desirous of leaving the city can safely do so 
 when protecte<l by this company. A force of ixitrolmen, em- 
 ployeil by the company, have regular t>eats in the city and 
 are traversing these every night. Should any part of the 
 systent gel out of order an automatic alarm is rung and in- 
 dicates exactly where the break has (ncurred. The facts 
 so briefly stated show clearly how complete and sure in its 
 operation is the elal>orate system of protection furnisheil by 
 this company. Their handsonte oltices occupy two entire 
 lltKirs at ibj St. James street. The ofiicers ol the com|)any 
 are M. (". Koome, president ; \V, J. Turpin, vice president ; 
 W. Ale*. McKay, secretary -treasurer ; K. K. Hrouwer- 
 Ancher, manager. The president and manager are Ameri- 
 can gendemen. Mr. Turpin is a memlx-r of the well-known 
 stock broking firm of Alton K. Clerk iV Co., and Mr. 
 McKay IR also a Montreal gentleman. The manager, Mr. 
 Hrouwer-.\ncher, is always to be found at the ollice, ready 
 to give the fullest information to entjuirers regarding the 
 system. Though not long in Canada, the energetic mana- 
 ger has made h4>sts of friends by his courtesy and geniality. 
 The company employ over a score i>f men, and as already 
 
 stated aftwl protcrtion \fy their sjr^etn to over one hundred

 the eflficary of the ^>«tcni, aixl c4 the extent lo which it has

 Among the many firms whose headr|uarters are in o*her 
 towns, who have found it protitable and convenient to 
 establish a branch oflfice in Montreal, Messrs. Stone <Sr' 
 Wellinxton of Toronto Ont., take a prominent place. 
 Their office in this city is located in the Temple lloildiog. 
 No, 185 St. James street. The nurseries of (his firm are 
 situated at Fonthill, Welland Co., Ontario, and cover 
 o\er seven hundred acres of ground, tieing the largest ia 
 Canada. This business was establi<hed in 1843 and since 
 the date of its inception has been going steadily 00, grow- 
 ing from year to year nntil at present thev comnsiKl the 
 bulk of the trade in the I>ominion. Kvery departnaent 
 U fully equipped, particularly in ornamental trees nnd 
 shrubs. rhey possess five conservatories, each one 
 hundred feet long, and here the work of pr^inagating is 
 carried on during the winter season by skilled aiKl intel- 
 ligent men under the directi 'n of Mr. Morris, the senior 
 member of the firm and manager of the nurseries. Measrs 
 Stone and Wellington make a specialty of growing new 
 and hardy apples, pears, plums and cherries sniiaSle for 
 the northeast and northern counties of Ontario, (Quebec 
 and the Maritime Provinces, also the North Kastern 
 States. After having tested many kinds of the above 
 named fruit trees, tbey found that the best results accrued 
 from the introduction of over sixty Kuasian varietiea, 
 these being hardier and in every way withstanding the 
 rigors of the northern climate. This firm have branch 
 offices in different parts of the country, notably at 
 Madison, Wis , and Victoria, b. C. bendes Montreal. 
 The office in this city is managed by Mr. J. W. lieall, 
 who from his long practical experience has conducted it 
 in such a manner as to transact perhaps the largest trade 
 in the Dominion. He employs some sixty to seventy- 
 five agents who are always actively engaged in selling 
 throughout all sections of the country. The firm are always 
 ready to employ honest and reliable men to ac*. as agenti.

 \V. S. Walkkr, jeweller, Dimmond Importer, &*c.^ 211 
 St. James street, Nordheimer Ituilding.— The inhabitanti 
 of Montreal, in common with people all over the country, 
 have an ardent liking for diamonds and line jewellery. As 
 is well known there are many citizens who possess a larger 
 amount of capital than others, and can therefore satisfy 
 their desires in this respect. I'ew people are free from a 
 certain love of good jewellery. Of the few really first class 
 establishments of this sort in the city, that of W, S 
 Walker, No. 211 St. James street, is noted for the <juality 
 and variety of the goods to be obtained there. His fine 
 plate glau show window contaiai a splendid assortment of 
 gold and silver jewellery, also a fine display of diamonds, 
 iSn:., in fact it is so inviting that Mr Walker has found it 
 necessary to protect it with iron bars. The interior is even 
 more attractive than the window, for here, in elegant show 
 ctses, on neat shelves and brackets, may be seen, perhaps, 
 the finest array of costly articles in town. The large stock 
 comprises watches from Kngland, Switzerland, Germany, 
 France and United States, and English and French clocks 
 in marble and onyx, the smaller articles of gold and silver 
 jewellery set with precious stones, ruch as diamonds, 
 mbies, turquoises and pearls; platetl ware of the best 
 quality, and in fact the selection is really to Taried that it 
 is useless to attempt to describe their beauties here. Mr. 
 Walker employs skilled assistants, who attend to the re- 
 pairing of watches, clocks, musical boxes and jewellery,

 Cmas- E. (tuao, Temple Hnihlin^- — I>urin>: the last 
 seventeen yi*ar8 there lias)>etqi estahlished in Canada 
 a very iin|K>rlant system of Insurance Surveys. Plane 
 to a very hirj:e scale are prepared of all cities, towns, 
 and villajres, « liich show every hnildin^', of w liatever 
 mirt or kind, and by colors which denote material of 
 construction, and hy various signs indicating; class of 
 roof, [Kisitionsof winJuws, i tarty walls, iron doors, etc. ; 
 tire managers are enabled to estimate the risk 
 of contla^ration in any hlm'k, and to fix their ratt« 
 and liahiliiiea accordingly. The magnitude of the work 
 may lie gatlieretl from the fact that it engages a statl' 
 of 'over tifty assistants ; the Surveys extending 
 from St, .lobn's, Newfoundland, in the oast, to 
 Victoria. Itritisb (.'olunibia, in the west Over four 
 bundreil of these Surveys have l)een made, and 
 are (Mriodicalty revised and extended as the 
 diange^ and grow h of the various centres demand. 
 The cre<lit for the establishment of this syateiu of 
 survey?* I)el<»ng8 lo Mr. Chas. K. Goad, C E., of

 the succe.ss of the system of insnram'e plans which he 
 lia 1 iiiaugurate<l, to give his whole lime to the sufier-

 teiidtnl his oiieratik.i.s U> the I'nited Kingdon., where 
 the work is very much more ditlicnlt, owing to the

