Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Caldwell Linen Mills : Caldwell Linen Mills Limited was a family business established by H.H. Caldwell in 1923. Located in Iroquois, Ontario, the firm was one of the pioneers in linen manufacturing in Canada. The company initially manufactured fine table linens, then in 1941, expanded its mills for the production of terry towels and other cotton goods complimentary to the linen business.

Dominion Textile began buying substantial blocks of Caldwell Linen shares in 1949, but did not acquire the company until 1956. Dominion Textile initially operated Caldwell as a subsidiary company, later absorbing operations into the Caldwell Division of Dominion Textile. The original Caldwell mill was expropriated to make way for the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the 1950s. A new plant was built nearby in 1956. The mill continued to operate into the 1990s.
