From the record
Summary
Status: HISTORICAL / PREDECESSOR — exact legal succession NOT YET source-locked. Address: 154 North Algoma Street, Port Arthur, ON. University of Toronto's Canadian beer-label collection inventory source-locks a Superior Brewing and Malting Co. identity in Port Arthur (1 item). Local heritage history identifies Conrad Gehl and the 154 Algoma Street North site from 1867 under the wording 'Superior Brewing Malt Co.'; Upper Country gives a conflicting 1876 plant-lineage date. Preserve name/date variation and do not collapse the legal transition into Port Arthur Beverage without stronger corporate/directories evidence. [Canada Pass 123]
