| Commentaires : | Belanger stoves were manufactured by the company Belanger & Proulx Ltd based in Montgomery, Quebec. The company was founded by Amable Belanger (Sept 8, 1846-Sept 22, 1919), who was an iron founder and manufacturer originally from Saint-Pierre-de-la-Riviere-Sud. Belanger moved his operations to Montgomery in 1872. His business continued to prosper, becoming the second largest employer in Montgomery in 1892-93. In 1907, management of the company was transferred to his son, who died during a medical operation in 1913. After his sons death Amable Belanger sold his company to a group of businessmen from Montgomery on February 17, 1914. Now known as A. Belanger Limitee the company continued to prosper manufacturing and selling stoves and agricultural implements throughout Quebec and in the Maritimes. The company was still in operations in 1941. The Canadian Neon-Ray Clock Company was in operations from circa 1940 until the mid-1960s, and based out of Montreal. Their main product was the Bulb Illuminated advertising clocks. The advertisement was painted on the glass face of the clock. According to the Canadian Clock Museum, the President of company was Walter Pam and the Canadian Neon-Ray Clock Company may have a connection to the Pam Clock Company located in Brooklyn and New Rochelle, New York. These clocks were a popular form of advertising and promoted a wide range of products from soft drinks to motor oil. The clock uses a simple electric motor to turn the hands and 15 watt light bulbs illuminate the face. |
