History
J.P. Milliner and Company was situated at the "sign of the Broad Axe", Dickson's Block on Princess Street, Kingston, Ontario. Manufacturers of axes, blacksmiths' and carpenters' tools, and butchers' cleavers, J.P. Milliner also had a substantial contract with the Provincial Penitentiary, supplying tools for convict labour. The company imported many of their raw materials from the United States and England, manufactured their goods in Kingston and exported their finished products to customers in Ontario, Quebec and the U.S.A.. Much of their work was made to order and the company seems to have maintained a high standard of quality. The Kingston Directories show no entry for J.P. Milliner and Company after 1860; therefore it is assumed that the company changed location or went out of business at this point despite the fact that the company seems to have enjoyed a well-established reputation and to have prospered within the community and the colonies.
