The Estate James Davidson, Ottawa, Ont., operate an important and extensive plant for the manufacture of sash, doors, mouldings, boxes, box shooks, portable houses, interior trim, etc. The plant as it stands to-day was completed in 1905. It has never been taxed to its capacity, but could easily turn out, in the door department, 500 doors per day; in the sash department, 500 pairs of sash per day; in the box department a car load of box shooks and possibly 1,700 to 2,000 finished boxes; also matched lumber, such as flooring and clipped boards, at the rate of 80,000 feet per day. In the same pro- portion the plant could turn out frames and general house trim. Four acres of ground are occupied by the factory and warehouse buildings, including lumber and stock sheds. The plant faces the tracks of the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Railways, giving ample opportuni- ties for unloading and loading of cars. The mill is 300 x 200 feet, with an "L" 75 x 20 feet. The dry- houses are 75 x 100 feet. One of the lumber sheds is 22 x 400 feet, and the moulding building is a double shed 80 x 200 feet. The dry kiln has a capacity of 100,000 feet, installed by Sheldons, Limited, Gait, Ont. The doors of the kiln open directly into the factory. From the kiln the lumber passes through a No. 90 new Berlin fast-feed double surfacing machine. From this machine the stock passes on to other machines, including planers, rip saws, resaws, cut-off saws, etc. Main Corridor—Estate James Davidson, Ottawa, Ont.
