| TEXT | One of the most unpretentious, and at the same time one of the most vigorous, local manufacturing interests is the one named above. Established over seven years ago, it may be said to have reached that stage where all doubt as to its success have passed. The present proprietors, although not the original inceptors, are nevertheless the gentlemen to whom are due the credit for the present prosperous and vigorous position which it has attained as one of the leading industries in Brantford. The factory is situated on Victoria Street, and is built of white brick 45 x 30 feet, two stories; the upper floor is used temporarily as an office, and the lower one exclusively for storing and varnishes, which are kept in large tanks holding from 250 to 350 gallons each. The present capacity is about 85,000 annually, and at the present rate of increase there is but little question but that next year's figures will reach the sum of 200,000, if not more. The works cover an area of over three-quarters of an acre, and a substantial brick dwelling is upon the premises, where a trusty night watchman resides. The Varnishes are put up ready for shipment in tin cans holding from five to ten gallons, and in barrels and half barrels. In brief, the works and their products have more than a local reputation, and in this respect Messrs. Whiting & Scarfe are aiding to build up what may become one of the most prominent manufacturing enterprises of the Province. |
