Fensom Elevator Works becomes the Otis-Fensom Elevator Company

The 25 March 1905 edition of the Globe announces that the Otis Elevator Company was now known as the Otis-Fensom Elevator Company. The American Otis Elevator Company had moved into Hamilton, Ontario in 1902, beginning several years of direct competition with the Fensom Elevator Company until they amalgamated.
