Context
The Nova Scotia Carriage and Motor Car Co., Ltd. was established in 1912 by brothers John W. and Daniel C. McKay. It was created to manufacture and sell automobiles and horse-drawn carriages. The McKay car was the first production car in Nova Scotia. After establishing the company in Kentville, N.S., the brothers began constructing a second factory in Amherst. Daniel moved to Amherst to oversee the new factory after its completion in January 1913, while John stayed in Kentville to keep its factory functioning. In September 1914, the company ceased production of all automobiles. This was due to their lack of employees and low funds caused by the start of the first World War.