 more widely known than any otherinsuranco company 
 on this ctuitinent from the fact, no doubt, of its hemg 
 the pioneer accident company in America and the 
 larg<v>st in the world. It lias insnret) more lives aix) 
 paid more claims than any t>ther company. It liegan 
 business some twenty-eight years ago as an accii)ent 
 insurani>e com[>any *»nly, lait a year or two afterwards 
 adt)ed the life deparlnvnt. Its snccesH as an accident 
 c impany is unparalleled in the world's history of in- 
 surance, inasmuch as it writea now nearly .^lltXl.tMXMXKl 
 of accident insurance yearly. It has attained thestt 
 enormous dimensions by solid, steady progre^ and 
 fair, siiuare dealing. The directors are men of re- 
 nowmwl business ability, with reputations and fortunes 
 at stake, and tlie solidity and trustworthiness of the 
 Comi»any, so universally ctmceded, faithfully evid- 
 omres the cliaracter of the management. As a life 
 comiM.ny the Travelers enjoys the proud distinction 
 of being the largest purely stix^k company on lliis ctm- 
 tinent and is justly eutillei) to )>e reganled as one of 
 the leailing life comi>anies of America; in fact, its 
 plain, delinite, t^sily undersioi>d contract and low rate 
 makea it eminently the life i>olicy for the times, wlicn 
 there is so much humbug and delusion in tlio way 
 of estimates, tlividends, prolits, and assi^ssnlenta| etc., 
 (:eing iiawked alxtut umler the guise of insurance, and 
 the insuring public is getting alive to that fact. They 
 want definite guaranteetl re.snlta for the least outlay 
 instead of trusting to future hick and iin|>os8ib)e ea- 
 timates for >:ig things to come, tlierefore the Travel- 
 ers incre sod ita laisincss in the life department over

 ment it is so far and away ahead of anyDiing in the 
 tielil tliat comment is unnecessary. Its |>o]icy is the 
 simiilest and most lilwral of any issued and covers 
 world-wide travel or residence. The Canadian busi- 
 ness of " The Travelers' has now urown to very con- 
 sideratile pro|>ortions. The<'ompany oixMietl up here a 
 very short time after it was organised and a giMMl 
 volume of busine.ss has always tieen ihiiie. For the 
 last Ut y<«rs, however, since the prtwenl Chief Agent

 lias l>een accomplished with most gratifying r suits. It

 ob'Crveil thai some hoviscs possess great advantages over

 A. C. Lk>mk &* Cu., Manufacturers' Agenti» Iron, Steel, 
 Tin Plate, Wire, Ualvani/ed Iron, etc., 445447 St. Paul 
 street.— The (act thai they are aijeniH for Jessop'a steel at 
 once suggests the other fact that A. C, lieslie •cr* Co. con- 
 duct an important and tViurishing business. The manufac- 
 turers' agent always holds an impuitant place in any com- 
 munity, since he is the medium through which purchasers 
 are »ure of getting an article as cheap, if not cheaper, than 
 they could get the same from a manufacturer. The reason 
 of this 14 so plain that it need not be given here. The busi- 
 ness conducted by A. C. Leslie c^ Co. was established in 
 1867, and has grown to large proportions. Their premises 
 at 445 and 447 St. I'aul and 5 Kloi street comprise five 
 floor* (three in Kloi street) 30x60 feet in dimensions. 
 Among the numerous lines of goods in which they deal are 
 Jessop's steel, Lysaght's galvanized iron, Jos, Kodgers &* 
 Co.'s cutlery, English and Scotch iron, wire and wire rope, 
 anvils, vikes, and other such materials. They represent 
 leading houses in every line, and their goods therefore are 
 of the beift (luality obtainable. Their trade extends all over 
 Cansda, and their reputation with the trade is well estab- 
 lished. It follows that dealers in the highest class of 
 goods should be upright in all their dealings, and this is 
 strictly true of the firm of A. C. Leslie •5" Co. Mr. l.et.Iie, 
 the head c.f the tirm, Is an influential memb r of the Mont- 
 real Itoard ut 1'rade and a gentleman of the highest repute 
 in business circles. 
 
 E. LKMiKttx, Merchant Tailor, 3 St. Lawrence Main 
 street. — Since Mr. I«mieux commenced in 1883 he has 
 built up a rapidly increasing business, which holds a very 
 prominent position in the trade in Montreal. Th's busi- 
 ness has shown every evidence of improvement f'om year 
 to year, until it stands forth at the present time second to 
 none in the city. The premises occupied by this establish- 
 ment are situated it 3 St. I^wrence Main street, and con- 
 sist of a four-storey building, covering an area of 28x45 
 feet. The business carried on consists of that of merchant 
 tailoring and gents' furnishings. The interior is m(>st con- 
 veniently fitted up, and the display of goods in the large 
 show window is one of fine quality and great variety. The 
 store is lighted up by electricity, which greatly improves 
 the general appearance. The tine large mirrors and 
 cabinets lend a brilliant effect. Mr. Lemieux keeps a fine 
 stock of imported and domestic cloths, such as woollens, 
 tweeds, cassimeres, and many others, enabling his custom- 
 er! to have full satisfaction in the choice of material they re- 
 (|uire. He also has a very Urge and varied assortment of 
 gents' furnishings. In both these cissses of goods he has 
 the latest and most popular styles, and tiies at all times to 
 give the utmost satisfaction to his customers. In the tailor- 
 ing portion of the business he is assisted by a cutter of fine 
 ability and long experience. All work entrusted to the 
 care of the proprietor receives his personal supervision. 
 Employment is given to 15 courte'^us assistant* and skilled 
 operatives. These latter occupy the upper fltt, which is 
 fitted with all the necessary appliances for the business of 
 
 tailoring. The trade of this house covers the city and sur- 
 rounding country, throughout which Mr. Lemieux has 
 gained not only a well deserved reputation, hut also a busi- 
 ness which inceaie^ evirry seison. The propriet'>r is a 
 member uf the Chaml»er of Commerce, with which he has 
 been connected for several years, and is much esteemed by 
 a large circle in social and commercial spheres.

 an J 14 St. J hn and 9 «nH 1 1 St. Alexi*! street. Mnnlreal.- 
 A un'ijue and decidedly important enterprise cnnducl^I 
 in Montreal hy Mr. Alfred Chfiiiillou. Mr. C^oiiillou 
 came to this country in 1887, after having ehtahlished 
 laree business connections thrtjughout France, and rrtnci- 
 pally in the Inrge manufacturing centres ^uch a« I'aris, 
 Uouen, I' Havre, Calais, Rouhaix, Sedan, Lyons, St. 
 Fttenne. Klheuf, Le Puy. St. ('laude, Kheims, H 'fdeaux, 
 ('ngnac. Mar<^illes and Klkseur, where he has agencies. 
 The rii»encv of Mr. C. Alfred Ch udlon i* the only concern 
 of its kinH in Canada, dealing exclusively in F'rench gooiU. 
 Its organization is most complete, ar.d hy referring to it 
 y 'u may get import prices for all kinds of goods, including 
 wirtp<t. pptrits, li(]Uors, dry goods, woolens, chemicals, 
 patent medicines, etc., etc. Dealing only on a cotimt** 
 
