CCM plant pre-1917

When CCM was formed in 1899, one of the companies involved in the original merger was the Canadian division of the H.A Lozier Co., based in Cleveland, Ohio and makers of the well-known Cleveland bicycle.

From the beginning the CCM directors had decided that production of the three Toronto companies involved in the merger (Gendron + Massey-Harris + Lozier) would be concentrated in one plant and that plant would be the Lozier plant on Weston Road in what was then known as West Toronto Junction.

Below are two illustrations of that particular plant sent along by Larry Healey of Campbellford. The top one is a sketch from a 1910 company catalogue and the one below is a photograph used courtesy of Jack Gordon, Newcastle, ON.

Very few visuals of this particular plant still exist. Thanks to Larry for sharing these ones.
