The American Newcomen, through the years, has been priviledged to honor numerous important industrial organizations both in the United States of America and in Canada, as well as the memories of their founders, whose vision, couage, initiative, ceaseless effort, and abiding Faith have contributed in the abundant measure to the progress of their countries and other countries. Such a Newcomen manuscript is this, dealing with the life and work of Frank Harris Anson (1859-1923) and with the beginnings and growth and development of Abitibi Power & Paper Company, Limited, an internationally-known industrial organization which is the lengthened shadow of that great Canadian pioneer. What is written in the following pages constitutes a veritable "Philosophy of Hard Work". It is a message needed in this day and age!

This Newcomen Address, dealing with the life and work of Frank Harris Anson (1859-1923) and with the history of Abitibi Power & Paper Company, Ltd., was delivered at the "1952 Canadian Dinner" of the Newcomen Society of England, held in Ballroom of The Royal York, at Toronto, Province of Ontario, Canada, when Mr. Ambridge, was the guest of honor, on October 9, 1952.
