Merger
Completed
The final arrangement
between J. B. Jackson, Ltd., and J. E. Johnson and Brothers of
Simcoe, was ratified last week.
The amalgamation gives much
required siding accommodation for the part of the business
heretofore managed by Mr. Johnson. A huge one-story receiving and
shipping shed will now be built immediately north of the Johnson
store house.
The co-operative Joint Stock
company has sold private stock to the value of about $10,000 since
its inception There is probably $100,000 in the new amalgamation.
Mr. Johnson will continue as
secretary-treasurer and general manager for the co-operative
concern, and for the Fruit Growers' Association.
The staff in the Jackson
company's end of the business will remain the same, and the egg
storage, butter storage, and stock buying will continue as before.
