OUR INDUSTRIES

PASt SEASON-—WORK IN THE

OF CHAKLOTTETOWN.

DURING THR FACTORIES

Cue past has been a busy season in the factories of Cha:lottetown. We are pleased to learu that the proprietors as a whole, are more than satisfied with the trade they have done and are doing. Orders have been unusually large, labor has been easily obtained, wages have been gocd, and no difficulty has been experienced in ‘turning out’ the work required. The machine shops have been unugually active. During the greater part of (he summer they were obliged to run over time. This shows that the manufacture of machinery is increasing on the Island, and that our mechanics can successfully compete with those of the Provinces. In the furniture, woollen, boot, and other factories, trade has been brisk, and we are pleased to see

| continues lively up to the present.

ESDALE FOUNDRY.

Among those which have had a most suc- cessful season we may mention the machine factory of Messrs. McKinnon & McLean, known as the ‘‘Esdale Foundry.” That firm%:as now daily employed over thirty-

' tive hands, and during the summer has kept

forty working over time. It is the largest establishment of its kind in the Province, and is yearly increasiug its capacity for deing first class work. The principal ma- chinery kept in operation are five lathes, a

| planer, two vertical drills and a bolt cutter

(These are driven by a twenty-five horse power engins. In connection with the machine shop is a large foundry, where eight monlders are c nstantly employed.

This foundry is quite new, and is, we

believe, the most complete of its kind in the Provinces. The firm manufacture

ichiefly boilers and steam engines, but do

all kinds of m&chine work for milling, farm- ing and shipping. Regarding the past sea- son's work we are informed that Messrs. McKinnon & McLean have manufactured seven steam engines and eight boilers besides a lot of mill supplies and supplies for starch factories. Of the ten starch factories which operate on the Island the

firm have placed the machinery in nine. They have just shipped to New Bruns wick a thirty horse-power engine aud

a rotary saw mill, and to Nova Scotia a forty he rse-power engine and boiler. They are new engaged manufacturing a twenty horse-power engine and boiler for the flour

lmilis of B. E. Wright, Esq , Royalty, and

a forty horse-power boiler for the Charlotte The mention of those few facts in connection with the firm

(of McKinnon & McLean show that they | had a most successful season’s work in the |past and a good prospect for the future. They say they are well satisfied with the | operation of the N. P. .

NEWSON 'S FURNITURE FACTORY. During the past season, John Newson, Esq., has made a numbor of alterations and mprovements in his furniture factory on Queen Square, and his facilities for manu- facturing every description of furniture are now better than ever. Mr. Newson

keeps constantly employed from twenty to twemuty-five mechanics. His tactory has a

large capacity for work, and this enables him to always keep abreast of the times. The machinery employed are three circular saws, jig saws, a large and a small planer, a variety moulder, a tennoning machine, and two turning lathes, all of which are run by an eight horse-power engine. The past has

een a busy season in this factory, and the superiority of the work done can be easily demonstrated by a visit to his extensive warerooms, which are said to be among the finest in the provinces.

MARK WRIGHT & CO.

The new firm of Mark Wright & Co. commenced business during the summer in the well-known stand of the late Mark Butcher, Esqg., King Square. Since the firm took charge a great many improve- ments have been made in the establishment. They report doing an excellent businees and invite inspection of the premises. The warerooms are well stocked with the differ- ent varieties of furniture manufactured by them. It presents a very superior appear- ance and proves that good work is done on the premises. This firm have very great facilities for manufacturing furniture, ete. There machinery is excellent and num- erous in variety. They have now in opera- tion a surface planer, three wuod lathes, one iron lathe, two jig-saws, an upright and a pony planer, @ variety moulder, a boring

are run by a twenty-five horse-power engine, manufactured by McKinnon & McLean. There is attached to the engine house a dry kiln twenty-five by seven feet. The firm keeps seven hands employed, but with an increase of business this number will, no doubt, be increased, We wish the new enterprise every success,

DORSEY, GOFF & CO.'S BOOT AND SHOE

FACTORY.

The boot and shoe factory of Dorsey, Goff & Co. presents a lively appearances. It gives daily employment to sixty gqpera- tives, who are now working over time, and pays @ weekly average of Wages amounting to two handred and fifty dollars. The fac- tory is most complete as_regards machinery. It has now in operation two peggars, two brushers, a sand-paper machine, an edge setter, an edge trimmer, a Washburn heel t:immer, two wax thread sewing machines, and eight ordinary sewing machines, all driven by steam power. With this machinery the factery turns out an average of six thousand seven handred pairs of boots per week. This stock finds a ready market on the Island. In fact it takes the full running facilities of the factory to turn out a sufficient supply of boots and shoes for the Island trade. The stock manufac- tured gives the best satisfaction and ig in general demand. The firm started business in the fall of 1883, have been niost success- ful, and say the wholesale trade is twice as good now as it was this time last year.

WHITE'S FOUNDRY AND MACHINE SHOP,

The machine shop and foundry of A. White & Son is situated on the south side of King Square. Here all kinds of machin- ery used in factories, mills, ships or on farms are manufactured at reasonable rates. Duricg the past season the firm reports

business fair. They have kept from eighteen to twenty hands coustantly employed and have paid good wages.

Attached to the machine shop is a first-c!ass foundry, where all kinds of molding is done.

Mr. Robert Smallwood, whose factory is situated on the corner of Upper Queen and Long Streets, reports a most succes:fal He constantly em- ploys thirteen hands in the m#nufaeture of shingle machines, surface planers, rotary saw mills, and doing mill work generally. Mr. Smaliwood we leara turns out on average two machines per week, and ginds a ready market for them on the Island, and in Nova Scotia and in New Brunswick His facilities for manufacturing are very good. His work is pronounced satisfactory by purchasers, and his mackines compete most successfully with th@ machines of the same kind manufactured elsewhere. Ha has orders for eight machines which have to be filled this fall, and he looks forward toa brisk business next season. Mr. Small- wood has been in business for ten years. He says this is the best year he had since he commenced.

The new Sash and Door Factory of Robert Palmer & Co., is situated on the head of Peake’s No. 3 Wharf, clese to Street.

To give an idea of their business in agricul- tural machinery we may state that during the past season they have turned out over six hundred sets of plough metals. This speaks well of the patronage received by A. White & Son from our farmers. CHARLOTTETOWN WOOLLEN FACTORY.

| This factory is pearly three years in | operation, and its success may be setn in its present operations. It gives annual employment to over forty hands who are paid on average of one thousand dollars per month. It has two sets of machinery for manufacturing woollens. These have a capacity for manufacturing two thousand yards of cloths per week. The factory is being im- proved by the addition of a large ware- house and new boiler. It is superintended by a leading member of the Company— Mr W. D. McKay. He reporis business much the same this year as last, and is well satis- fied with the result of both years, and looks to bright prospects for the factory in future.

There are in Charlottetown a number of smaller manufactures which are deserving of note had we time and espace. ‘They too, we learn, have bad a profitable summer. With their “big brothers” we wish them continued success. : Sd
