These enterprising gentlemen got their power from an engine taken off a spray wagon, while they were build ing the first engine with which to supply their own power, it was of two and oneâ€"half Ihorse power. Move into Grimsby In the spring of 1910, the factory was moved into Grimsby and a shop opened in the brick building on Vicâ€" toria Ave., owned by Mr. J. W. Vanâ€" Dyke. At this. time, Mr. Hugh â€" D. Walker, became interested in the firm and right here is where the Specialty. Mfg. Co. of Grimsby sprang into existance. The new firm continued to do busiâ€" ness in the brick bui‘ding for three months when they moved into the evaporator. It was while in the old building that the first six horse power engine was built. The firm Under this heading, we will endeavor to give to our readers a short breezy article each week about the different manufacturing industries of our prosperous little village. Our idea is to give our readers a little insight into the growth and development of the different firms and> to boom Grimsby to the top rung of the ladder "A Town in 1912, A City in 1920" (Junior Editor) 3 . f also secured the rights to make the Randall & Falconbridge three legged fruit ladder, which was called the "Grimsby." $ The business expanded so rapidly that the management decided to buy a piece of ground and build an upâ€" toâ€"date factory of their own. Buy the Ground and Start Factory In accordance with their decision, they bought the ground on the corâ€" ner of John and kiobinson Sts., and erected a two storey factory 100 x 50 and in September 1910, they moved into their new premises and work started in earnest. Nothing but the lates. macunery was installed in the new factory and none but the best of mechanics were hired and as a consequence, they have yet to have a piece of work turned back on their hands. New Spraying Machine Started I the fall of 1910, the firm decided to build a spraying outfit and _ they immediately started to work _ on them to get ready for the spraying trade. Their outfit proved so popular that the demand proved to be more than the output. The fruit growers claim this machine to be the best on the market in Canada, by a Canadian firm and are greatly pleased with the manner in which they work. Besides the power sprayer, the firm also handles the Gould handâ€" pump sprayer and next season it is their intention to manufacture these handâ€"pumps themselves. Over $10,000 worth of spraying ma chinery was sold by this firm this spring and they have never had a kick of any kind from the buyers of them.

This buildâ€" ing will also be used as a store room and for assembling purposes. Early in the spring the firm bought a large lot from Mr. Edgar Farewell on the opposite corner of John and Robinson Sts. They will erect a large show room and demonâ€" strating room on this ground At the rear of their present facâ€" tory, another large moulding . shop will be built. Building Large Numbers of Stoves Besides their spraying outfits the firm also manufactures two lines of stoves, the "Oak" and the "Tortoise" each in three different sizes. hand for over five thousand stoves to be delivered between August first and December first. most of these stoves are for the D. Moore, Co., of Hamilton and the T. Eaton, Co., of Toronto. / On the ground floor of the present factory is to be found the offices and the lathes and drills with nothing but competent men working on the different machines. At the present time three 6 horse power gasoline engines are required to supply the power for the maâ€" chines, but a steam boiler of twenty horse power capacity is ‘being put in to take the place of the engines and also to supply steam for heating purposes As you wander through this part of the factory â€" and out int> â€"the wellâ€"equipped moulding shop where 4 moulders are hard at work, you won der, if this can really be the shme firm that two years ago started in a little shack out on a farm. Upstairs in the pattern room is located the dynamo for the lighting of the different building, so you see the â€"company supplies their own light. The first shipment of stoves sent out from the factory was shipped on Tuesday of this week, to the D. Moore people. Upstairs the patterr room is situâ€" ated in the rear, wile at the front a new nickle plating depap:tment is being erected. The cupola in the moulding shop is built on the outside of the buildâ€" ing so that nearly all danger from fire is eradicated.

Mr. Woolverton was born in the Township of North Grimsby and is a son of Mr. E. J. Woolverton. He had always been in the fruit business, up till the time he joined with ind Snyder in the building of the first en gine. He still owns a beautiful home and fruit farm in North Grims by. i Mr. Walker was born in Smithville and as a young man patented what is known at the present time as the "Preston Metal Shingle and Siding" he is the man who founded this com pany, lcaving it to manufacture stoves and head the company known as the Walker Steel Range Co., now the Hallâ€"Zryd Company of Grimsby. The first roofing and siding ever put on by Mr. Walker are still doing service and are in good repair, they are on the residence and engine house of Mr. Jas. Secor, on the stone road in the Township of South Grimsby. After leaving the Walker Steel Range, Mr. Walker went to Buffalo and engaged in the pulley business, bhe sola his ‘busines out and came back to Grimsby and associated himâ€" self with the Specialty Mig.
