Fensom Elevator Works employs 125 men

According to the 13 October 1900 edition of the Globe, in 1895 the Fensom Elevator Works employed 80 men in Toronto, while in 1900 that number had grown to 125.
It appears that westward expansion was fuelling the growth in Fensom’s business. By this time Fensom had expanded his factory facilities, and was making business contacts in South Africa and Australia.
