| Fonctions : | It was made the Raymond Sewing Machine Company of Guelph established in 1862 by Charles Raymond from Massachusetts. After the first factory, a wooden structure built in 1861, was destroyed by fire in 1874, a brand new facility was completed in 1876 on Yarmouth Street, at the same location. The new plant was equipped with its own power plant and contained the offices of the Raymond Sewing Machine Co. A cupola was later added to the roof of the building, as well as a foundry on the west side. After Charles Raymond retired in 1897, the company was sold to a consortium of local businessmen and J.G. Scully, a former employee who continued to run the firm under the name of the Raymond Sewing Machine Co. In 1916, the company was sold to an American competitor, the White Sewing Machine Co. of Cleveland, Ohio; they, too, continued to operate the company in Guelph under the existing name. In 1922, all operations were pulled back to the United States and all Canadian assets were disposed of. The buildings on Yarmouth St. were leased and then later sold to Cooke and Denison, a local machinists shop. |