 *i<m basis, Mr. Chouillou can sell goods it the lowest 
 pouible figure, that is to say at) manufacturers* prices. 
 Tht< explains the immense development of his business 
 since hi' establishment in Montreal. This concern was 
 founded by the prevent proprietor, and aftrr its inception 
 soon rose to the distinguished po-ition in the trade that it 
 has ever since maintained, although it has met with con- 
 siderable hindrance, caused mostly by the timidity of 
 French firms to enter in o export business. For that 
 reason the highest credit must be given to Mr. C Alfred 
 Chouillou for (he ability he has di<played in successfully 
 surmounting these difhculties. The premises occupied are 
 eligibly located, and comprise a handsome tour storey 
 building, thoroughly titted up in every department, with 
 every requirement for the busineas. Ample acommt-da- 
 tion is afi'irded for the storage and display of the s'ock 
 
 carried. As Mr. C. Alfred rhouillou ha* the test of con- 
 necttrms tn the leadirg markets of France, and imports 
 everything direct, he is enabled to offer inducements In his 
 customers throughout <^'anada, difTi ult to duplicate else 
 where. S'x travellers are continually on the road in the 
 difTerent parts of the Dominion, and trders are constantly 
 pouring in from every section of the country, A compe 
 tent (taff is employed to attend to the large and growing 
 trade of the houie. Mr. C. Alfred Chouillou is certainly 
 a leader in these lines in (,'anada, and it a progressive and 
 popular tmsiness m:\n, thoroughly meriting his success in 
 this city. Although but a relatively short time in Canada, 
 he has been admitted a member of the Hoard of Trade, 
 and elected fur two consecutive years to the presidency ol 
 the French Chamber of Commerce of Montreal, an ample 
 proof of the hit{h esteem in which he is held.

 corner St. Denis street.— To the memtfers of the druggists

 to them the majority look for relief from the ills that flesh 
 is heir to. They are co-labourers with the doctors and 
 sui^eoni, and without the pharmacist the efforts of the 
 
 Ehysician would avail little. It will be easily seen that 
 oldiog the iuuM of Uf« and death in their handa they re- 
 
 quire a thorough and carefal training, in order to iputify 
 them for their ardaoas dutie*. Among tho«e who have

 Commkrciai. Union AssCRA.srK Co., Ltd., of London, 
 KngUnd, Evans 6* Mc(ircgor, Managers. —Th* re arc few 
 inhunince companies in existence combining the three 
 branches of business, namely fire, life and marine, that 
 can show luch a splendid recoid at the Commercial I'nion 
 Asiurance Co., Umited, of I/)ndon, England. Although 
 there are many companies doing a similar class of business 
 that have t)een established for a touch longer period, few, 
 if any, can show such material proofs of progress in so 
 comparatively short a time. Established in London in the 
 year 1861, with a subtcribed capital of $12,500,000, of 
 which $1,250,000 was paid up, the life business was 
 cnmmenced in 1863 and the marine business a year later. 
 On the 31st December, 1890, the reserve funds amounted 
 to $1,028,470 i the fire fund to $4,133,460; the life fund 
 
 to $6,443 ''7^1 *^' marine fand tn $1,253 000, making a 
 grand total of $12,858,900, which together with the paid 
 up capital o| $1,250,000 is sufhcient proof f>f the com- 
 pany's progreu and prosperity. The company have 
 agencies in all parts of the world, and sc me idea of the 
 magnitude of the bustneis transacted may l>e gained from 
 their last published statement which shows a net pren'uni 
 income from the several branches of over $6,500,000, the 
 fire branch contributing ab« ut $4,500,000, ir by far the 
 largest share of this enormous income. The Canada 
 branch was established in 1863, and at first transacted 
 only fire and life business, but of Uie years they have 
 branched • ut into marine business as well, and now the 
 three branches are in active o- eration uMer the one man 
 agement. The gn'at bulk of Ihe premiumn, however, is de- 
 rived Irt 1)1 the fire business, which last year gave a gross 
 premium inccme of $379,466, being the second largest fire 
 
 business done in Canada by a llriti^h company. The 
 headi[uarlers of the Canada bran<*h (^hown in Ihe accont 
 panyini{cut) are located at 1731 Notre l>ame str«'et, Moot 
 real, where the butiness is conducted with much eniMgy 
 snd success under the able management of Messrs. Evans 
 c-^ McCiregor, the Canadian attorneys snd managers, wht 
 are both well and favorably known in cttmmercial circles 
 as experienced underwriters and men of keen foresight 
 and business ability. The Canadian business under their 
 managemett has steiolily increased from year to year and 
 will doubtless continue to Rhow greater procrr^s. The 
 company has always Iteen noted for fair and honorable 
 dealing and for its promptitude in the sdjuf>tment and 
 settlement of losses, so that patrons may rely upon being 
 well treated in this respect I' or the security of Canadian 
 policy holders, the company have on deposit with the 
 Dominion (ioveri m*nt the sum of $3^5,313.

 Hi.AiKi.'KK Bros., Warehousemen, 17 Common si reel.— 
 Among the numerous houtcs occupied in the v\arehousing 
 business one of the niitst prominent an<l thimiugldy reliable

 and |-'.uro|>ean houses. This enterprise was started in 187S, 
 and has l>een successfully conducted ever since. The rcpu- 
 i.ition itf this house in every department of their business is 
 certainly a most desirable and enviable one. Their premises 
 on Common street are very large and are well adapted Ut 
 this imi>orlant indvistry. They comprise a spacious and 
 commiMliousIy titled up olVice and five very large ware- 
 houses, which aflord ample sjace for the acconmiodalion of 
 iheir nuinerou.s pairons. No exj^n-se has liecn spared in 
 tilting U|t Ihe building with every recptirement <if the trade 
 in such a way that the most critical and exacting public* can 
 be easily satisfied. The trade of the house ts very large and 
 increases constantly, nine employees being actively engaged 
 on tie premises, .\genls arc conlintially Imsy in Toronto 
 and other places attending to their many patrons in the 
 West. (jikmIs free or in bond are conveniently and 
 securely storeil at moderate charges. Hesides receiving 
 consignments, elfecling sales and ailvancing money 
 they also d'l a custom house brokerage business 
 ami are forwarding agents for such solid and well known 
 houses as thai of Mcs.srs. Thus. Meadow & Co., and 
 I^ngstaff, l-'.hrenlK.'rg and I'ollak, sldjiping agents of 
 Liverpool, ].ondon, Slanchester, lila.sgow, I'aris and Ila\rc. 
 They also liave an agency for delivering parcels and iKiggage 
 
 to any part of the civili/cd worhl, namely for the celebrated 
 
 I'ilh iV Scoli, fort ign exprcsK tif Lonilon, LiveriMNd anil 
 I'aris. As commission inei chants they do business foi 
 Alev, ( aims, Paisley, Scotland, dealer in marmalades, 
 jams and jellies : and Hrownby Ui*->. \ Co., of W'aicrford, 
 t)nl., ce'ebrated for their famous " HorseshiK." " brand of 
 canned gixNl.s. 'Ihe magnitude of this establishment can 
 not Ik.' descriU-d, but it is certainly one of the largeHt in 
 these lines in C.iniula. KlaikliK'k llros. are )>ri>greuive

