Lincoln Foundry was started by my grandfather ( Arthur Elmer Coleman)before WW11 to manufacture cast Iron plumbing pipe. Many of the two bedroom bungalows built for returning veterans had his pipe in their homes. There was a huge building boom after the war of these homes in the Niagara Peninsula and Toronto, pipe was very scarce at the time due to lack of materials.My mother left high school in grade 11 to work in the office fielding the calls from contractors begging for pipe so they could complete their projects. My grandfather built 37 Bellevue Gardens in St Catharines for my mother as a Wedding gift, Lincoln Foundry pipe was used in that home.
My grandfather pass away in the late 50’s, one of his sons (Earl Coleman) of 36 Belton Blvd took over running the business. Things were changing and cheaper terracotta pipe with faster manufacturing times gave builders higher profits and a faster turnaround.
Thank you for the information. AV.
