If-* '^ k PARKDALE. I l^:f '-^ , i'^i 'TpHE Village of Parkdale is situated on the eastern side of •*• Humber Bay, on the N. \V. shore of Lake Ontario, in the Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canar^a. It is distant about three miles from St. Lawrence Hall in the City of Toronto, and is bounded north, by Brockton ; south, by Humber Bay ; east, by Toronto ; and west, by the Township of York. The site is higher than that of the major portion of Toronto, and is exceedingly picturesque, being surrounded by a landscape that possesses all the varying attractions afforded by the beautiful Ontario, and the diversified scenery of an undulatmg expanse of fertile country, wooded, watered, cultivated, and adorned with attractive homes. THE BEGINNING. The Toronto House Building Association becoming impressed )y the advantages which the present site of Parkdale afforded as H place of residence, purchased, about six years ago, first twenty, |ind afterwards thirty, acres of land in this locality. They then trocured the building of a sidewalk from the western limits of Toronto across the territory thus acquired, and proceeded to set forth the merits of their new enterprise. The result was the Ibunding of a settlement, and in course of time several elegant ^sidences were erected by the purchasers of lots. Streets were lid out, and a community began to form. ; THE INCORPORATION. In a few years this community increased greatly in numbers, and 1,305 66 $20,306 44 $8,650 41 ■ 1,114 08 i,oS3 46 • 1,723 72 443 05 ■ 1,206 53 5-5 K 67 $:3o,3o6 44 The streets are regular, arc kept in good repair, and .uc orna- lented with young trees. The law to prevent cattle and hogs from running at large, is very stringent, and, as a consequence, the trees do not require boxes around them. Somewhat of a saving is thereby effected, as the boxes generally cost more than the trees. Every means of improvement that enlightened judgment can su285 5j400 $505,708 $819,010 This is an increase of $313,302 over last year. It will be re- membered that the figures give merely the assessed value and not the real value, which is always much greater than the former. POPULATION. In 1879 the population was 785 ; by the last census it was 1 183, but at present it may be safely estimated in round numbers at 1800, as it is continually increasing by the advent of new residents. These accessions to the community come from the industrial and prosperous classes, and are almost entirely people who select Parkdale as their home on account of its many inviting advan- tages of location either for residence or business. The inhabi- tants are intelligent and progressive in a high degree ; the cultured elem.ents of society being liberally represented. Basing the esti- mate upon a consideration of the conditions of the growth of new places, it is within the limits of reasonable anticipation to predict that the population will reach 7,000 within five years. CLIMATE. The mean temperature of the year in Toronto, is 44' 4 ; Win- ter 26° 4 ; Summer 63° 8. These figures will serve very well for Parkdale, except that the heat of summer is tempered by the breezes from Lake Ontario which dispense a refreshing coolness that is lacking in the close and sultry city. It is well known that places situated near large bodies of water have a higher tempera- PARKDAKE. an retire when busi- 1 Parkdale offers to 1 every day, and new The prosperity of n to the number of can be more accu- orking and middle- ople, neat and com- hrift and prosperity, rkdale. ssessed value of real 1880. 503,423 3.285 1881. $813,610 5,400 505,708 $819,010 ear.

