O'Keefe and Drew
O'Keefe and Drew was a meat packer and pork retailer based in Chatham, Ontario.[1]
History
The company was founded by Joseph T. O'Keefe and Thomas A. Drew.[1]
The packing plant was east of the city, where Grand Trunk and Pere Marquette railways met.[1] The retail operation was at #53 King Street West, between John Hales' butcher shop and Bright's Opera House; it would later house Percy Parliament's clothing store.[1]
The packing plant was later taken over by the Darling Company, which used it to render tallow; Darling closed in the 1970s.[1]
The partners would later help found the Chatham Motor Car Company.[1]
