We used to make things in this country #381; Cast iron kettles

 


Here's a cast iron kettle made by the Terreau and Racine company of St. Paul St., Quebec City, a maker of kitchen kettles and other containers. 
 Charles Terreau arrived from France and started his foundry in 1850, originally making metal fittings for sailing ships. When he passed away 15 years later, his wife continued the business, adding Mr. Racine as president. In the mid 1920s they started making components for refrigeration systems. In 1987 they merged with another company, becoming TR LC Refrigeration and Ventilation.  More at Cast Iron Canada.
