        History

        H. A. Nelson & Sons was a Montreal-based manufacturer and wholesale dealer of accessories and toys with a branch in Toronto. In 1841, Horatio Admiral Nelson (1816-1882), an American-born merchant, manufacturer, and political figure in Quebec, became co-owner of Nelson & Butters, manufacturers of brooms, brushes and other articles made from wood, e.g., toys, sleighs, picture frames, washboards, sporting goods, etc. In 1861, the company became Nelson, Wood & Co. and, in 1874, H. A. Nelson and Sons. The company was incorporated in 1896. A warehouse fire forced its closure in 1901.
