12 BRYAN'S REVIEW OF OAKVILLE A SUCCESSFUL INDUSTRY One of the most important of the manufacturing in­ dustries located in Oakville, and whose business operations extend from coast to coast is the Oak Tire and Rubber Company, Limited, manufacturers of the well-known Royal Oak Automobile Tires and Tubes. This company has been carrying on manufacturing operations since the fall of 1917, and has at present a capacity of 250 tires and 400 tubes per day. During the busy season this company employs up­ wards of 100 hands. The company's factory is constructed of solid brick and concrete, and is well laid out to facilitate ship­ ping operations, and is fully equipped with the best ma­ terials and labor-saving ma­ chinery, permitting of the production of the highest grade products. The factory and premi­ ses owned by the company include six and one-half acres of valuable land with railway siding privileges. The sales of the com­ pany's products have increased from $20,000.00 in 1917, to over $50,000.00 in 1922. Branches of this successful concern are located at Toronto , Montreal and Winnipeg. Closer acquaintance with the town and its people will draw people into it. With an increasing population, the tax-rate can be lowered. Then too, it means more busi­ ness for the merchants. With increasing business the mer­ chants can do better by you than formerly. Buy in your own home town and save money. If your town, for instance, hadn't a grocer, a butcher, a hardware dealer and other convenient businesses , it would­ n't be worth living in-would i t? Don 't grouch and don't knock the town ; boost it and keep on smiling. 1 I
