An unedited
transcription of a page 1 profile from 26 Sep 1901 Simcoe Reformer.
J. B.
Jackson
Is
one of Simcoe's leading business men, doing the largest coal, coal oil,
and building material trade in the county. Coal, best quality, at
the most reasonable price. His stock is large. His coal oil is
stored in large tanks from which it is barreled and sold to the retail
trade. His plant is extensive, and the oil the best obtainable,
without any leakage. Mr. Jackson is also one of Canada's largest egg
exporters, with a large pickling and cold storage plant, to which he is
building an addition, which will be one of the largest in Ontario. This will make Simcoe one of the best egg markets in
Ontario. Farmers can obtain top prices for eggs at his warehouse. He is also
connected with Ross & Scott, the largest grain and hog buyers in
Ontario, whose reputation stands high for square dealing and high prices. Headquarters for salt and all kinds of cements, which he
sells cheaper than any firm in the county. In no case is quality
sacrificed for price. Try him and prove it.
