Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Main industry: Workers wheelbarrow grain at T. Wilson and Sons mill. Once a thriving mill town of 2,000 people, Whitevale was virtually wiped out by fire in the 1880s and the Wilson factory, which employs 15 people, is the only remaining mill as well as the main industry in the community. It was built in 1932 and is the third mill to occupy the site.
