WARNOCK & CO: FOUNDED IN 1857

WARNOCK & CO WAS FOUNDED BY JAMES WARNOCK A SCOTTISH IMMIGRANT WHO CAME TO CANADA IN 1833 WITH HIS PARENTS AND SIBLING AND SETTLED IN GALT, ONTARIO. HE OWNED NUMEROUS BUSINESSES INCLUDING THE GALT EDGE TOOL CO., (ALSO CALLED THE GALT AXE CO.) AND THE GALT AXE FACTORY. IN 1860, WARNOCK BOUGHT A HARDWARE STORE WHERE HE SOLD THE PRODUCTS OF VARIOUS MANUFACURERS. IN 1870, WARNOCK TOOK OVER THE GALT AXE FACTORY, GALT EDGE TOOL AND CARRIAGE SPRING WORKS. THE BUSINESSES WERE ALL RENAMED JAMES WARNOCK & CO. THE DISPARITY IN NAMES CAUSED SOME CONFUSION, BUT IT ALLOWED THE COMPANY TO DIVERSIFY. MANY OF THE AXES MARKETED AT THAT TIME WERE MARKED J. WARNOCK & CO BY 1902, POSSIBLY EARLIER. OWN THIS UNIQUE PIECE OF CANADIAN HISTORY - PRIVATE COLLECTIONS AND MUSEUMS ALIKE WILL WANT THIS REMINDER OF ONTARIO’S RICH HISTORY
