    Notes:

    [EFA4.FTW]

    E.B. Eddy was born in Bristol, Vermont in 1827 and came to Hull at the age of twenty-four. He arrived with his wife and with very little money. Eddy rented the upper floor of Ruggle Wright's old smithy. Using the "buttings" from discarded pine stubs from the Chaudiere Mills, Eddy and his wife worked through the night manufacturing and hand dipping the wood to make matches. Eddy began selling his matches door to door but soon his reputation boosted his sales to places as far away as Toronto. Using the profits from these early sales, Eddy purchased machinery to automate the manufacturing process.


    In 1855, Eddy expanded his operations to the manufacturing of lumber, and two years later, the production of wooden pails, clothes pegs and corrugated washboards. Eddy bought timber limits on the Upper Ottawa River to use in his mill. In 1870, a match factory was built on an island owned by the Wrights at the Chaudiere. The factory produced nearly a million matches a day.


    Five years later, Eddy was the largest match manufacturer in the British Empire until a fire destroyed his mills. Far from giving up, he built a pulp mill in 1888 and converted from the huge grinders that cut the logs to using a chemical process in the production of the pulp. The pulp he produced was of excellent quality and was sold to customers in the United States. Later, he branched out into the production of fine paper.


    By 1900, Eddy was free of debt and all his enterprises were making money. Due to high insurance costs, he decided to cancel his premiums in 1899. Within a year a fire ravaged everything he owned and he suffered damages in the range of three million dollars. Immediately after the fire, Eddy attained loans that enabled him to rebuild. He managed to repay most of the loans by the time of his death.


    E.B. Eddy died on 1906. The E.B. Eddy Company continued to prosper after his death. In 1927, the match factory was sold to a British corporation and in 1943, Williard Garfield Weston, a Canadian, bought the control interest of E.B. Eddy from Viscount Bennett. The E.B. Eddy Company acquired J.R. Booth's fine paper mill after World War II and in 1959 Weston bought out the shares of the company creating George Weston Limited. The sulphate mill and fourty-four acres of nearby property were bought by the National Capital Commission in 1972 to be used as public parkland. The Commission also purchased the Portage Bridge.


    E.B. Eddy Company was one of the largest employers in Hull and Ottawa for over one hundred years. Eddy was influential in the area and served six terms as mayor of Hull as well as ten years as an alderman. Today the E.B. Eddy name can be seen on products from fine papers to White Swan toilet tissue.
