This Winnipeg-based company was established in August 1906 as a Canadian subsidiary of the Peavey Elevator Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota. It began building country elevators at stations of the Canadian Northern Railway in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. In June 1940, the firm merged with the Northern Elevator Company and National Elevator Company, both of which were owned by Peavey, to form a single administrative entity known as the National Grain Company.