This modifying circumstance has also its effect upon the winter in Parkdale. The place is not subject to malarial influences and is uncom- monly healthy. THE WATER WORKS. These important works will be located at the western limit of the village on the Lake shore road. They will comprise an engine house, pumping house, and com- pression chamber. The engines will be of forty-five horse power, and will be built in Toronto, from designs brought from Port Huron, Mich. The Holly system will be used, and the water pumped from a large crib in the Lake, which will also serve as a filtering basin, the water passing through ten feet of stone and gravel before reaching the pumps. The conduit pipe will have flexible joints, there will be close upon five miles of water mains, and thirty-two double nozzle hydrants. The maximum capacity of the works will be 2,000,000 gallons per day, and they will have the power to throw six streams at a time. J The water works will be completed by the end of the year, and ' will be under the supervision of Mr. John Patrick, who has been appointed chief engineer and possesses the requisite ability to fill his important po.sition in an efficient manner. ELECTRIC LIGHT. During the coming year the electric light will be introduced into Parkdale for the purposes of public and private illumination. The motive power, which is the most expensive part of the ar- rangement, can be secured through the liberal co-operation of Mr. Essery, of the firm of Esse'-y & Reid, whose Planing Mill is in the immediate vicinity of the village and who will supply the requisite steam power free. If so desired a vote of the people will be taken in regard to the purchase of the remaining necessary ma- terial. ^ The Council have received the following estimate of material, etc. : I Wrought Iron Tower, 200 ft. high - I No. 5 machine 4 Double 4,000 candle power lamps Freight, wire, etc ------ - the cost of - $2,225 1,200 - 320 200 Total $3,945 PARKDALE. To this must be added 33% duty. The carbons cost $6.25 per 100 or one cent per hour for each lamp. A power equal to that of six horses would be required to operate the above. POLICE. Two policemen, one for day and one for night service, are found sufficient for the preservation of good order. FIRE DEPARTMENT. The Fire Hall occupies a portion of the Public Hall building. The Fire Brigade consists of thirty-four volunteer firemen. The engine and hose-reel are of first-class manufacture, and the Bri- gade is thoroughly equipped for efficient service. The officers are as follows : — T. Coles, Chief ; A. Craig, Captain ; T. Booth, ist Lieut. ; E. Bar well, 2nd Lieut. ; C. Toplis, ist Branchman ; J. Crawford, 2nd Branchman; T. Gander, ist Engineer; G. Pierce, 2nd Engineer- U. A. Walker, Treas. ; J. Beaumont, Secretary. Last year the Brigade attended six fires, two of which were outside of the village. On the ist of August last they had a grand social turn-out and a gala day generally. RAILWAYS. The following five lines of railway are in the immediate vicinity of Parkdale : — Grand Trunk, Great Western, Northern, Toronto, Grey & Bruce, and Credit Valley. Manufacturers would find the contiguity of these railroads, and also of Lake Ontario, of great benefit, as they could ship their products either by rail or water. Manufacturers located on the west side of Toronto are beginning to realize the advantages which Parkdale affords in this particular, and the idea of erecting a large union station here is already entertained. PUBLIC HALL. This is a substantial brick edifice, built in an attractive style of architecture. The dimensions are 70 x 35 feet, and three stories hi^^h. One portion of the ground floor is occupied by the Fire Department. The remaining portion contains tiie Council Chamber, Committee Rooms, the Lock-up, the Safety Vault for public documents, &c., and G. G. Pursey's boot and shoe manu- factory. The Council Chamber is fitted up with every convenience suitable to the purposes for which it is used, and is elegantly but not extra v- s«t ADVERTISKMENT6. R. S.

The Reeve's chair is very handsome, and on it are carved the village coat of arms with the motto " Progress and Economy," which is in keeping with the tenor of the mimicinrJ management. There is an appropriate desk for the clerk and a table for reporters. From the ceiling de- pends a graceful chandelier, and the whole chamber has been ar- ranged with a regard for good taste and utility. A spacious con* ert hall occupies the greater part of the second floor. The remainder is divided into rooms, in one of which the meetings of the New Church are at present held. It is expected that the other rooms on this floor will be devoted to the uses of the Mechanics' Institute. On the third floor is the beautifully furnished hall of Alpha Lodge of Freemasons, No. 384, G.R.C. This is a " Blue " lodge, and the azure hue of the exquisite embellishments produces a delightful effect. On this floor is also a very neatly arranged hall,, in which are held the meetings of the Odd Fellows, the Good Templars, the Royal Templars, and the Sons of England. The Public Hall is admirably adapted for the purposes it sub- serves ; it is well ventilated, and the attentive supervision of Mr. Cornelius Davis, the caretaker, keeps it in continual good order.

The school is graded and comprises four divisions. The principal is J. A. Wismer, Esq., who is assisted by Miss Warwick, Miss Somerville and Miss Dallas. Vhe average attendance for the first half of the present year was about i8o. At the last examination 42 certificates of honour were given, those receiving them having been neither absent nor late during the term. These certificates are very handsome and are highly prized by the recipients. Particular attention is paid to English composition, letter writ- ing and business forms. Free-hand blackboard drawing, map-draw- ing in colours, book-keeping, commercial arithmetic and vocal music are taught. The ordinary programme of common school studies is thus varied to advantage.