 Ci. Ross KoHKRTsON A* SuNs, General Insurance 
 Agents and Hrokrrs, 11 Hospital street. Special AK^nti 
 for the North British and Mercantile.— The important 
 functions of the accomplished insurance broker are not 
 generally known to the public, but in a centre of commer- 
 cial activity like Montreal, to busineu men whether in 
 Wrge or small branches of Industry, thejr are absolutely 
 indispenuble. Among the iiuurance brokers prominent 
 
 in the cnmaterclal world, and who do a leading buaitMia 
 in these lines are Mtasrs, (*. Knsi Kolterlson iV Soia, 
 whoaa hcad(|tiarters are centrally and eligibly located al 
 II lloapital street. These gentlemen have been in basl- 
 nesi for twenty sl& years, arul the fact that during this ei- 
 tcmlrd pcriiKl t^'ey have met with marked and eminently 
 well dcMrved »ucc ss, is slanltng evidence of their re 
 liability and sterling worth. It is most gratifying In mention 
 that Messrs. C. Koss Kolwrtsfin ^ Sons are the oldest ind 
 mottt thoroughly established brokers in this city. They dot 
 leading hustncss, nut only in Montreal, but thruughotti 
 Canada, and It continues to increase frcm year to year. 
 In all phases uf insurance whether fire, life, accident or 
 marine, they are thoroughly conversant, and intelligently 
 and cheerfiilly give all information tn their patrons. The 
 individual members uf the firm are Mr. (i. Knss Knbertson, 
 sr., the founder of the business, Mr. (i. Kuis Robertson, 
 Jr., and Mr. W. Stewart Kolwrtson. They are all gentle- 
 men of wide practicsl knowledge, keen foresight and g<Hxl 
 juilgment, who arc esteemed by all who know them, and 
 who ihoroughly merit their prosperity. They Kre mem- 
 tiers ot Ihe Hoard of Trade and it is needless to say retain 
 ih < gruid will and respect of a hos' of friend*.

 Oi lAWA KiVKR NAViiiAiioN Co.» K. W. Shepherd, jr., 
 Manager^ Nos. 87 and 8S Common street. — The attention 
 of strangers visiting the docks of Montreal harlior is at 
 once attracted to the tine river steamers lying at the 
 wharveo, in fact, the boats which ply between river ports 
 and this city are noted for their comfort, speed and fine 
 lines. The development of the port of Montreal is in a 
 large measure due to these boats lielongine to ditVerent 
 lines, whose headquarteri ore located in this city, rromi- 
 nent among the companies that have exercised a powerful 
 influence over the local trade of the port is the Ottawa 
 River Navigation Company, ol which Mr. K W, Shepherd 
 jr., is the able and enterprising manager. Previous to the 
 mcorporation of the Ottawa River Navigation Company 
 in 1S64 the line was comiosed of the following steamers : 
 The (,>ueen N'icloria, I'rince of Wales, Thonix, Atlas, 
 Laiiy Simpson, etc., (operated under the style of the " Ot- 
 tawa S'eamers,") owned by a few gentlemen of whom 
 Mr. R. W. Shepherd (the president of the Ottawa River 
 Navigation Co. ) was the originator of the enterprise and 
 one oi the principal owners. At that time the stream of 
 travel was very cons derable, there were no railways tT 
 draw ott travel from the wate ^ays, and business men, 
 lun^bermen, raftsmen, etc , had no other direct means of 
 communication between Hytown (now Ottawa) and Moat- 
 real than by the Ottawa .steamers. These steamers were 
 always famed for their excellent accommodation and ser- 
 vice* and a breakla&l on the boat, after leaving l.achtne In 
 the morning, was loiked forward to with grea' |iieasure 
 by all the patrons of this favourite route. The succeus 
 
 which has attended the Ottawa River Navigation Co. 
 since its incorporation in 1864, and the demand <;ince rail- 
 way competition for river steamers specially built for 
 tourist and excursion travel, induced the company to build 
 modern steamers to meet this growing t)i5iness, a'ld at 
 present they possess one of the bfct ^nuipped lin-.s that 
 have headquarters in this city. Special atieniiun of the 
 public is directed to the daily trip between Ottawa and 
 Montreal, and the trip to Carillon thr<')Ugh the picturesque 
 scenery of the Lake of Two Mf^untains and dnwn the 
 rapids, made by their boats. In 18S6 the steamer Knpress 
 (Capt. A. Rowie) was built. She is a large iro» steamer 
 of beautiful lines, carrying about 800 passengers, and one 
 of the fastest river stearrers in Canada, The steamer 
 Sovereign (Capt. \Vm. Shepherd) built in 1889, ih^ 
 Utest addition to the fleet, is made of steel. The 
 Sovereign is made on the moHel of the most modern river 
 day boats that ply between New York and Albany on the 
 Hudson. The fittings of this b )at are m keeping with her 
 name, and are worthy of special mention. Accommoda- 
 tion is furnished for seven hundred passengers, the upper 
 saloon and dining room being e<|uipped with all the latest 
 lurniture, the joiner work being hnlshed in natural woods. 
 The engines arc modern and capable of being w()rked up 
 to high power, and when occasion demands tlie Sovereign 
 can be dr'ven at very high speed. The menu Is one that 
 would compare favorably with that of the best bjtels. 
 The meals are coi)ked in an inviting way and served by 
 attentive and (d)liging wait*Ts. In fact, ro expense or 
 trouble is spared to make the trweller as comf.)rtable as 
 possible. It may be mentioned that the company own 
 the Carillon and Crenvtile railway, which they run in con- 
 nection with their daily line. In ao 'ition to the above 
 they also operate three market lines, viz : Montreal to 
 Carillon, Montreal to Little Rideau, and Montreal to 
 P'antaganel. The<;e lines are iirgely patronized by far- 
 mers ard country merchants residirg ahmg the route, who 
 send their produce, etc., to the city, and bring return car- 
 goes of goods of all kinds On cernin days of the week 
 when m:irket is held in Montreal, it is an interesting sight 
 to see these boats unloading at their wharves, the variety 
 of stock and the gathering of all sorts and descriptions of 
 people making up a lively scene. The otVicers of the 
 Ottawa River Navigation Company are at present : presi- 
 dent, R. W. Shepherd ; vice president, L J. (iibb ; secre- 
 tary and manager, R. W. Shepherd, jr., all gentlemen 
 well known in Montreal as men of exceptional abilities 
 and thoroughly versed in all pertaining to the carrying 
 trade.

