Ottawa Car Company

Its plant was located at Kent and Slater Streets (south side of Slater between Kent and Lyon Streets - now site of Constitution Square), a short distance from Parliament Hill.

The company was a subsidiary of Ottawa Electric Railway, in turn controlled by Ahearn & Soper.

The Ahearn family retained control of the company until 1948 when they sold Ottawa Car & Aircraft Corporation (renamed during World War II) to the Mailman Corporation.

[2] The new owners never carried on the business and ceased operations as streetcars were being abandoned by cities across North America.

On 19 August 1994 Canada Post issued 88¢ stamps featuring Ottawa Car Company Streetcar, 1894, Saint John Railway Co.
