| THEMA | Firmenbeschreibung |
| TEXT | This establishment has developed from a modest beginning made in January, 1866, by two brothers, Thomas and John Hext, who were both practical workmen. Their first shop was a small building on the corner of Dalhousie and Queen Streets, but in 1870 their business had increased beyond the capacity of that place, and they erected the front or main portion of the present works on Dalhousie Street. In 1877 a two story addition was made, and in 1881 another extension, three stories in height, was added, so that there now is an extensive system of shops. This industry gives employment to twenty-five mechanics, and has facilities for turning out one hundred carriages and an equal number of sleighs each year. In July of the year 1875, Mr. Thomas Hext was called to his final rest, and the surviving brother became the sole proprietor, and so continues to this date. The work manufactured by Mr. Hext is intended for local use, and is principally disposed of in Central Ontario, although a respectable percentage is marketed in the North-West, and some even goes to foreign countries. The establishment consumes a large amount of material, both domestic and foreign, much of which is imported directly by the proprietor. |
