Robertson Bros., Machine Shop
[Souvenir of the Town of Welland, Issued August 22, 1902 by the Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle, Publishers]
One of the finest equipped machine shops in this section is that of the Robertson Bros., located on Aqueduct Street, on the west bank of the canal, and which has been in existence under its present management for nearly a quarter of a century, though it has been improved upon from time to time until at present no finer plant for the equipping of contractor’s plants or the manufacture of machinist’s tools of all description exists. In addition thereto, the Messrs Robertson manufacture hot air furnaces for heating purposes, and are prepared to manufacture castings for mill or railroad purposes, as also to do mill or general machine repairing of all kind at short notice, and in a satisfactory manner, both as regards workmanship and price. The plant comprises a two-story building 55×35, the lower story being fitted up as a machine shop, and equipped with all the necessary machinery and tools of modern type, the upper story being used as a pattern shop. Adjoining the machine shop is a well equipped foundry building, 60×35. Operating power is furnished by a 15 h.p. engine and employment given to from 15 to 20 hands and altogether it is a potent factor in the industrial enterprises of Welland.
