Englishman, William Crichton, which builds men-of-war and
other steamers; the Åbo Iron Manufacturing Company,
which makes railway cars, mowing-machines,
and reapers; the Dahlsbruk Company, with the largest
rolling-mill in the country, whose speciality is
ironwork for ships; the Mathildedal Company, which
makes thrashing and other agricultural machines;
and Messrs. W. Rosenlew & Co. in Björneborg, who
own a great shipyard and mechanical workshops, and
build steamers. In the province of Tavastehus we
find the Tammerfors Linen and Iron Manufacturing

pulp machines, &c. In the province of Viborg we
have Gallén’s mechanical workshop and shipyard, and
the Karhula engineering workshop at the eastern
mouth of the Kymmene River, whose speciality is
agricultural machines. In the province of St. Michel
are the great iron-works of Paul Wahl & Co. at
Varkaus on the Saima Lake, where a river runs down
