CAGE WL BOWMA NVILLE Phones: Office, 687; Res, 300 Bowmanville Now on Map as an Industrial Center; Has Six Large Factories All Ave Making Progress--| Hollinghead Co., Good- year, Dominion Organ and Piano, Durham Tex- tiles, Foundry Co. and Radiant Electric Company Are the Thriving Indus tries (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Mar. 6.--Since the commencing one year ago of oper- ations in the R. M. Hollingshead Company of Bowmanville, this town may readily state that it is successfully on the map as an in- dustrial center. There are nuw in the vicinity of Bowmanville six large manufacturing plants, all in a different line of business working full staff and full time and turning out finished products that are making the world turn eyes on the little town of Bowmanville, Refer- ence is here made to the R. M. Hollingshead Company, the Good- year Tire and Rubber Company, The Dominion Organ and iano Company, The Durham Textiles Limited, the Bowmanville Foundry Company and the other new plant, the Radiant Electric Company, These plants have put Bowman- ville on the map. They have built up the population to a considerable extent and employ a large percent- age if not practically all thelr em- ployees from the citizens of the town itself. Bowmanville is slowly becoming more populated and with the Tourist camp, the central loca- tion on the highways and the busi- ness activities, it should soon be- Standard Bank Staff Driven From Office by Gas From the Furnace (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Mar. 6.-- The effect of placing some foreign substance in the fur- nace at the Standard Bank here this morning complete Jy set all routine at a stan. still, The odor which arose from the fire possessed an as- phyxiating gas which caused the Bank to take to the street. It was found neces- sary to continue business at any rate, and tem o'clock found the officlas and em- ployees puzzling over their books on the window sills of the Bank. Soon after this, however, the room cleared and the business in the bank THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1928 Ba a -- come one of the foremost towns in In an interview with the man- agers of the Hollingshead Company today, it was learmed that this company looks to the future for many developments in their busi- ness both in the expansion of prop- erty and in the expamsion of gen- eral industrial output. Although the company was originally in the United States and still maintains a large line of activity there, the new aut looks forward to supply- ing Canada and Canada alone with their merchandise. The plant manufactures all of its own necessities in the way of production with one or two minor exceptions. These exceptions are in the form of containers for pro- ducts which are purchased in the Dominion. The plant here is strict- ly a Canadian enterprise and the heads of the local company report splendid business and are prepar- ing for an enlargement to supply the large demand of their products which is continually coming in. In inaugurating their business in Bowmanville, the new company bas installed the most up-to-date machinery, costing in the neighbor- hood of $75,000, purchased a most complete equipment for the pre- vention of fire including a sprink- ler system of the latest type, a Foamite extinguisher, and various water mains with hose attached. The conditions are such that any fire marshall or inspector could give an excellent report, To introduce their broad line of products, the company last year at the Canadian National Exhibition gave away to the public 50,000 samples of merchandise, This system of shawing Canadian Goods to Canadians won for the company much acknowledgement and ac- cordingly increased their popular- ity with the people of this country. A new and modern set of scales is now being installed in the plant which will test and at the same time save trouble in the handling of the many cartons of merchandise, Automatic pressure and control features the modes of mixing and developing the products which re- quire the substance of oils and gasolines, This system is new and clean-cut and saves labour and ex- pense, The company sends out from the factory one car-load of different merchandise per day to Canadian dealers, They also state that they Fine Address Heard at Annual Meeting of the Chamber of Commerce --. 4 C.

Carrothers was elected president of the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce at their annual ban- quet held in the Balmoral Hotel this evening. The dining-hall was filled to capacity and enthusiasm at this meeting reigned high. Allin Campbell, past president, occupied the chair. It was moved that a striking committee appoint the new offic- ers. This committee was compos- ed of A. M. Hardy, chairman, W, J. Elllott, T. 8. Holgate, C. A, Cawker, and G. E. Chase.

After a few general remarks C. H. Carlisle, president of the Goodyear Come pany of Canada gave one of the most interesting addresses on bus- iness activities and work of the Chamber of Commerce which have been related, He outlined the conditions which existed when he first came to this section of the country more than 18 years ago. A small business kept Mr. Car- lisle busy in the first years of his life in Bowmanville. After a few years, however, he met a Mr, Robinson of the Durham Rubber Company and joined him in thie new venture. The company as formed made many alterations with the property and equipment and commenced the manufactur- ing of tires. At this point in his career Mr, Carlisle was mistaken in his purpose for acquiring much more material for manufacturing purposes than hitherto was found necessary, but informed his man- ager successfully that the in- crease in these materials was war- ranted, The town gave all nee- essary ald to the success of this new company in the vicinity at the time, but when the occasion broke for the running of a branch line to the now large factory, some citizens objected. This state of affalrs was a hindrance to an ever-increasing business (Continued on page 5) |86 POLICE COURT GASES LAST YEAR and a social time was spent a dainty lunch was served by the hostess.