Booth was formerly foreman inGoderich of the largest flour mill in Canada. He was eighteen years of age when he commenced to work in the mill, and when twenty-one he was ap- pointed foreman from among 125 hands working in the same establishment. This position he held until recently, when he en- tered into a co-partnership with his brother in Parkdale. Mr. T. W. Booth has been ten years in the grocery business. During a portion of that time he was in business for himself in Toronto. On the 27th May, 1880, he had the misfortune to be burned out in Parkdale, and as he was not insured the calamity was enough to utterly discourage most young men. Mr. Booth, however, found that his integrity and sound business qualities had gained him friends. He was encouraged to start again, and upon his brother entering into partnership with him the business received a decided impetus. The Booth Bros, are prominent examples of what Canadian young men are capable of accomplishing who possess good-sense, moral principles, and undaunted perseverance. W. S. ROBINSON is proprietor of the Parkdale Pharmacy, and has a similar estab- lishment in Yorkville. Mr. Robinson is a druggist of extensive experience, and is examiner in practical dispensing in the Ontario College of Pharmacy. M. J. HYNES & BRO. This firm is located at 88 York St., Toronto, but as their line of business, which includes everything in ornamental plaster- ing, is not represented in Parkdale, they are presented in the Register, and attention called to their advertisement. Their work is very artistic, and gives great satisfaction. JOHN THORNTON keeps a book store, and has also a varied stock which comprises crockery, tobacco, cigars, etc. He has been connected with the Globe newspaper office for many years and is a man of great reli- ability and sound practical judgment. m 1 Gi Fi Gec ADVERTISEMENTS. 23 ESTABLISHED 1878. -:o:- m @ liiaiai ^mmtf Emm IN PARKDALE, •:g:- BOOTH BROS., DEALERS IN Groceries and Provisions, i» P > H " V Fine Teas and Pure Coffees A SPECIALTY. i ' h GEO^IGE S.

This firm, who are spoken of elsewhere in connection with the electric light, have an extensive planing and moulding establish- ment in the vicinity of Parkdale. They have done a great deal towards encouraging the establishment of manufacturies on the west side of Toronto, and are supplying some of them with power. They have organized a Temperance Society in the neighbourhood of their establishment, of which about thirty of their employees have become members, and several since joining the Society have bought houses, built for them by Messrs. Essery & Reid, in which they and their families are now residing. The firm aro public- spirited in a high degree, and are not only promoting their own welfare, but also that of others. Their business is increasing very fast, and such men certainly deserve prosperity. SAMUEL HOBBS comes from London, England, and has been in Parkdale four years. He is a first-class tinsmith, having learned his trade with C. T. Whatmough, of Toronto. His advertisement deserves atten- tion. Mr. Hobbs is also the secretary of the Parkdale Lodge of Oddfellows. G. G. PURSEY has been but a few months in Parkdale, having removed there from Toronto, of which city he has been a resident for fifteen years. He is a native of Somersetshire, England. Mr. Pursey is a man of cultivated mind, and of no common order of literary ability. The spare time not occupied in business he devotes to literature and science, thus increasing his store of ideas and keeping his mental powers in active exercise. He is in the boot, shoe, and fancy slipper business, having two establishments in Parkdale, in one of which he manufactures. He makes a specialty of fancy slippers, and from long experience in the business is able to guarantee satisfaction in every particular. He is an active promoter of the project of establishing a Mechanics' Institute in Parkdale. JOSEPH A. WISEMAN is a native of Southampton, England. He has been two years in Parkdale, is engaged in the grocery and provision business, and manages the Parkdale and City Express. He is a very reliable young man, and his industrious habits have gained him much commendation. m fbcW First-Clc Stoi k ( ii r a 03 • r-t o o ► B-w^^lA W* Ladi mestio Repaiict ADVERTISEMENTS. 25 I PARKDALE POST OFFICE. i :o: th:o3v^.a.s ooles.

