forth an added impetus, forming the
most important epoch in the history
of the town.
Coleman & Gouinlock .censtantly
employed between. 60 and 75 men, 'a
sawmill and cooperage in connection
with the salt works.
The salt Output capacity was 500
barrels 'per week, but they scarcely ev-
er exceeded the half of this amount,
as none of their product was shipped
any farther east. than Toronto, which
was the. 'distributing point for Huron
centres. Next hy_ way of capanity_was
the Eclipse S -alt Works, ewned, and
operated by • Gray, Young & Spading,
employing an average of between 20
and 25 men and turning out between
250 and 300 barrels of salt. '
