Title
The Elements Combined: A History of The Steel Company of Canada
Abstract
The Steel Company of Canada (Stelco) was created in 1910 with the merger of five steel and iron firms: The Canada Screw Company and the Hamilton Steel and Iron Company in Hamilton, Ontario; The Montreal Rolling Mills; Dominion Wire Manufacturing Company of Lachine, Quebec; and the Canada Bolt and Nut Company of Swansea, Ontario. Through the Montreal Rollong Mills Company, Stelco can trace its roots back to the eighteenth century. Montreal Rolling Mills had acquired the Pillow-Hersey Manufacturing Company in 1903, seven years before the Stelco merger. And Pillow-Hersey was successor to the businesses of Mansfield Holland, founded in 1856, and the City Nail and Spike Works, founded in 1839 to carry on the business of a cut nail plant established in Montreal by John Bigelow some time in the 1790s. Montreal Rolling Mills Company had itself been organized in 1868 to take over the business of Morland, Watson & Company, founded in the 1850s.