 that have to a great extent lH*en the means of placing her 
 at the head of Canadian commerce, would not l>e com- 
 plete witliout special notice bt-ing taken of perliaps the 
 moat nourishing business cnterpriae in the city, vi/ : The 
 tirm of J. C. Wilson ^ (.O., paper makers, etc., of (hjo 1 1 
 70a t.'raig street. 'I his firm was eslabhshed in a compa'a- 
 lively small way in the vear 1S70, and at that time 
 tenanted the premises No. iiS4 Crai(! -itrect. The premises 
 then consisted of two small llati. However, owin^ lo the 
 careful and at the same time enterprising management of 
 Mr. Wilson, the volume of trade soon incmseil to Kuch a 
 dcgre*! that the tirm subseipienily occupied three stores of 
 liK tloors each. In 1S80 Messtfi. j C. Wdson tJr* »o. 
 erected a paper mill at l.acluite, <^)ue. This mill is the best 
 equipped of it^ kind in th*^ Dimlninn, and the class of 
 goois iroduccd there causfd the business lo grow so 
 rapidly that they found it advisabli- to double the manu 
 facluring capacity of their mill in the year iSS5. Kvery 
 facility for shipping is ntlonled the Hrm at I.achutf, they 
 having a siding of iheir own, as well as freight sheds 
 conliiiuous thereto. INtwer is furnished by water from the 
 North River, a dam having been built fur this purpose. 
 The mill is li'ted up with all Ihr most approved and 
 modern machinery f-r the manufaciure of the grades of 
 paper used by this lirm Sixty live hands are employed 
 constantly in their mills. Messrs. |. C. Wilson v"- Co, 
 make a specially (<f mat ufactunng nianitia papers suit 
 able fur writing, cnvclopi's tag*, and tor thr nianuficiure 
 of paper bags, as well as wrapi ing pu'po f^s. Theirs is 
 the only mill in Canada making jute manilla paper, nnd 
 ti«ue manilla The piper hag department of 1 heir bii-ii- 
 has lately bren removed to Lachutf, owing \<> lack of 
 space in the Mon teal prenli^es As may Ik; imagined, after 
 getting a mill such as this is into com)dctL' running or^'er, 
 and turning out lines of gnmis that couh! compete favor 
 ably with American nianurictures, llie busine'S of this 
 house increased so rapitllv that it was found ini)iossib!e to 
 remain longer in the old rremiscs, am! in iSSo they 
 removed inttt their magniticent ntw budding rrecied on 
 Oaig street. This is one of ihf lineyl niercaniile .struotntes 
 in Montreal, and merit-^ a fp cial description. This buihl- 
 ing, at Nos. (u)ft to 702 Cra g s'reet, has a fn-ntage on ("raig 
 s reel or6i feet and extends back io I'ortihcation laneinlhe 
 ear, a distance of 1 ^o fret. The st>Ie of architecture is 
 Italian Renaissance, the side walls of the erection (which 
 is eight storie*; high) are built of brick, white the front pre 
 sents an imposing appearance, b'ini; composed of pressed 
 brick and i'crih sandstone with grote&ipies tit'ingly 
 pla ed, atrording a plea.sing ellect. The interior arrange- 
 ments m«y be described in ore wonl as "perfect." The 
 ground floor is us^d for ufhces and sample rooms, the 
 shipping depaitm^nt being in the rear portion of the build- 
 ing, on Fortification lane The otTices art; titled up in the 
 best style, being finished in Canadian pine ^ nd v.irtdshe^, 
 all their fittings being in corresponding taste. The sample 
 rooms contain an exhibit of all the dilTerent lines of 
 goods the hrm manufacture, such as paper bags, tlour 
 lackst envelopes, shipt ing ing", toilet papers, wrapping 
 papers, solid and folding paper boxes, etc., etc., which 
 are all made either on the premises or in their mill at 
 Lachute. The three next flrors ar«* devoted to the storage, 
 v:tc., of the various lines manufac(ure<) on the four upper 
 stories. The manufac'ute of envelopes, fl ur sacky, ship. 
 ping tag^, paper Imxps, toilet paper, tie, as wtli a.'i print 
 ing in all its forms is carried un in this building, a specially 
 bring made of the paper bag trade. Indeed, it is to this 
 branch of the business that the lirm owes in a large 
 measure its success, having been always up to the mark. 
 In the manufacture of pa).er bags, by machinery, they 
 have attained first place in this branch. An important 
 factor in their trade is the prinung of paper bags, mi 
 velopes, shipping tags, ihmr ^acks, wrapping paper, etc. 
 The quantity of work done in ibis line may be imagined, 
 when it is known that no les; than twenty printing pre>5cs 
 arc constantly in operation. The latest and most im 
 proved envrlope machinery is usrd in the manufacture of 
 envelopes, the output of one machine alone In-ing 60,000 
 per day, and recently the most approved machinery for the

 C'oMrAtiMK (JKNKR/vtK IH^ Ka/aks, corncr St 
 Catherine and St. I^awrence Main streets. — Some short 
 time ago a number of Parisian gentlemen firmed them- 
 selves into a company for the purpose of carrying on in 
 this city a large store, or entrepot, on the plan cf such 
 places a* the Hon Marche, of Paris. Macy's, of New York, 
 01 Jordan, Marsh i.-^ Co's,, of Itoston. The name of the cor- 
 poration is the Compagnie (ienerale des Ha^ars, and 
 their place of business is on the corner of St. Ca'henne 
 and St. I^wrence Main streets. The building, which is 
 four stories high, is of stone, and of a verv attractive style 
 of nrchilecture, ard extends from St, Lawrence street to 
 St. C^afi. liorrommte street in the rear. The handsome 
 ]dale glass windows are the point of admiration to all who 
 pass on either street, each one t)eing decorated with sam 
 pies of the va-ious lines that can he obtained in the differ- 
 ent departments On entering, the visitor wo<ild find him- 
 self in a spacious and well lighted apartment, in which 
 can be purchased family g^ods, toilet articles, church orna- 
 ments, dry gi>04ls, books, etc , which are disposed in great 
 profusion on thr sheles and in the showcases. These, 
 together with the elegant wooden trimmings, w^ich are of 
 cheirv. go tr» make up an effect particularly pleasing to 
 the eye. The staple and fancy drv goods are of the latest 
 pattern* and colours, many lines bring imported directly 
 from Paris as well as from (iermany and England. The 
 assortment of jewellery, fancy clocks, cigar cases and 
 other knick knacks, is prcd>alily the most comidete in the 
 city, being selected with the greatest care hy competent 
 buyers in the leading markets itf the world. If there is 
 any one line that the managers of the Compagnie (J-nerale 
 des Ma/ais may t>e said to make a specialty of, it is in 
 that of gentlemen's furnishings, the stock of shirts, ties* 
 ccdlars, cufYs, hosiery, 8mallware.<t, etc., being very select 
 and composed of the finest goods, rivalling any collection 
 of similar articles in town. On ascending, the second 
 floor is found lo be as well fitted and as spacious as the 
 first, the stock lieing of such a character, and arranged so 
 neatly, that it is perhaps a trifle more attractive- How- 
 ever, the as^oitment of glass and c^inaware, silver and 
 tinware, together with house furnishings of every descrip- 
 tion is almost t>ewildering. Here may l>e purchased such 
 articles as lamps of all kinds, from the cheapest to the 
 most elaborate bronze table or piano lamp, vase*, bisque 
 figures, bathing vats, boots and shoes, millinery, child- 
 ren's furnishings ami many other things loo numerous to 
 mention. The third and fourth floors are devoted to the 
 
 stock of toys, novelties, etc., which are here in indescrib- 
 able variHy, Some idea of the business and character of 
 the Compagnie Generale des Bazari may be gained from 
 the foregoing, albeit somewhat meagre, description, but 
 anyone desiring to spend a profitable and enjoyable hour, 
 cannot do better than go and see this palatial store for 
 themseWei.

