About This Item
[Toronto]: A.H. Correl & Co. Propr's, Toronto Lith. Co., 1880. Pictorial broadside, oblong, 5.75" x 17". Beautiful full color lithograph advertisement featuring an elaborate scene of the "climax" engine expelling steam and hooked up to a thresher with several men working, an "economizer" engine sitting idle to the left, a background of several trees and hills, a small cottage, and a lake with a sailboat upon it. Near Fine.
Robert Whitelaw [1827-1920], a native of Scotland, opened the first foundry of the Whitelaw Company in 1856 in a town west of Woodstock, Ontario. He later moved the foundry to Woodstock, was a busy businessman, and active in community affairs. In 1874, the town offered Mr. Whitelaw $8,000 to assist his planned expansion of the company; if the business remained in Woodstock for eight more years, the loan would be canceled. In addition to agricultural machinery such as steam engines and threshers, his factory made sawing machines, cheese making machines, castings and fire hydrants. Some time after the expansion, the Company became known as Whitelaw's Oxford Foundry and Engine Works.
