In 1836, the late S. R. War- 31-en, grandfather of the present F. R. {Warren and g`reat-grandfather of the {present S. R. Warren, established the `business in Montreal. Some years glater it was moved to Toronto and `i there its headquarters remained until iabout-1895. C. S, Warren, son of IS. R. Warren, had meanwhile become gonnectedwitfh the rm.

Two !or three sites are in view but nothing igdenite has been arranged. Equip- jment will be moved here from Wood- `stock. Expert organ builders will be .obtained and a large amount of local `labor will be used in addition.
