Administrative history
The charter for the Simister Company Limited was granted by the Province of Ontario on January 24, 1902 and its first general meeting of its shareholders was held on February 12, 1902 at the office of Robert Alexander Simister on Carnegie Street, Ingersoll. The business, which was located in a warehouse on the south side of Victoria Street, just west of Thames Street, and opposite the home of Adam Oliver, distributed eggs, produce and cheese for the surrounding district.
Robert Alexander Simister, passed away in 1922. However, it is unknown by Archives Staff when the business was dissolved.