 Among the many companies transucttrg a business of this

 those who wish to encourage • enterprise. He- 
 lideF, it has efTecte<l lately » -lion of 50 per

 lieen establishetl in this city, one that deserves special men- 
 tion is tha' .if Mr. A. K-msseau, at llochelaj;a. These 
 works are popidarly known as ihe *' Imvierial Hiidgeand 
 Iron W'-i'ts,'' where all kintls of .luiciitr.il iioiis will lie 
 ctmslriicteu, and are s.tuaied at 42 Seaver .treet. Mr. 
 Rousseau wa.s formerly a } .utiur in the bridj^e building lirm 
 of Rousseau iV Mather, which was subse<pienlly chan^;ed 
 inlu the Canadian liridne and Iron Company. Tlie works 
 (tf this concern were destroyed by fire last Heceniber, and 
 ni>eratiuns were net\ssarily disconiinnctl. Afttr the fire 
 Mr. Rousseau immt liately made puji.-irations for the cim- 
 linuancc of the bu^ine>-, and secuud a suitable .site for the 
 erection of new buildings. In fact, the snow was scarcely 
 niT the ground when operation-^ were lommenced, the prem- 
 ises being opened shortly alterwarls. The factory is a 
 woodin biiililing covered with iron, 05 \ 91 feet, ami is 
 situated coiivenientiy neui the Canadian racirK Railway 
 track. The machiiu ly is of the Ik>i atnl \> driven by a large 
 engine fr.'in the vhop of Messrs. I.auiie Mros. of this city, 
 while sime of ihe liea<i,.r 1....K, sii<h as ihe lathe, dlill and

 shop uniler Mr. Rousseau's personal supervision, and he 
 Iwing a practical engineer and bridge luiilder, ihey are in 
 every way suited In the purpose* foi which lh<y are usid. 
 The cotnpatiies wiili which Mr. Rousseau h.is been conneefe I, 
 either ns niaipger or pariner, have built sMuie very fine inui 
 bridgei, and fair samples i.f the work are lo be ^een at ' H

 Till. IImi'Ikk Cl.oiiilKKs, fJeo, S. Rooney, Manager 
 Jjdi ,Si. Catherine street. (See illustration on back 
 of cover of litis Ixjok.) Hjie of the most attractive of 
 Montreal clothing stores is thai of the Kmpire Clothiers, 
 2261 .St. Caihcriiie street. The business was eitahlished 
 only two years ago. but the merits of the gcmds and the energy 
 of the manager, Mr. < leo. S. R»iney, have already made it 
 a house of wide p-.pularity with an ever increasing patron- 
 age. The store is a hanttsonie one, 125 \ 20 feel in dimen 
 sions, well lighted, has a lofiy ceiling, and the arrangeinenl 
 of goods IS such that visitors are able with !he least |M)ssibte 
 incoiivenieneL- lo mo\e about and insiiecl them all. l>n<y 
 ready made clothing is carried in stock, and it is fri>m the 
 well known esiablishtnent of the Sanford Mamifncturing 
 Co., of Ilainilloii, Hnl., whose ready made cloihing in 
 jMiinl of ^lyte, finish and dvirability, challenges the best cus 
 loin made work in a comparison. The work of thi.s com- 
 pany is found in ihe leading clothing houses Ihroughoul 
 Canada. When the Umpire Clothiers first liegan busines.s 
 in Montreal, there was some degree of doubt on the part af 
 ihe public regar<ling ihe quality of material and workman- 
 ship in such ail establishment. Thai doubt has l>ecn set at 
 rest by the pfttof nf the uniform excellence of the st'K-k car- 
 ried by this reliable house. The latest novelties in child- 
 ren'--, youths' and men's suits and «ivercoats arc always in 
 ^litck. There is only one price at this store. The go<«ls 
 art warranted In be as represented, and the price is marked 
 in plain figures. Clothing is made up in the latest Knglish 
 and .American styhs and gi\es as good satisfaction to the 
 wearer as custom made work. Canadian, .American, Kng 
 
 lish, Irish, Scotch and French g Is are found on the tables, 
 
 so thai every lasie can be suiie<i. The children's (hport- 
 ineni is neatly cari'etetl, and the most courteous attenti'Hi i> 
 given to all comers. The prices in the establishment are 
 nnieh hss than those »»( custom estabtishmenls, while ecpial 
 satisfaction is assured. Hence the gnivvth and popularity of 
 the house. Mr. * ieo. S. RiK)ney, the manager, who lives 
 over the siore and is therefore always on hand, is a gentle- 
 mnn of twenty years experience in the clothing business, 
 having first been engaged in it in the north of I'.ngland. To 
 a thorough knowledge of the business he adds a courteous 
 and kindly dis|M>sition, and a push and enterprise that have 
 placed his house in the front rank of Monlreal clothing 
 houses. .\n etticient stafV of clerks is kept constantly em- 
 ployed to attend to the wants of customers. The business is 
 retail only and is steadi'y growing in volume. " Kver in 
 advance" is the inoi'o of the house.

 it was not unlit the cliannt's -iVected l»y the amended charter

 and the income of some more leceni henefaciions. Its stalT 
 has increased from the original eight instructing offieers to 
 lifly-seven, ami two or three others will l»e added in the

 it the gifts of other lilieral men. it has sustained the Mctiill 
 I'luversity, and carrieil it on to its present |>oinl of usefulness

 Hundreds of professional men in all parts nf Canada hear 
 testimony to its value ; and the city derivt-s from it much of 
 its higher character as a centre of learning and ]iractical 
 science. Indirectly, it has lienetiiled the cause of common 
 and grammar sch'wl eilucation, ihrnugh the action of the 
 Koyal Institution, through the services nf students and 
 graduates as teachers, and through the Mc(iill \ormal 
 School, which, ihnugh sup|Htiteii by (loveinineni, wo Id

 mighty river. As alieady staled, ihi<t was granleil in iXii, 
 and under it were carried on ihe early operations of the 
 univirtiily emltnrrashed by {w-cuniary dilhruhy, owing to 
 Ihe failure of the ( >ovi rnment to give the promised i>ublic 
 aid, and by the siruciure of the charier ilsclf, whicn was 
 cuinbmuH and unwiehly, and unsuitcd to a tniall college in 
 the circumsiances of thif« country, The retull was ihal, 
 after nearly thirty years of struggle, the university, with ihe 
 exception of its medical faculty, was almost extinct, and that 
 it was without sullicienl income even to suilain the sianty 
 Htalf which it then )H>ssissed m the lacully of .\rtL Its cji 
 isteme at this time seems tn have U-en largely due lo the 
 jR-rsisiency with which the laie Vicel'rincijial, Ven. Arch- 
 ileacon l.eaih, clung to its intereMs. Il »a« then thai 
 several gentlemen, cili/ens of .Mnnireal, a^ssumetl t.ie resfxin- 
 sihility of ilH renovation, and secured an amended charter 
 under which its later work has l<en carried on. t >f ttie

