I believe my Grandfather worked there. He was involved in an explosion where 1 person died, my grandfather was injured. Apparently there is a plaque about it with his name on it. I'm trying to get a picture of it for my father. I believe it happened in 1940Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15094484435339663588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-18475506143177132222018-02-19T19:29:54.445-05:002018-02-19T19:29:54.445-05:00Thank you!

I still have a box of them, from my father, the same box as the one in your pictures. They make repairs easy on items like leather belts. I wondered what happened of this company, so thanks for the story. It's sad to see all these canadian companies being gobbled by bigger ones just to be shut down later on. Gee perhaps I'll make a stop at Gananoque to see that inn.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239085493874762505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-46747844751766768932013-01-06T18:43:28.215-05:002013-01-06T18:43:28.215-05:00My Great Grandfather worked there.
