Notes - Royal & Percy File Works, corner North and North Water Streets - The manufacture of files is an important branch of mechanical industry, it requiring skillful workmanship to produce a good file. The business conducted by Messrs. Royal & Percy has been established for the past 13 years by Mr. Royal, and has been under the present firm title for the past three years. At the present time the firm are compelled to refuse orders, having more on hand than they can conveniently fill. This shows that the work turned out by them is of a superior quality, and satisfactory in every respect. The premises occupied by them are 20x40 feet in dimensions and one story in height, where employment is furnished to seven skilled workmen. They manufacture all kinds of files by hand, thus ensuring a greater degree of perfection than would be otherwise the case. They make mill saws, round and square, flat and warding, mill double-cut and mill pointing, shoe rasps, horse rasps, etc. Mr. Royal, the senior partner, has worked at this trade nearly forty years in the leading manufactories of Canada and the United States, and personally supervises every article turned out of the works. The trade of the firm extends throughout the entire Dominion, and is constantly and steadily increasing. Mr. Royal is a native of the United States, and Mr. Percy is a Canadian by birth. Both are active, energetic and persevering business men, and are deserving of the success their untiring efforts and ability are bringing them.
