THOROLD TP. BAGS TWO NEW INDUSTRIES

Council Passed Industries. By-Laws Yesterday-Automobiles and Washing Machines

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 7 June 1921]

Thorold Township Council at its meeting yesterday gave preliminary readings to the industrial by-laws upon which the ratepayers will vote at a later date. To get a single industry in these times is some achievement. To bag two is a miracle.

One of these by-lays for a fixed assessment on the property of the Falcon Motor Co., which has acquired a site on the west side of the canal near the Exolon Co. The company will manufacture a car to sell at $1,675 and will begin the erection of the building as soon as the by-law is carried. The proposal was presented to the council by James Battle.

The other proposal comes from Thos. Coulter and relates to Hydro Appliances, Limited. This company has purchased the Dominion Canners factory at Port Robinson and will manufacture washing machines.

The Tribune and Telegraph congratulates Thorold Township upon its industrial revival.
