factured manilla, news and felt paper, 

 respectively. Only one of them is in 

 existence to-day. It is the flourishing 

 property known as the Don Valley 

 Paper Mills. 



The establishment of the third mill in 

 Upper Canada, in 1853, is notable for 

 the fact that it marked the entrance of 

 •the Barber family into the paper indus- 

 try, a connection which has lasted for 

 more than half a century. This mill is 

 standing- in the same spot to-day, and is 

 the Georgetown mill owned by the Pro- 

 dncial Paper Mills, Ltd. In 1858 a se- 

 cond paper machine was installed. It 

 was supposed to be a marvel in effi- 

 ciency. A story is told that when James 

 Barber, who had charge of the paper- 

 making end of the business, was inform- 

 ed that the new machine was running 100 

 feet a minute, he was so astonished that 

 he would not be convinced until he had 

 timed it with his own watch. It does 

 not need much imagination to picture 

 the growth of the industry when one 

 contrasts this with the speed of to-day's 

 machines, some of which run at a rate of 

 from 600 to 1,000 feet a minute.

The Riordon Beinnings. 



Established in 1857, ten years before 

 Confederation, the Riordon Pulp and 

 Paper Company, Ltd.. forms an inter- 

 esting chapter in the history of paper- 

 making in Canada. It was in this year 

 that John Riordon commenced business 

 in Brantford, Ontario, as a trader in 

 paper. In 1863 he took his brother 

 Charles into partnership when they com- 

 menced the making of wrapping paper 

 at Lock 5, on the old Welland Canal at 

 St. Catharines, Ontario. The mill ca-^ 

 pacity at that time was l]^ tons per day.
