From the record
Summary
Status: CLOSED. Royal Commission on Customs and Excise evidence states this company was incorporated in June 1925 and carried on business in Moose Jaw. The 1934 federal Brewing Industry directory lists Moose Jaw Brewing Company Limited at Home Street & 10th Avenue. CCBA label chronology places this legal/name phase in 1925-1929 and again 1933-1936. The mechanism linking it to the 1906 Moose Jaw Brewing & Malting company and the 1929-1933 American Brewing phase remains unresolved. [Canada Pass 26]
