NATIONAL TICKET

Anon. “National Ticket Celebrates 100 Years,” Canadian Vending & Office Coffee Service Magazine, Jan.Feb. 2007, Vol.54, No.1, p.40. This family firm celebrated 100 years of operation in 2007. This is the introduction to the article cited:
National Ticket Celebrates 100 Years

“This year, National Ticket Company of Shamokin, PA is celebrating its 100th anniversary as a global provider of ticketing and admission products to various markets, including the entertainment, sports and amusement industries in over 70 countries. This year, National Ticket Company of Shamokin, PA is celebrating its 100th anniversary as a global provider of ticketing and admission products to various markets, including the entertainment, sports and amusement industries in over 70 countries.

Brothers Alphonsus E., William A. and John J. Conway along with local clothing merchant Nicholas R. Ludes founded the company in 1907 in Shamokin. The four were equal partners in the company and today the Conway and Ludes families each hold 50 per cent of the company stock.

“As a family run business, reaching the 100 year mark is a very rare accomplishment, reaching this milestone has to be credited to our dedicated family of employees and loyal customer base,” said John Conway, director of administration/secretary and grandson of founder Alphonsus E. Conway. “As we head into our second century of business we are more focused on providing new, innovative and quality products to our customers.”

National Ticket Company is now one of the largest ticket producers in the world and credits the dedication of its management team and employees with making the company a stable part of the local economy since the early 1900s.”

Unlike the other entries, "New England Breweries" is not a company name. We are using it as a convention here to direct you to breweries in New Jersey. There are brief historical sketches of many of them found in the book mentioned above. Since the entries are short, it was felt that they did not merit separate entries in this bibliography. Here are some of the breweries listed in Chapter V, "Early Brewers and Breweries of New Jersey": John Thompson's Brewery; A Burlington Brewhouse; Bordentown Brewery; The High Street Brewery, Newark; Mount Holly Brewery; Trenton Brewery; Union Brewery, Passaic;
The Hackettstown Brewey and Peter Hauck & Company, Hoboken. Other brewers are mentioned and the profiles are usually less than one page. At the conclusion of the chapter, it is noted that a list of all breweries in the United States is found in the following book which we have in our collection: Beer, Its History and Its Economic Value as a National Beverage, by F.W. Salem.

NEWFOUNDLAND MARGARINE COMPANY

In July 2003, Unilever Canada announced that the company would close its St. John's Newfoundland margarine plant. Given the significance of the company, it was felt that the information about the loss of this Canadian business should be recorded. An early story about the closure is found here: "Newfoundland Margarine plant in St. John's to close next March," The Canadian Press, 12:11, 23 July 2003. Excerpts from a more complete account of the company are posted below:
"Closing of margarine plant marks end of era: Newfoundland nostalgia: Lucrative business built in a colony rich in seal, whale oil, Richard Foot, National Post, 5 August 2003

"HALIFAX - When food giant Unilever Canada spread word last month it was shutting down its St. John's margarine plant, only a solitary sentence in its announcement hinted that the closure will bring an end to a historic Newfoundland icon, with its own special place in Canada's Constitution...

Established in 1925 as the Newfoundland Butter Company by the Crosbie family," Unilever said, "the St. John's margarine facility was purchased by Unilever in 1937...

In 1949 the business earned its special status in the Terms of Union, and soon after changed its name to the Newfoundland Margarine Company...

Canada now had its first margarine maker, a lucrative business with more than 150 workers. And although St. John's margarine couldn't be exported to other provinces, it wasn't long after Newfoundland joined Canada that the national dairy rules were changed and Unilever began making margarine in the rest of the country...

The international food giant now says the St. John's plant and its 17 workers are too small a concern to be maintained in a world of large-scale, centralized manufacturing. After making margarine for almost eight decades, and introducing the product into Canada, Newfoundland will now get its margarine shipped out from Unilever plants in Ontario...

"Everybody hates to see our old companies disappear," says Mr. Crosbie, "but time marches on."

"John Northway, founder of Northway & Sons Company, was a young and well-established English tailor. He left his native Devonshire, England home after serving a seven-year apprenticeship, for which he received no payment. He spent some time inNew York before moving to Embro, Ontario. It was here that he married and managed to save $100 dollars, which he invested in a business that would bear his distinctive "Northway Shapekeeping Garments" adage. In 1875, Northway opened his first shop, located in Tillsonburg. His business prospered, and Northway opened other branches in various commercial centres. In 1903,he opened a store on Yonge Street in Toronto. The original two-storey establishment was torn down and replaced with a larger facility, standing an imposing 8-storeys high...."

The company was acquired in 1990 by Saint-Gobain, but the Norton name was retained.
“"For 125 years, Norton has been a vital part of the city of Worcester. While the company has evolved from a nineteenth century pottery shop to become a world leader in abrasives and high-performance materials, we have never forgotten where we came from, or the city that made it possible. This is also a wonderful opportunity to spotlight the many contributions associated with the Norton name in the abrasives, ceramics and plastics businesses throughout the world, and of course for thousands of employees associated with the company and brand over the past 125 years."

NUWAY KITCHENS

Short, Harvey. Looking Through My Father’s Eyes
From the publisher:

Harvey Short: visionary, entrepreneur, family man. His story begins in Hant’s Harbour, Trinity Bay during the Great Depression. Many families experienced trial, hardship, and poverty in the dirty thirties. But the people of outport Newfoundland persevered, through love of family and friends, and strength of will.
Moderate financial success was the fruit of Harvey Short’s labour in mainland Canada. He travelled the world over in his youth, but Newfoundland is where he found the answer to his prayers. Upon returning to Newfoundland, he gave life to Nu-Way Kitchens, a dream inspired by his outport childhood that travelled with him over the years.

In 2010 the following historical information is available on the NuWay website:
“NuWay Kitchens Limited was founded in 1967 by Harvey Short Sr. It was a modest start, but already the company direction’s was in place: to build durable, artistic, custom-made factory kitchens that would stand the test of time.  It wasn’t long before demand grew for this exceptional product with service to match. The first plant was opened in 1970, with continual growth throughout the 70s and 80s leading to seven additions to the original plant. Always one step ahead, NuWay acquired the latest technology to ensure they provided superior results that exceeded expectations. In 1989 a new facility was constructed in Paradise, Newfoundland, containing the corporate offices, a large showroom and manufacturing plant. From this location, NuWay was even better equipped to deliver an outstanding product, even more efficiently. In 1990, NuWay began a new venture, Horizon Laminates Ltd., a manufacturer of rolled edge counter tops. This enabled NuWay to become an end-to-end operation and to ensure a consistent level of quality through all components of their cabinetry. True to their mission to stay on the cutting edge of technology, Horizon Laminates Ltd. was the first plant of its kind in Newfoundland. Whether for a new home or renovation, NuWay Kitchens provides a total kitchen package. It’s an excellent investment in both the value and enjoyment of your home. NuWay Kitchens Ltd. distributes throughout Newfoundland & Labrador and Atlantic Canada. “
