The apple evaporator which D.F. Hamlink built on Bruce street about 1910 became -a busy
canning industry, with a substantial export trade. After his death in 1918 it was carried on by a
joint stock company.

Arrangements were made for
continued operation of the
canning factory, and in the
following year Hamlink's
executor, London & Western
Trust, sold thecanning plant to
Harold -Boswell-Reid, who
carried on under the name of
Huron Canning & Evaporating
Company. He made an
assignhent in March, 1922, to
F.C. Clarkson, Toronto. A
limited stock company, Huron
Canning & Evaporating Co.,
Limited, took over from the
trustee.
Hamlink had lived on the
south side of Montreal street, in
a house, purchased from Mrs.
William Lee, a daughter of
Christopher Crabby Mrs.
Hamlink died Dec. 28, 1934, and
was buried in the Abraham
Smith plot in Maitland
Cemetery.
The canning factory had been
unocupied for some years when
the late Glenwood Nelson
bought it about 1943. The
Nelson boys, then in high
school, were doing statuary
arts as a pastime, and when the
second world war stopped
Japanese imports they began
producing after school hours. A
wholesaler happened to see the
products and encouraged
production on a larger scale,
which led to purchase of the
factory on Bruce street and the
large building in rear, which
had been a warehouse.
"There was not a whole pane
in the -place," Mrs. Nelson
recalls; "we had to buy glass
by the gross, and put in a new
roof. We shipped our goods
from coast to coast during the
war; but after material became
hard to get I worked alone and
sold to the gift shop. Then we
gradually put in apartments.
We put in our own first: c e
four sons. We sold the
three years ago.'
