McClary Manufacturing Company
The McClary Mfg. Co., is an institution which we think can be truthfully called one hundred per cent Canadian. In the year 1847 John McClary began his apprenticeship as a tinsmith in a small tinshop in what is now the city of London, Ont., being then 18 years of age and without experience or ability of any kind. Three years later he associated himself with his brother Oliver and began business under the firm of J. & O. McClary. Tinware was of course their line. In those days there were no railroads and for that matter few roads of any kind which were of use for more than a portion of the year. The population was also very sparse, and the demand for tinware insufficient for a very large business and as a consequence plows were added to their line, the castings being brought from a small foundry which was located in London.
