"Massey Manufacturing Co., 1847-91
Founded in 1847 by Daniel Massey (1798-1856) at Bond Head, the company, known as the Newcastle Foundry and Machine Manufactory Co. after it moved to Newcastle in 1849, grew rapidly under the management of his son, Hart (1823-96), who assumed control in 1855. They acquired several successful and efficient American designs such as the Ketchum grass mower and Massey combined hand rake reaper mower. As well, growth came through quality materials, workmanship and sales ability. Hart Massey incorporated the Massey Manufacturing Co. in 1870 and relocated to Toronto in 1879. By 1890, the company was the largest Canadian farm implement manufacturer, winning international fame and sales. Through the work of his hands and the vision that compelled him, Hart Massey provided a model of service and success that the company followed with vigor and dedication, e.g. by developing foreign outlets in the 1880's. By 1891, with both Massey and Harris companies competing in the harvester market, a merger was effected that enabled Massey-Harris to become international."
