PROPOSED GLASS FACTORY
[Welland Telegraph, 10 April 1891]
Mayor T.F. Brown, received a letter on the 19th of March, from the Hon. R. W. Scott, of Ottawa, asking if the town would grant a company which he represents a bonus of $25,000 towards establishing a grass factory in the town. The mayor in acknowledging the letter, asked for further particulars and received a reply to the same yesterday, in which the writer (Hon. Mr. Scott) stated that his company purposed starting forthwith with one ten pot furnace, which will give employment to 60 men, and to add during the following year another furnace, giving employment to from 150 to 200 hands, with a capacity of turning out $100,000 worth of work annually. If the scheme can be worked there is no doubt but what it will prove of an immense advantage to the town, and it is hoped that the mayor will succeed in putting the matter through.
