In 1891 the building in which you are at present was built andequipped as a generating station to meet the rapidly increasingdemand for incandescent lights. In 1892 the first electric motor circuit was established. In 1893 the evident extensive field available in Montreal for theapplication of electric current directed the attention of the com-pany to the utilization of waler power.

From a beginning in 1884, with a dynamo of 12 light capacity,a work room containing a few ordinary machines, shop tools, adozen employees, and a capital of less than $50,000, it has stead-ily and continuously progressed, so that to-day its generatingplants provide electric current for street lights, house lights andmotive power to the equivalent of 100,000 16 candle power in-candescent lamps, with capacity for 50,000 more ; its factory isequipped with the latest and most modern machinery ofbuilding the largest electrical machinery used in the world, and isnow actually at work manufacturing generators of each nearly3000 horse power capacity ; has nearly 500 employees and pos-sesses plan
