The inauguration of Machine No. 3 also marked the start of operations at the Mont-Rolland mill, which at the time was run by the Compagnie des Moulins du Nord (North River Mills), founded by Stanislas Rolland.

Every employee was invited to the event. Seated to the right of centre are Damien and Stanislas Rolland, both sporting white beards.
