Glass Factory, Wallaceburg, Ontario, Canada, circa 1910

By the early 1890s, the lumber industry around Wallaceburg, Ontario, Canada was in decline. Local businessmen believed glass manufacturing would revive the area's failing economy. They formed the Sydenham Glass Company (later Dominion Glass Company Limited), built a factory and by 1895 produced their first glass product. The factory burned in 1901, but investors rebuilt. Their new glassworks is shown in this postcard.
