♦ GREAT NAMES IN CANADIAN PAPERMAKING ♦ JAMES BROWN Canada ' s first Papermaker Near St. Andrews East, Quebec, stands a cairn commemorating the Argenteuil Paper Manufactory, Canada ' s first paper mill, a combination of Canadian and American capital, skill, and enterprise. In 1803, James Brown, a Montreal bookseller, purchased an old sawmill near St. Andrews and asked two New England craftsmen— Walter Ware and Benjamin Wales —to convert the mill to papermaking. By 1805 the mill was producing wrapping, writing, and printing papers. Later newsprint was also turned out at the mill. Although it operated for only about 30 years before being destroyed by a flood, this little mill has the honour of being the forerunner of Canada ' s largest manufacturer and largest exporter— the pulp and paper industry— which generates, directly or indirectly, one out of every seven dollars in the income of every Canadian. For nearly 50 years The Ontario Paper Company has participated in the historic development of Canada ' s most important industry. It is a leading manufacturer of news- print, pulps, and chemical products. More than 95% of its products are exported to earn important trade dollars for Canada. Through planned forest management, research and development, and re-investment in operations, it will continue to bring stabihty and long-term rewards to Canada and Canadians.

GM Leadership starts Mith McKinnon The only way you get to see the McKinnon -built part of a GM car is by lifting the hood — or crawling under- neath. That way you can inspect the engine, transmission, propeller shaft, differential and rear axle to your heart ' s content. Most people are satisfied to know that these very important items are all there and functioning smoothly in Canada ' s most popular cars. And as long as most people are satisfied, then we at McKinnon are satisfied too. You don ' t see what we build very often — but even the best cars (GM cars) wouldn ' t get very far without it! Gives us a warm feeling, knowing that we ' re needed. Have been since 1878, in fact. McKJnnon ■QaEOBmaiBiEiaii Subsidiary of General Motors Corporation • St. Catharines and IFindsor
