SynopsisThis authoratative history of the enterprising and innovative men who built the private grain trade opens in the newly incorporated City of Winnipeg. It discusses the early bartering of wheat for merchandise and the first shipments to the east; the multi-company mergers that began in the 1920s and 1930s when the rise of the wheat pools presented a serious challenge to established companies; and it continues with accounts of the dominant families in the trade today.
