What disease failed to accomplish, fire did. C B C - f ' R Before the holocaust subsided most of I-Iamilton's finest ,BJ P a ilfi' '- buildings were reduced to shapeless ruins.

By the time other papermakers elsewhere in Upper Canada were able to compete, a rejuvenated Hamilton was back once again on the road to greatness.
