Trying to compile a story on the Gordon, Ironside, Fares firm of livestock shippers that was federally chartered in 1901. Its operations included meat packing in Moose Jaw and yards in St. Boniface, Lakehead and Montreal from where it exported live cattle to Birlinhead (Liverpool). Have not found documents showing the windup of Gordon, Ironside, Fares, which seems to have occurred gradually after the disastrous winter of 1906-07. Brand records show it had holdings across the West. Any readers who have information, please write: T.R. Smith, Box 83, Pathlow, Sask. S0K 3B0.
