Episode 17
This week hosts Julie Miller and François Roy are talking about industry - about a few specific industries in particular. Did you know that 3 generations of the Bradley family operated a business in Red Mill, a hamlet near what is now Cap de la Madeleine, and that they produced red ochre powder for Canada Paint, and other companies, for almost a hundred years? And you’ve seen the name Whitehead on street signs in Trois Rivières, but who was Charles Ross Whitehead? And the question to ask about him, is what business was he NOT involved in? As is their habit, François and Julie take a few detours to discuss related issues, This is our Red Paint and White Linens edition: that’s Red Mill Paint, and White Wabasso Linens.
