ELECTRICAL SIGN CO. FOR WELLAND
Expect to be in Operation Within Forty Days
New Industry to Employ 40 Hands
[People’s Press, 12 March 1912]
The first new industry of the year to choose Welland as the location for a new plant is the Holman Sign Co. of Toronto. This firm has bought the idle plant recently used by the Electro-Steel Co., from A.M. Mosley and C.J. Laughlin, and will remove their factory from Toronto to Welland.
The Holman Sign Co. are practically the only large firm in Canada manufacturing electrical signs at present.
Their products have a monster market, electrical displays with alternating currents being the general pattern of signs used nowadays. One Holman sign in use in Welland is that of the New Century poolroom on East Main St.
Forty men will be employed in the new plant when its operation starts in full swing, and its business increases so rapidly that additions will be constantly being made to this number.
The company has begun fixing up the Electro-Steel plant on the west side of the canal below the M.C.R. already in preparation for the moving in of its machinery. Members of the firm state that they expect to be turning out signs from their Welland plant within forty days.
