Cane's factory.

Since the snow came the sleigh-loads of saw-logs and pail timber arriving at the factory average over 50 loads a day. Besides this some eight or ten cars of pail timber have come in from the north this week.

The firm has just secured the contract of furnishing all the material for the inside finish of a large and beautiful residence for J. A. McSloy, Esq., at St. Catharines, in the following kinds of woods; quarter cut white oak, quarter cut red oak, quarter cut sycamore, cherry, birch, red curley birch, butternut and Georgia pine. The work consists of doors and door frames, casings, base, paneled wainscoting with ornamental cornices and door heads, staircases, arch and partition grilles and parquetry flooring, the designs for all of which are entirely new and elaborate, and were prepared by their foreman, Mr. W. Bunney. The work will reflect great credit on all concerned. It was originally intended by the proprietor to get the whole of this work from Buffalo, it being thought that the class or work could not be done in Canada, but after examining work done by the Newmarket firm at Toronto, Niagara and Merriton, the proprietor came to the conclusion that Messrs. Cane & Sons Co. could do the work equal to any other firm and consequently awarded them the contract. The reputation of our factory for this class of work stands A1, and they have every facility for larger output. We hope to see their trade extend to all parts of Canada.
