WINDSOR AND ITS INDUSTRIES Thirty years ano Windsor was u c|iiiet city of eleven thonsaiid persons. T i(lay it is the tonrtli farnest city in Ontaiio with a population of over 10(1,000 and stand- iiiK fourth in value of industrial production in Cana la. Windsor plays an important part in |)ronu tinK and partici| atinK in the forciKii tra le of onr Dominion. It lias hecome an attractive locality for .Vincrican firms desiring to exjiand their c. |iort hnsiness in the British Kmpire, and since the Imperial Kconomic Conference, many linns have h ' cated here and Windsor has hecome the centre for many classes of commodities manufac¬ tured ill Canada for export within the Em|)ire and to those countries with which Canada enjoys a preferential tariff. Seventy-three new firms have located in Windsor dnrint; the iiast six years. With few exceptions these industries are of .-Xmerican ori){in. In 1‘ .I6 the value of exports from Windsor amonnieil to approximately $24,IKH),()()0. Motor vehicles alone accounted for $iy,(K)(l,(MM) of the above total. The Iml- toilet preiiarations. washing comiiounds, and paints and varnishes. This Kroup of industries is constantly e.X| and- inn both in nnmhers and production, and comprises a very important section of the entire Canadian iiulnstry of this nature. The vcKctahle products industry is hecomiiiK iiicrcas- imtly im)iortant also. The larttesl section is that manu¬ facturing alcoholie lieveraKcs. Other urouiis of indus¬ tries in this class manufacture camicd vesetahles, soups, and fruits, cereals, flavouring extracts, bakery products, ami confectionery. All tidd .12 companies are ciiKatted in this line of work. The next class of industry of iniporlanee is classified as manufacturiuK non-mctaliic mineral products. Thirty- seven comiKinies are enttaKeil in producing the folhiwinn: Cement products, chiefly blocks and artificial stone, hnilders ' supplies, clay products, as brick and tile, silica brick, carbonated beverages, salt from natural local deposits, foundry faciiiRS, fireplace furnishiiiKS, and chlorinalors. ' I ' here is an extensive wholesale business in kIuss for bottles and for aniotmdtilcs, and in oil and gasoline. Class, though processed here, is not yet mann- ance is made up of such commodities as automobile and truck iiarts. cosmetics, scales, paints and varnisbes. adding machines, battery containers, structural steel, cereals. sprayiiiK ecpii| nient, lahelliuK machines, tool handles, playing cards, cleaniiiK compounds, gaskets, cranes, hoists, mechanical brass goods, paper boxes, but¬ tons, pumiis, distilled liipiors, special dyes, drugs, light and heavy chemicals, cloth caps and gloves, soa))s, canned fruit and vegetables. Phis list demonstrates the varied manufactured products exported from this area. While the manufacturing estahlisbmcnts in Windsor produce an extremely wide range of commodities, the most important groni is engaged in the manufacture or iron and steel products. Approximately 8(1 per cent, of the industrial employees in this community arc associated with this general class of iinlustry. Moreover, this branch of Windsor industry contributes a com¬ paratively large share to the total cniidoyment of labor engaged in the production of iron and steel i)ro lucts in Canada. Windsor is the automobile manufacturing centre of Canada. ' Phe Ford Motor ComiKiny of Canada, l.imiteil. the Chrvsler Corporation of Canada, Limited, the Stnde- hakcr Corporation of Canada, Limited, the (Iraliam- I’aige .Motors (Canada) Limited, and the Packard Motor Car Company of Canada, Limite l, have their chief Cana¬ dian establishments in our city. The Oeneral Motors of Canada. Limited. Inive a very large and exi)anding plant located here. In addition, there are over thirty plants manufacturing automobile |)arts and accessories in Windsor. .Also manufactured or processed here arc rolled steel products, including hriilge and structural steel by the Canadian Bridge Comi«any, Limited, steel products by the L. A. Young Industries of Canada, Limited, and steel |)rodncts of fourteen smaller plants. Another very important group of industries is manu¬ facturing chemical and allied products. ' Phirty-three plaitts are engaged in this work, many of which arc .American hranclics. They produce lirpiid chlorine and caustic soda, from inexhaustible mineral dci)osits under¬ lying the Windsor region, drugs and patent medicines, facti:ied in Windsor, and there are no oil refineries. The wood and i ulp paper |irodncts industry is assum¬ ing a greater relative un) ortanre each year, over thirty eonipanies now being engaged in this class of inann- factnring. These companies arc producing the follow¬ ing: Wooricn boxes, jraper boxes, corrugated paper, boxes and fillers, crates, builders ' supplies and lumiicr, |)lay- ing cards, brooms, caskets, wooden handles, and print¬ ing. While many of these companies are relatively small, a total of apiiroxiinately l.bOO cmirloyees are main¬ tained by them. What is known in Canada as the non-ferrous metal l ro hicts industry has 12 manufacturing representatives in Windsor, their production consisting of aluminum, brass ami copi)er pr» ilncts, clectricid aiiparatus and sup¬ plies, anil precious metal products. ' Phe textile industry has ten rciiresentatives, manu¬ facturing wearing api arel. mattresses and bedding, awnings and tents. hurla|) and cotton hags, and welts, gii ' ilis and bindings, for antomoliiles. ' Phis class of industry, while relatively small, is steadily developing. ' Pile final general classification of Canadian industry— the animal products division—has at present six rciirc- sentatives in Windsor, manufaeturing dairy products and sausages. In iidilition to the foregoing general classifictition into which Canadian industries are roughly divided, over a dozen other manufacturing companies are established in W ' indsor i roilucing miscellaneous products, such as artificial ice. rules and tapes, toilet articles, and |vaint s|)raying eipiipment. Despite the fact that the industrial life of Wind.sor is of comparatively recent development and the largest increase has been in the automotive trade, it will be noted from the foregoing that a wide range of com¬ modities is now manufactured. This is constantly being augnientcd. ,A total of 282 comiianies are in operation in W ' indsor at time of writing. Hmployment here has inertased more ra|)i«lly, during the (last few years, than in any ether city in Canada. I[ j Lassalinc. Windsor Chamber of Commerce.
