XXXX c1�i XXXkXkXk XX XX C XXXXXX • Hamilton Believes In Organized Effort
The Toronto Globe of today has a
big two column article headed : Great
5e j Industrial Expansion Anticipated for
Hamilton. With the article Is a photo--
X
graph of Mr. C. W. Kirkpatrick, newly
appointed Industrial Commissioner for
that city.
! The article gives an account of the
JAMES LLOYD & SON . great industrial growth of Hamilton,
and its ambition to become the great
industrial center of Canada. The ar-
ticle in part says :
Like all communities, Hamilton had
a small beginning. Its geographical
• location meant much. It is an inter-
V�holesale Fruit mediate railway centre, and is now a
'��,`,,� feigo..rite tdocation for -American in-
al`�c � dustries which locate branch factories
x ' in pastern or Central Canada. As a
wir result of this Hamilton can boast of
Xthe greatest plow worxs, one of the
• largest agricultural implement works
x and CrocerySundries asu welleas one l the largest blast
furnaces and steel plants in the Em'
pire. The capital invested in Hamilton
Xindustries now totals $75,000,000. Over
' $25,000,000 is paid in wages annually,
X while the approximate value of the
� output from Hamilton industries
X ' amounts to $100,000,000. Upwards of
750 United States concerns have located
�ti�i�t�t�,�t�t . in the industrial centre, representing
�j � ,�Xk1[k1A�XftX]tX; a capital investment of $25,000,000.
! Some idea of the money transaction
that takes place in Hamilton . in the
course of a year is gained from a
citation of the 1917 bank clearings,
which totalled $244,401,339. The 1917
customs collections amounted - to '
$6,924,991. The total freight moved in
and out of Hamilton in` the month of
sue = March last was 266,350 tons.
� Such figures say n great deal for
11 j the industrial development of Ham-
• ilton, which, while apparently suc-
1 I cessful, is not content to stand still.
The thriving industries that . will
i enable the communit-y to pass through
the economic depression economists
say will return when the war ceases,
Ihave encouraged the people to go on.
Already plans are well made. Bir.,
