Administrative history
The Farmers' Trading Company Ltd. was founded on 12 August 1908 at Waldegrave, Colchester County, N.S by three local farmers: D.E. Stevenson, James W. Bell and Wilbert Millard, all of Waldegrave. They were also made the provisional directors upon the company's founding. The company was founded to carry on the business of a storekeeper in all its functions, that is to buy, sell, manufacture, and deal in goods, chattels, wholesale and retail. Members of the company were permitted a thirty day credit at a rate of 1% interest for purchases at the store. The date of dissolution is unknown.
