Established in 1902, the Cornwall Furniture Company has been a success from the start and is now one of the leading industries of the town.
      The buildings are of brick, covering a considerable area, and the capacity of the works has been nearly doubled in four years. The goods manufactured are principally bedroom and dining-room furniture, tables being a specialty.
      At first the Company made principally medium grades of furniture, in which they were most successful, but of late they have turned out some beautiful specimens of Mission and Weathered Oak Furniture, which is now so fashionable, and the elegance of design and excellent workmanship of the Cornwall ware has brought it into immediate favor with the trade and the public.
      The Factory is equipped with the most modern machinery and new appliances are constantly being added. It is situated at the head of Sidney Street, adjoining the Grand Trunk Station, from which a siding runs into the premises, all goods being loaded under cover. It is very convenient for shipping and goods can be forwarded by the G.T.R., N.Y.C., and C.P.R. and by water during the season of navigation.
      The peculiar advantages of Cornwall as a shipping point have attracted the special attention of furniture men, and there are now in course of erection here a chair factory and a factory for the manufacture of brass and iron beds, springs and mattresses, both of which it is expected, will be in full operation by the New Year. This will enable carloads of furniture to be shipped, which will be of decided benefit to all three. In the near future Cornwall will be one of the foremost furniture manufacturing points in the Dominion.
      There are at present about 80 hands on the pay roll, whose wages aggregate over $30,000 per annum, and besides this an equal amount is paid out in the immediate neighborhood for raw material.
      The officers of the Company are: T. S. Aspinall, Cornwall, President; Jas. R. Wilder, Montreal, First Vice President; R. J. Pitts, Cornwall, Second Vice President; A. Edwards, Cornwall, Secretary-Treasurer.
