FIRST FURNACE.— Teeswater News refers to a former resident of this locality as follows:— Teeewater Fur- nace Works turned out their first cas- tings last week before a number of in- terested onlookers from the village, and the manager, Ed. Dennis, pro- nounced the castings to be perfect in every respect, as the best material was procured and every care taken in moulding. He has received numerous enquiries from all over Ontario con- cerning this new product and has or- ders enough ahead to keep him busy for a time. Just as soon as he can get his shop organized and the different departments running smoothly, they will be able to produce them fast enough to meet the demand. They displayed the furnace at the Fair here and it is the first one shown in Canada of its kind. Lot us hope they will achieve all the success of the former owners of this shop the Gillies & Mar- tin Co. who put Teeewater on the map with their farm machinery in the ear- ly days of the village.
