Christie, Brown Company

Christie, Brown Company

Christie, Brown Company was a subsidiary of the National Biscuit Company which was based in Toronto, Ontario in the early 1930s. The firm's primary plant in Toronto covered 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2). The business opened a $1,000,000 biscuit factory in Winnipeg, Manitoba, a region of spring wheat, in February 1932.[1]

George Morrow and his brother Frederick K. Morrow owned the Christie, Brown Company. In October 1934 the brothers also had controlling interest in the Gold Dust Corporation, the American Linseed Company, the Standard Milling Company, the Ward Baking Company, United Cigar Stores Limited, and United Stores, Inc.[2]

The no par common stock of the Christie, Brown Company was removed from the list on the New York Stock Exchange in March 1932.[3]
