THE EVAPORATOR

[Welland Tribune, 24 August 1900]

A large two-storey addition, about 20×30, is being erected to the Welland evaporator by Contractor Ellsworth, to be used as a dryer. The drying ovens did not give good satisfaction last year, and the new building is to do their work. It is constructed on the latest improved plan. The ground floor contains the furnaces, and the heat ascends through the upper floor, which is really a drying rack, being constructed of inch square strips laid a quarter of an inch apart and on which the apples are laid.

MACHINERY SHIPMENTS

The firm of M. Beatty & Sons are doing an exceptionally large business in hoisting engines this year, having already sold many more than were made in any previous year. The number sold to date is twenty-nine. A carload of three was shipped this week to M.P. Davis for the Quebec bridge work. This was the second carload to him, the first having been shipped to Mr. David last week. The week before engines were sent to the Engineering & Contracting Co., Chaudiere Jct., Quebec, and Canadian Rand Drill Co., Quebec.