 Uobeiis'in and Ihmkin deserve es|>ei iai mention a» the re- 
 !<tr>rers of the university. 1 >ne of their earlie^it elTofts was to 
 raise an adeipiate endowment. I'heir hr^i allempl in 1X50 
 produced the foumlaiion by Mr. William MuIkoh and his 
 brr>ihers, John and Thomas, of ihe MoIsi»n chair of Knglish 
 laleraiure. the first endnwed chair, which has |.een followed 
 by so man) others, lo this was addeil a subcription by 
 lady cili/ens to the anmuni '.f $j(i,ooo. Additionr I »ub 
 scri|>tions were raised in 1K71 and 1X81 and i88i, and in 
 1SX7 SX, while large gifts and Ivncfictinns for endownienti 
 of cliairs, niedat". and scholarships, fnr the educaiinn of 
 wnmen and fnr the profe^sinnal faculties have lestihed 
 from lime to lime ihe continued kindness ami liberality 
 of the fiiends of higher eilucalion in Mtmireak Turning 
 now to the cr>nstiiuti(m as it exists under the royal 
 charier, the first fact which meets us is that the supreme 
 authority in the university remains in the hands of the 
 Crown, and is exercised by His Kscellency the tiovernor- 
 (ieneral as \ isitor. This gives an irn|>erialchaiacter,and re- 
 moves the university at once Irom any merely local or |>arty 
 influence, while it secures the patronage of the head of lur 
 ixditicnl syslem. Though the new ch.arter 'lates from 1X52, 
 the lirst \ isitor, in point of fact, was Sir Kdmund Head» a 
 graduate of < txford and a lellow and Tutor of Mereton 
 College, in thai university. Sir Ldmund was a man of nuich 
 literary and >cienti(ic culture, and an admirable writer ; ami 
 wouhl have allaincil a very high literary reputation had he 
 not gone into public life. Curiously enough, his lirst step in 
 this direction wa.s under the (iiitron;ige of the Marifuis of 
 I.aiisdowne, the grandfather <*i our laie dovcrnorC Ieneral, 
 and who was eipially eminent as a sialesman and a patron 
 of men of letters. On his elevation tn the government of 
 Canada he was wailed on by a deputation of the tiovernors 
 of McCfi'I who solicited his patronage and aivsiMance in their 
 then infant enie-prise. He entered heartily into their plans, 
 gave valuable advice, m<»re especially in reference to the 
 choice of a Principal and evinced a lively interest in the 
 welfare of the university, which he continuiil to maintain 
 during his term c)f ottice. His successors have I<een e«|ually 
 friendly, and have all shown a warm interest in the welfare 
 of Met lilt, and have promoted it by every means in their 
 (Mtwer, It is [Kjpularly sup[Kised that the ( invernort ieneral 
 has no iH.wer in eiiucational maltirs, but this is i-carcely 
 cotrect. He has nni nnly a sulisiantial veto in matters of 
 api>onUments and of new statutes, but a |>usitive jiower in 
 aiding in many im|>orianl ways, anil Mdiill owes much to 
 the countenance of its successive \'isiior> since the othce was 
 estaMisheil under the charter of 1852. < )ne fact is settleil 
 by lliese provisions of the charter, namely, that for Mctiill 
 there cm be no rpiestion t>f change '.f allegiance, for what- 
 ever political changes may <x:cur, it has nailed its colours to 
 the masi ; the Crown must cimlinue to l>e, the crest of its 
 arms, and the only appropriate flag to float over that emblem 
 is the flag of the Hrilish Kmnire. Next to the Visitor the 
 highest governing Wn\y of the university is the Board of 
 Koy;\l Institution, tiovernors of Mctiill i'ollege, whose 
 president is ex-otticio the Chancellor. The Hoard of Koyal 
 Insiitu'ion at one time had charge of all sch<w>ls in this 
 province, but its function is now limited to the administration 
 of Met iir Cidlege and of such other colleges as may l)e con- 
 nected with it: and all endowments given to it for educational 
 purposes are held by it as royal endowments. The vacancies 
 in the Hoard are tilled by nomination of the remaining 
 members, with aiipmval of the \ isitor, who h.is power to 
 apj»oinl without any nomination if the numlier of meml'crs 
 falls below ten. Hui the nitminations are made under 
 certain restricliims The gentlemen apixjinleil must Ik: 
 residents «>f Montreal at the time of appointment. They 
 must lie laymen, not deriving any enmlumenl either directly 
 or iniiirectly frnm the college. They must Iw rroiestanls, 
 and .xs far as possible represent all the rrolestant denomina- 
 tions. These<|ualitications probablygive the highest security 
 |M.»ssible in a community Kke this for an ellicient non-

 atroDgent indication that the ofScera of the miiipany 
 look u|nm the Canadian |>art of this continent aa a 
 very desirable fleld for prolllalile buninoaa. Situated

 Bank of Montual, 113 St Jumh itrect— Thii im- 
 poftaat iaMitalioB wu oUblUhcd on 3rd Ncrember, 1817, 
 the chaitcf being obtained in the jrear 1811, ud fiom the 
 fint il hu ilcadil; riien to iti preieni position ti tbe lead- 
 ing finanml cocpontion in Canada. The head office of 
 the Banh oC Moatfeal ii rt 113 St Jamea ttreet, and con- 
 •iiU of a handKHBC grey itone itnictaie, which rraa erected 
 ia 1S47. It orerloolu the I'lace d'Armei and (acei Notre 
 Dame Cathedral. From time to time branches hare been 
 opened in miou paits of the country, the latest being the 
 •• West End' branch in this city, which is situated on the 
 comer of St Catherine and Mansfield streets, and is a fine 
 striKtare, built of red sandstone. In addition there are 
 other b'aachea ia London, New York and Chicago, besidei 
 which the bank have iheir correspondents in all parts of the 
 world. Tbr aasouat of busineu annually transacted is 
 steadily on the increase, and in Montreal alone scTenty-fire 
 clerks are employed. From the statement of the Bank of 
 Moolrial, which was iskued, showing the result for the year 
 ending jolh April, 1891, the paid up capital stock is seen 
 to amount to $ia,ooo,ooo, while there is a reserve fund of 
 Jo.cooooo. The whole of the assets for the twelve 
 months ending April 30th of the present fear are $47,653,. 
 99072 The i^aid up capital of the bank in 1817 was 
 $jjocoo, which in 1819 was increased to $650,000, $loo,- 
 000 being added in the following year. I'en years later 
 it reached $850,000; in 184I, $3,000,000; in i860, $6,000,- 
 000; and in 1873 $11,000,000, at which il now stands. At 
 the end of th« fint lull year of the bank's operations a 
 dividend of 8 per cent per annum was paid, since which 
 time the yearly dividends have ranged from 6 to 16 per 
 cent, with the esception of the terms of 1837 and 1838. 
 The prosperity which has so long held to the Hank ol 
 Montreal and ita long continued immunity from anything 
 like a threat of diaatter must be mainly attributed to the 
 abibty and prndencc with which the alliurs have been man- 
 afcd. The reierve ianil or profits, like the capital, had a 
 saall bcginaing. In 1819 a balance of $4,168 remained 
 oa hand and foraied the nucleus of what to day reaches 
 $6,000,000. In the yean 1826, 1830 and 1840 this fund 
 showed a dTreasr as compared with previona years, but ia 
 
