| TEXT | The Brantford Soap Works was begun by Charles Watts in 1856, and has increased until it is one of the most extensive establishments of the kind in Ontario. fourteen varieties of goods are produced, ranging from the finest toilet soap to the most improved brands of laundry bars. the weekly consumption of tallow amounts to about sixteen thousand pounds, besides a like proportion of other stock; the various manipulations are conducted under two general heads or departments, known respectively as the staple and fancy departments. there are fifteen men employed; also machinery used, which is propelled by a steam engine of fifteen horse-power. the premises have been extended from time to time to accommodate the requirements of the growing trade. The soaps from this house find their way to all parts of the Dominion of Canada, including the new North-West Territories. The present proprietors are Mr. Alfred Watts and Mr. Robert Henry, under the name and style of A. Watts & Co. This factory has been for the past twenty-five years under the management of Chas. Jarvis, whose long connection with the business has made him king over all, and to-day the soaps manufactured by this firm take the lead throughout the Dominion. |
