Ont., is not apt to gain anything like an adequate con- ception of the volume of business trans- acted in the town. Looking along Pem- broke street, where most of the retail business is transacted, he is apt to be pursuaded that he is in a handsome and prosperous rural town in which the inhabitants are not in any particular hurry about anything and where all are rather well satisfied with the existing state of affairs, says the Pembroke "; There are smart and well stocked stores with fine assortments of goods and these seem to be well patronized, but they do not convey any fair idea of the great great volume of business with which Pembroke has to be credited annually. The real industries of the town are so scattered in different quarters that they do not intrude themselves upon the at- tention of the casual visitor. A Splendid Sawmill On the water front, near the C. P. R. sta- tion is the large mill of The Colonial Lumber Company, which takes an exceptionally promin- ent place among the great industries of the Ot- tawa Valley. On this site extensive lumbering operations have had their headquarters for up- ward of thirty years from the time when Messrs. A. & P. White were among the leading lumber firms doing busi- ness on the Upper Ottawa and its tributaries. Five years ago the original firm was bought by The Colonial Lumber Company of Pembroke, which is now composed of E. J. Chamberlain, President, who is also Vice-president and General Manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway; J. W. Smith, Vice-president; W. R. Beatty, Secretary., of Pembroke; G. E. Fauquier, Director, railway con- tractor
