Top- notch as we know it to-day became active with the purchase of Mil- verton Milling Company in 1945. This, the original branch was operated until 1948' when it was destroyed by a fire. The opera- tion was re-built and became the first retail feed mill in the com- pany. ' 'The second branch became reality in 1949 with the purchase of Kerr,Milling Company, Dun- das, Ontario, Originally, this•was one of the oldest flour fettle in Ontario and was converted to a retail feed mill. '.Also during 1949 a rental agreement was consumated between 'P -motet and Purity Feed Mill in King- ston and ,thus became the third outlet, . 4 1n 1950. a modern mill was constructed at Stratford and was complete with show rooms and custom mixing equipment. 'In 1953, with the purchase of the Excellence Flour Mills in, Seaforth, the company took a major step forward in COrn- mencing 'manufacturing feed under the Topnotch label. This later became the location fur the company's Head Office, 'Nineteen-fifty-four saw the purchase . of King Calcium Limi- ted Mill at Moffat, Ontario, and in 1958 this Mill 'was destroyed by fire and was completely rebuilt as a modern compact feed mill operation. 'Nineteen-fifty-seven saw the. company's • purchase of Hunt Bros. Feed Mill at Dorchester, Ontario, and in 1960 the purclrise Of Adanis'Feed Mill at" Beussels, Ontario. 'In 1963, the company launched into • a new area just north of Wroxeter and a modern high corn- pacity feed mill was erected this site. iNineteea-sixty-four was a significant year, in that it put Topnotch Feeds Limited into the cash crop business on a large scale with the purchase of Mid- lake Elevators Limited which had locations •at St. Thomas, Dutton, Springfield, Tilbury and port Stanley. 'In 1966, the company relo- cated at Kingston into a new feed mill and retail outlet more cOn-' veniently located to the farming community on the north side of Classified' 24.

As a mat- ter of interest. the company just moved into their new Head Of- fice building last fall in Winnipeg. It has thirty-six stories and is the highest huildine in Western Canada today. The Richardson building as it is known, is a part of Lombard Place, which is also owned by the company and will have a hotel, Bank et canada building., theatre and wider- sround shopping' complex now wi- der construction.

There are actually • three 'separate divisions in Sea-" forth: The retail division, the manufacturing division and the Head Office..

A new hatchery has been in operation for about 11 months. It has, capacity to hatch 30,000 ehicks or 15,000 pullet chicks 2 times per week. For the benefit of., the urban Lions, Mr. Scott ex- plained that a pullet is a young female chicken. At full capacity we could hatch over one million pullet chicks per . year..At present we are hatching close to 1/2 million" per year. The laying hen population of On- tario is about 9 million, so we are supplying about 5% of Ontario's layers... Allout 1/4 of the chicks are sold as day-old 'Chicks.'

In these pullet growing contracts, the Pul- let. grower supplies the building, utilities and labour for which he is' paid 24 per pullet peg week. We supply the day-91a chicks arid the ,feed or, alternatively, the. feed is financed by a feed com- pany. -- 5. We are also involved in a few eggl, contracts in cage houses in the area. Currently, we have a 50-0 interest in about 33,000 hens iii 5 cage houses. , Referring to egg costs, Mr. Seott-,pointed out that egg con tracts bring up an interesting point on the costing of a dozen eggs.

During 1969 Gay Lea pro- ducts entered the 'Food away from home' market In Toronto since, as some of you may know, in the edies to-day four out of ten meals are eaten outside the home.
