The Lord & Burnham Co. 



About two years ago, the LORD & BURN- 

 HAM COMPANY of New York decided to 

 open an office in Canada, There were sev- 

 eral reasons for this: 



Canada was expanding rapidly in all direc- 

 tions and as a natural result of her pros- 

 perity, as in the United States, the prosper- 

 ous business man and florists began to want 

 the best Greenhouse that could be built. 

 This led Canadians to place their orders 

 with the LORD & BURNHAM COMPANY, 

 who for over fifty years have been the fore- 

 most Greenhouse Builders in the world. 



The LORD & BURNHAM COMPANY 

 have found that better and quicker service 

 could be given to their customers by the 

 establishment of a number of Sales Offices, 

 situated at convenient points. Following 

 out this policy, an office was opened In To- 

 ronto. The success attending the opening 

 of this office, led the Company to organize 

 a Company under the laws of Canada, and 

 they immediately began to look for a site 

 for building a factory. 



The Company were anxious to manu- 

 facture in Canada for the following reasons: 



FIRST: Because they could sell their 

 goods at a lower price. 



SECONDLY: They could give quicker 

 and better service by so doing. 



THIRDLY: They wanted to be identified 

 with Canada and be a Canadian Company 

 as far as possible. 



To this end, they put their Canadian busi- 

 ness in the hands of a Canadian, Mr. David 

 Warwick, who was born and brought up in 

 Toronto. Mr. Warwick ha.s had over fifteen 

 years experience in the Greenhouse busi- 

 ness, and most of that time has been con- 

 nected with the Lord & Burnham Com- 

 panies of New York and Illinois. 



When the Company erected a factory near 

 Chicago, Mr. Warwick was put in charge, 

 and has seen the business grow so that the 

 factory had to be doubled in size. 



After visiting and investigating over twenty 

 cities and towns, St. Catharines was finally 

 selected as the place to build a factory. St. 

 Catharines offered better facilities as to 

 sewers, water power, homes for work- 

 men, railroad facilities, etc., than many 

 other places. Also it had the advantage of 

 being In the Buffalo freight rate zone— a 

 very important, economical consideration 

 Then too, the various other manufacturing 

 concerns already located there, gave the 

 city a strong, all around recommendation. 



After the site of some sixteen acres was 

 purchased, steps were immediately taken 

 to start work on a factory. About one year 

 ago, building operations were commenced 

 and to-day the machines are running swiftly, 

 turning out the material for over fifteen 

 greenhouses already contracted for. 



The factory is pronounced the best built 

 factory in Canada. It is strictly fireproof; 

 all on one level, one story high. The frame- 

 work of the building is steel, with brick 

 walls. The walls are simply to keep the 

 weather out, as in no case do the walls 

 support the framework. The buildings are 

 what is known as saw-tooth style. The 

 north slips are of all glass, which makes 

 every foot of floor space as light as pos- 

 sible. A machine can be placed at any 

 point and work carried on at one point as 

 well as at another. 



A branch of the Grand Trunk Railway 

 enters the property, and on the property 

 two tracks are laid: one on the north side 

 for incoming freight and one on the south 

 side for outgoing .«ihipments. The Welland 

 Canal almost touches one end of their pro- 

 perty, and taking it all in all the site is an 

 ideal one for manufacturing purposes. 



The parent Company in the United States 

 has been established for over fifty years and