 1870 stood at $3,000,000. Tbe Board of Dirrcton now

 iPage i>^8.) nt a work devoted to a review nf the in* 
 uslries, commerce and natural resources of M<mt- 
 real, it is fitting that an extended notice should l>e given of 
 the important enterprise carried on by Messrs. M. l^mg 
 <&• Sons, of this city, who are widely and favourably 
 known throughout Canada as leading pork packers and 
 lard refiners. No comment is necessary regarding the re- 
 liability of this house, when once it is known that it has 
 been in active, successful operation since away back in 
 1853, and that during the long intervening periml the 
 most exacting public has t>ecn satisfied in every particular, 
 while unbounded prosficrity has alwayii been a promment 
 characteristic uf this establishment. These results are of 
 course due to the high character of the goods sold, and of 
 the work done, coupled with the constant prudent ind 
 superior management of the proprietors. Their premises 
 are commodious and suitable, and comprise large and con- 
 venient offices which are situated on St, Catherine i-feet 
 east, and have been htely built specially fur their business, 
 the building affording space fur more than duuhle their 
 capacity in the old ■ ne on duy street, reaching 
 back and connecting with a spacious packing; 
 house located at 95 to 115 I'arthenais sirect. the 
 latter a handsome building c>veting the very large 
 area of 43,000 square feet, l>eing titled up from hasement 
 to attic with all the latest improved appliances and must 
 modern machinery, and in fact with everything needful or 
 useful in the prosecution of this immense busmess The 
 goods from this house have attaineil a desirahle and enviable 
 reputation for their excellence and purity, and the line uf 
 work done is of great variety, embracing the cuiing of the 
 Anchor Brand (this being their trade mark) hams, bacon, 
 lard and pork ol various descriptions ; pork packing being 
 very extensively done, while a specialty is made of refining 
 ^ard. A Urge and continually growing trade is done, and 
 he fact that 75 employees are required constantly on the 
 premises, while three travellers are on the road in different 
 parts of Canada, also three city travellers, 
 will give some idea of the magnitude and ex- 
 tent ol the concern. An enormous numl»er uf hogi are 
 disposed of and used in diOerent ways throughout ttie year, 
 so that it is needless to say that Messrs. I.aing ^-^ Sons do 
 a leading trade in these lines, and that they hold an en 
 viable position in the front rank ot the pork dealers of (he 
 Dominion. In May, 189I (the present year), the firm sus- 
 tained a grest loss in the death of Mr. M. Kaing, the senior 
 member. The husines*, however, is continued under the 
 old consiitutionsl title, by his three snn<, who are all pos- 
 suited in a remarkable degree of those qualities indispf ns 
 able to succeu. They are pop'dar in businr^s and social 
 circles, and admirably ard creditddy maintain the pres- 
 tige and h'gh standing of the house in thf commeicial 
 worM of Montreal and Canada.

 MONTREAL'S POSTMASTER. 
 
 Mr. A. DansercAu, FoMmaster of Montreal, U a well* 
 known and popular citizen, and wai for many yetn a 
 prominent joumaliit. born at Contrecour, Vercheref Co., 
 P.Q , in 1844, Mr. Danseieau received hit edocation at the 
 College of L'Assomplion, where be was a classmate of the 
 Hon. Wilfrid Laurier. He was for three years a law 
 student in the ofltce of Mr. Girooard, M.P. for Jacques 
 Cartier. KecciTing the d^rre of B.C.L. from McGill 
 University in 1865, he was also admitted to the bar. He 
 did not, however, enter upon the practice of *aw. With a 
 dec'dcd leaning toward journalism and decided talent in 
 that line he entered the office of La Minerve^ and in 1870 
 became joint proprietor of that paper. Retiring in 1880, 
 he was, for a few months, clerk of the peace, but resigned. 
 On Kebiuary 1st of the present rear he was appointed post- 
 master of Montreal. Mr. Danterean has proved himself 
 both a courteous and capable head of this department of 
 the public lervicr. The service has been greatly improved 
 under his administration and he loses no oppoitunity to in- 
 crease i's efficiency. His relations *ith the public have 
 been marked by an unvarying courtesy and msnilest desire 
 to meet all reasonable demands. Among those over whom 
 he has supervision Mr. DAnsereau has won a lasting popu- 
 larity by his geniality and kii dness under all circumstances. 
 The duties of the cflice are many and oneroas, and the 
 retponsibility great, but Mr. Danserrau has proved hit 
 ability to successfilly meet all demands upon hU time, his 
 energy and patience,— the latter gift being one especially 
 called for in the character of any public official.

 G. A. HoLLAMD &* SOH, Wholesale and Retail Dealers 
 ia ud Maaabctum of Paoer Haagiogs, Baadi, Baskets 
 aad Faaey Goods, 1758 aad 1760 Notre Daase street.— 
 The abota Is oa« of tka oldest firms ia the dty, having 
 bMB tMabUAMl slaea 1844* When first sUrted it was 
 with bat a siagit liaa of fancy goods, the busineu having 
 siaet that data, owing to good aunageBent, developed to 
 sach an aatant that at piaseat Messrs. Ilollaad have some 
 twelve dtpai t ssea ts . These occnpy no less than five 
 stoesi, three of wMch are sitaalad at 1758 aad 1760 Notre 
 Deaa street and 19 St. Joha street, covering sn area of 
 
 1,000 feet and being four stories h'gh. Two others arc 
 located at Nos. 2385 and 3387 SL Catherine street, sad 
 occupy some 1,650 square feet of space. One of the most 
 important dcpanments is that for wall paper, which is im- 
 ported from the United Spates, England and France, taking 
 up the whole northeastern portion uf the store- The first 
 floor is devoted to the basket department where full lines 
 of foreign and domestic goods are kept. The manufactur- 
 ing of baskets of all kinds, such as travelling hampers, 
 clothes baskets, etc., is also carried on in this department, 
 orders being promptly attended to. Probably the most 
 nnvrl feature of the establishment is the biad department. 
 This trade has been developed by them to a surprising ei* 
 tent, until at present th^y sell these articles to Indians for 
 beadwork, in all poiiions of the country from the Atlantic 
 to the Pacific. Their travellers (Indians) have sometimes 
 ai much %% $3 000 worth of beadwnrk with them at a 
 time, cnvrring not only this country but South America, 
 parts of Alrica, the Northern States and portions of 
 Europe. They have by the exercise uf considerable in. 
 gcnaity built up an immense trade in lacrosse sticks, and 
 they are recognized as being the leaders in this line in 
 Canada. Their stock is one of iht largest in the Dominion, 
 consisting of from two to ti ree hundred dozen sticks. 
 They alto carry a choice assortment of snowshoes, 
 moccasins, etc., all of which, being procured direcly 
 from the Indians who mtke them, can be guaranteed to be 
 of the first quality. In addition to the above the »tock of 
 toys, etc., is perhaps uncqaalleJ in the citv, they msking a 
 specialty of mec lanical toys, ranging as high as $40 00. 
 The extent of this assortment may be imagined when it is 
 said that twenty employees are engaged looking alter it. 
 The firm also carry staple lines of brushes, coml», parses, 
 fimcy goods, small wares, etc., maay of which are imported 
 from the leadii^ centres of the world. Besides the above 
 mentioned they also keep on hand a complete selection of 
 gaaM*, books, pussies, plash goods, etc., of the bnt pro- 
 corable from the principal aurkets both at home aad 
 abroad. The masical department, aader the esanageaient 
 of Mr. G. H. Holland, is one of the principal attractions, 
 every description of instrument being kept on sale here, 
 from the smallest aad cheapest to that of the most expen- 
 sive and elaborate kind. Mr. Holland has had an exten- 
 
 sive experience, is a skilled musician, and is thorough 
 competent to assist his customers in the selection of mui 
 cal iostrumenis of any make. Since the decease ol M 
 U. A. Holland, Mr. C. C. Holland has had entire contr- 
 of the businevs, being auisted by Messrs. G. H. and F. V 
 Hollsnd, who are we!* 'tniwn in commercial and soci 
 c rcles in Montreal, always taking a lively inerest in - 
 that goes on for the benefit of the city and its commerce.