M'LACHLAN, Clerk of the Council and Secretary of the School Board, is a native of Argyleshire, Scotland, but has been in Canada since early boyhood. He is a very painstaking, trustworthy man, and since coming to Parkdale about four years ago has identified himself with 'jvery movement tending to promote the moral and material prosperity of the village. He holds an excellent position in the of- fice of the Provincial Secretary, Toronto, and his affable but un- affected manner wins the regard of all with whom he is brought into business or social contact. HUGH MACMATH has been engaged in the insurance and real estate business in Parkdale since March 1879. He has had a long experience in both these branches west of Toronto, and came to that city to take charge of the insurance department in the office of Morton, Watson and Co. His attention was attracted to the advantages Parkdale offered for business, and he determined to reside there. Mr. MacMath's estimable qualities have gained the confidence of his fellow citizens and he stands high in their regard. He is the Assessor of the municipality and performs the critical duties of that office to the satisfaction of all concerned. THOMAS COLES is Postmaster and has been in Pa kdale about five years. He is the proprietor of a first class hardware store and does a very ex- tensive trade. The business of the Post Oflfice has rapidly in- creased, there being now about 150 boxes rented. Mr. Coles is a thorough business man. He is a member of the Council, Chairman of the Committee on Water Works and Electric Light, and Chief of the Fire Brigade. His abilities have been of great service in forwarding the improvements of the village. DR. A. M. LYND is the longest established physician in Parkdale, and is a gradu- ate of the Toronto University of the year 1875. After graduat- ing he became one of the resident assistant physicians of the Toronto General Hospital.

C. MUSSEN is one of the most energetic and enterprising citizens of Park- dale. He was born in Indiana, Haldimand Co., Ontario. About four years ago he removed from Toronto to Parkdale. At that time he held a position in the Toronto Post Office, but being one of the first to perceive the advantages which the present site of Parkdale afforded for the founding of a village that would thrive and grow, he resigned his position in the Post Office and has since exercised his energies in aiding the progress of the place in which he takes so deep an interest. He signed the first notice call- ing a meeting for the purpose of incorporating Parkdale, and has steadily devoted his time and abilities to furthering the devel- opment of the village. Mr. Mussen is engaged in the real estate and insurance business. He has built several houses in Parkdale, and has just completed the erection of a fine business block on Queen-street, west of the toll-gate. He has always had great faith in the future of the village, and is one of those men whose estim- able qualities render them eminently serviceable to the community in which they reside. Prompt, industrious, and broadminded, Mr. Mussen is zealous in the prosecution of whatever he undertakes, and the effect of his indefatigable energy is clearly manifested in the rapid progress of Parkdale. MRS. B. B. LEAMEN. This lady conducts a very enterprising dry goods, fancy goods, and millinery establishment. Her stock is quite full and com- plete, including an excellent assortment of articles essential to a lady's wardrobe. Mrs. Leamen has the sincere respect and regard of a large circle of friends. WILLIAM PAHEY. This gentleman served with credit and distinction for ten years in the Queen's Own Rifles, and is now on the retired list, having attained the rank of Lieutenant. At the time of the Fenian in- vasion of Canada Mr. Fahey, who was then an Ensign, was wounded in the left knee, and taken prisoner at Limeridge. His gallant and meritorious conduct on that occasion made him con- spicious among the brave defenders of Canada. He was among the early settlers in Parkdale, and has Deen very instrumental in promoting the advancement of the village. He is one of the Au- ditors, and, although no office-seeker, takes a lively interest in 28 PARKDALE. municipal affairs. He is also Auditor of the Commercial Travel- ers Association of Canada, and a delegate to the Synod from St. Mark's Episcopal Church. Mr. Fahey does an extensive insurance business, and represents several first-class companies. A. W. BRAIN has resided in Parkdale for nearly seven years, and has earnestly aided the progress of the village. He is an artizan and business man of a high grade of ability, and of extended experience. He is the Agent of the Domestic Sewing Machine, the great and striking peculiarity of which is its every-day character. It is a ma- chine for use — not for show. Its superiority is seen in the work that has to ^ ^ done in the family — not in useless and impractica- ble oddities. It needs no preparation, but is always ready. It does not get out of order, or break down, or refuse to work, but does all that is expected of it, and does it easily, quickly, and well. Mr. Brain also supplies needles for all kinds of machines, attach- ments, oil, threads, &c., and does repairing of all kinds of ma- chines at short notice.
