George Day, Industrial Commissioner, announces the location of another industry in Welland-the British-American Drug Co., Limited, Manufacturing Chemists.

This company has been incorporated under a provincial charter, with a capital of $300.000.

It is the intention of the company to manufacture patent medicines, drug supplies, and among many other things, Van’s Ointment, which has proven so wonderfully successful in all skin disorders.

A board of directors has been elected, consisting of Col. B.J McCormick, Dr. H.D. Cowper, W.G.Smith, the prominent Welland druggist and D.B. Coleman, barrister.

The charter just secured covers the manufacture of all lines of drugs and druggists supplies. The company is linking up with the druggists throughout Canada.

The factory location in the city has not yet been determined but the company has fully decided that its manufactory is to be carried on in Welland.
