The splendid water power on the Cornwall Canal and the inexhaustible supply of pure clear water led the promoters of the Toronto Paper Company to establish their mills at Cornwall in 1883. Since then the premises have been enlarged to more than treble their initial capacity, and the plant now includes three machines, with an output of 20 to 25 tons daily. Fine books, writings, lithograph and colored papers are made, and in the finer grades of linen ledger and bond papers the quality produced is equal to the best English and American. In the manufacturing of paper, a large quantity of wood pulp is used, and this is principally made on the premises, in a mill specially erected for the purpose, though some is imported from abroad. The rags which enter into the fibre are brought from all parts of the world, and some ingenious processes are employed to convert the cast-off clothing of the universe into the pure white sheet of commerce. Contrary to the general rule the Toronto Paper Company asked no favors from town or township, and has run continuously since it first started unless closed down for lack of water; it pays liberally, has little or no trouble with its employees, and is in every way a most desirable industry for any community. The president of the Company, who has held office continuously since its inception, is John R. Barber, Georgetown. The superintendent is Forbes Wood and W. J. Wallace is local manager.
