PLYMOUTH CORDAGE COMPANY WILL DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THEIR PLANT
Four Other Factories Have Decided to Make Extensive Additions-
Next Year to See Great Development of Town
[Welland Telegraph, 31 December 1912]
That the Plymouth Cordage Company has definitely decided to spend $350,000 in the enlargement of their Welland plant is the information which has reached The Telegraph.
The new building will be built north of the present plant and will exactly double the capacity of the mill now in operation. Officials of the company will give no information but it is understood the work will be started in the spring.
The decision to enlarge has been anticipated for many months. The Welland plant has never been able to meet the demands of the Canadian market and over-time operation has been the rule for many seasons.
The Telegraph is also informed that the company will erect an additional number of houses for the workmen.
ANOTHER GROWING FIRM
The Supreme Heating Co., two months ago, called all their travellers in off the road for the reason that the full capacity of the plant had been booked for many weeks in advance. A considerable enlargement is now under consideration. This will make the second enlargement for this firm within two years.
Other factories, it is learned, are preparing for additions. The Billings-Spencer plant will be doubled in size next spring. A new power-house is now being built and the contracts for the new buildings will be let soon.
Another storey will be added to the Chipman-Holton factory next spring. The capitalization of the company was recently increased. At present the plant is too small to meet the increasing demand for the output.
With this work under way and the new cotton mills under construction next summer should see Welland take big steps citywards.
WILL BUILD NEXT SPRING
Another factory which finds itself in need of additional room is the Welland Machine & Foundries Company. Next spring work will be star ted on several extensive additions to the factory buildings. Wm. Edestrand, manager of the plant, stated on Saturday that the company is rushed with orders and handicapped by the lack of accommodation.
