    Notes:

    Victoria Wheel Co., Main Street - Well may Galt be called the Manchester of Canada, for, considering the population, there are more and varied industries carried on here than any other town or city of its size in the Dominion. The business is more steady, and the mechanics as a rule own their own houses, which gives them a greater interest in the welfare of the town. Among the most prominent manufacturing industries in the town is that of the Victoria Wheel Company, which is located at the head of Main Street. This business has been established over 25 years, being commenced in a comparatively small way, and steadily expanded during the passing years. In 1866 the present Company succeeded Smith & McMillan, and since that time the business has made rapid strides forward. The premises cover about three-quarters of an acre of ground, the main building being a three-story stone structure fitted up with all the most improved and perfected machinery for this class of work. Employment is furnished for fifty skilled workmen on an average throughout the year. The Company manufactures all kinds of carriage and buggy wheels, shafts, plough handles, and articles of similar nature, which find a market throughout Ontario and the other Provinces. The work done by this Company is noted for the superior quality of the material used and the finish and excellence of workmanship displayed. The machinery is run by a 100 horse power engine, having a 140-horse power boiler. Mr. John Perry is the manager, and is a gentleman well qualified for the position. He is a native of Canada, of Scottish descent, and is a thoroughgoing and enterprising business man. Robert Scott, the chief member of the firm, is a native of Galt, and has been connected with it for fourteen years. He is also the present Mayor of Galt.
