Times Advocate, 1994-7-20, Page 26Page 26 Times -Advocate, July 20, 1994 Cook's host first appreciation day About 600 people including Bill Parrish and Herb Heimbecker • CENTRALIA - In 1880, Henry Cook purchased a flour mill in Hensall and 124 years later, it has become one of Canada's major processor and marketers of white and edible beans. Thursday afternoon nearly 600 people came to Centralia for Cook's first customer appreciation day. Inside the mill, and just a glance away from the company's new headquarters, the event included some special guests including Hank Kerch, the CEO of Cook's, along with Bill Parrish and Hcrb Heim- bec ker. Since 1988, Cook's has been a division of Parrish and Heimbeck- er, a company which began in 1908 by Parrish's grandfather and Heimbecker's uncle. "Cook's growth is continuing and we're proud to represent you and your products around the world," Kerch said to the large gathering which included farmers from Huron and Middlesex counties. "We've purchased the latest equipment to help us keep competitive," he added. Kerch said that Parrish and Heimbecker are, "two people who have listened to our dreams." Cook's has plants in Centralia, Hensall and Kirkton and the New - life Mills plant in Denfield is also a division of Parrish and Hein- becker. "It's nice to be down here. I'm enjoying the day and it's so nice to see so many people out," said Parrish who came from his office in Winnipeg. For Heimbecker, the day was also a bit of a reunion as he said, "I had the pleasure of meeting many friends I've met over the last 40 years." Cook's held their first customer appreciation day on Thurs- day and among the guests were, Bill Parrish, president of Parrish and Heinbecker; Bruce Lamont, manager of Cook's in Centralia, and Herb Heimbecker, CEO of Parrish and Heimbecker. • •o •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••° • • • 1PIOUNCINO • • • • • ••• • • •• •• • • Plant Paradise • • ••••• • • • A • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1 1 44 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • BL.OWO UT SALE of FINE QUALITY PLANTS While SuppiiSs Last. • • -• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • O°0F F ALL TREES & SHRUBS 6 inch C t,osa MOSQUITO Req '599 PLANT $w 99 • MINI BAGS Reg '9 99 NOW $6•99 HANGING BASKETS Req '12 99 4,nch • •••• $8 99 NOW ■ BOX PLANTS NOW. 59 FLOWERING BAGS eq 14 99 NOW $0 99 ■ GORGEOUS PLANTERS i Req 999 to '24 99 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • • • • 20 Fifth Ave 482-3969 Vanastra ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Now $6 99to 4 4.99 • tte9 1 75 GERANIUMS NOW ■ 99 R,w SPAGNUM MOSS 4500 BASKETS NOW $ 29.99 PLUS MANY MORE SPECIALS Plant Paradise • Imperials aiming for 'A' playoffs.
