Building and Manufacturing
Continued from page 1.
THE GODERICH ORGAN
FACTORY.
The Qoderich Organ Co., a cnt of
whose factory is given on this page. is
one of our leading industries. The pur-
chase of this institution by the present
firni marked an era in the progress of
the town, and was largely the Ineansof
bringing other industries here. Situ-
ated as we are in the midst of mut-h
valuable timber. no better point can be
found in Canada for the establishment
of wood working and kindred manu-
factories, and we invite the attention
of parties looking tor a favorable lora-
tion, recommending that they visit
Uo(lerich and interview our leading
manufacturers before deciding on it
location elsewhere. The Godetich Or -
co. was started in 1889 by the citi•
zens of Life town. arid employed 18 men,
but. the company, after running for
nearly three years at a loss, decided to
sell out, and the present conpany. com-
posed of James Clark, James A. McKay
and Aleck Saanders, purchased at, and
have since grown steadily, until today
they have a factory second -to none an
Canada, selling their products all over
the world. A glance at the smaller
picture of the Company's building, as
it appeared in 1892, and a comparison
with that of their present factory, tells*
of the progress they have made. They
now employ over 80 hands, and are
adding to the factory, as the orders are
ahead of its present •cspacity. They
make a specialty of high grade organs,
piano and organ stools and chairs, and
are practically the only firm in Canada
making a specialty of bathroom wood-
work. Their Tines of closet seats, tanks,
etc.. are handled by every wholesale
jobber in plutnbers'supplies in Canada.
The Company have recently trade
large purchases of ]anther, and their
yard is completely filled. They have
also instilled the McEehran system of
heatine-in their new dry kiln, which is
capable of drying 5,9710 feet of lumber
per day; and lookmg forward to further
increase they have just •tinished a new
brick smoke stack with draught for
additional boiler power.
This Company have always aimed at
making, high class goods, and never
reach their ideal, so that constant inn.
movement is --lade. Their export trade
is growing, and if business keeps ex
pending as it has done in the last six
months, further additions will he neces-
sary to overtake it.
OUR FISHING INDUSTRY.
The season of 1808 has been the
least successful, as far to Gnderich fish-
erman are concerned, of any for many
years. The small catch is not caused
by the scan city in these waters, of
trout and whitefish, though t.hey ate
not as plentiful as they were four or
live ytars since, but through our fisher-
men not being allowed to cast a net
south of a line drawn across the lake
due west from Qodertch.
The licenses issued by the Dominion
Government th4past few years have
:onflned our netters to the same limit-
ed /ren, but though the licenses were
so issued ourGnderich melt fished south
of this poi t until some twenty months
since, when three tug captions were
each tined $20 for fishing outside their
licensed district.
This season thine tugs and three sail
boats fished from this town, and the
total catch was between 3(Lnnd 40 per
cent. below the average of the past ten
years, a fact a bat Looks bad for the
fishing industry of Qoderich. The new
Ontario Fishery Department should
give our men a fair show, by allowing
therm to flsh within a fair distance on
either side of town, which would make
the outlook considerably brighter for
1899. As Ontario fishermen are gener-
ally allowed to fish on each side of the
port they fish from. itis hoped our hien
will be accorded this reasonable privi-
lege.
Anglers were not over successful dur-
ing 1898, though some exceedingly
good hags of black bass a:Id perch were
made. The limited catch by anglers.
however, was not caused by the de-
t•rease of river and harbor fish, hut.
through disturbed water caused by
1 dredging and work at the breakwater.

The Star Flour and Gristing Mill.
near the G. T. R. depot. built by N.
Diedrich, and opened for business this
year is always a scene of activity, as
in addition to the flour made for the
local and Montreal markets, it has a
Targe gristing patronage and chops
many tons of feed daily. The Star
flout' mill is a real addition to the busi-
ness interesta of the town, and the
reputation its excellent brands of flour
has made on the Montreal market will
advertise Goderieb in that eastern city.
The Big Mill was reopened this year,
though not for milling purposes, by
Richardson & Son, of Kingston, and
many vessel- loads of wheat from Fort
William have passed through its bins
for various porta in Ontario. Wheat
and peas have been purchased in I•trge
quantities on the Qoderich market,
causing- keener competition among
our grain merchant and considerably
increasing the offerings on the local
market.
Among labor saving improvements
for 1898, the elevators put in the grain
warehouses owned by Colborne &
Burrows and S. Sloan, by Hy. J. Mar-
ney, should not lie forgotten, os they
enable the tirtns named to unload four
wagons in less time than it used to
take to -clear out one. The one owned
by the first memtioned firm is t un by
horse power, the other by gasoline,
and both run easily and without fric-
tion.
The elevator of the Giodot•ich Elevator
and Transit Co. may be said to be
finished, the steam shovels having been
placed in position since we gave a full
report of the company's improvements
a few weeks since. THY STAR would
have been pleased to give a cut of the
extensive property, hut unfortunately
one could n,t he obtained in thine tor
this issue. We have been told by the
managers that the cost of the building,
machinery, etc., was $150,000,
Loftus E. Dnucey built -a handsome
douhle house on Waterloo street, the
main building containing 8 rooms and
the other 3 rooms. The dwelling,
pleasing to the eye and tastily finished,
as a line addition to the north end of
the town. It is said that the cost will
be in the neighborhood of $1,000.
