In response to Jersey 2448, that found a Beatty wringer washer in New Brunswick, that was made in Fergus Ontario, here are some pictures of the factory. Its a pretty nice building. My great uncle worked there and I just found out my mom's cousin did the payroll. She was in a more 'genteel' office space up on St. Andrew street. She didn't have to 'muck in' with the rough factory workers or uncle Charlie.

Beatty Brothers
This mural was done by a local artist here in Harriston. He painted himself as the young boy being brought into the house of refuge.When entered, you only used the front door once. After that only the back door to the barns or when they carried you out. A funeral was the undertaker and the vicar coming to get you. No family allowed and you were buried in the poor house cemetary.

"House of Refuge and Industry"
English translation (well at least across the pond in England/UK) would have been work house. By any name or translation the idea seemed to be the same.
This was the "you can help yourself but don't take too much" idea of charity. *LOL* Yes, we will provide a roof over your head,food and so forth but nothing in this life is free and thus you are expected to earn your keep here. Still suppose this place was better than being on the streets. Sad they didn't at least try to teach skills so the younger persons could go back out in the world and be self reliant. | ||
