Research Facts
Canada’s first corn starch manufacturing industry, the Canada Starch Works, was founded in 1858 at Edwardsburg, Ontario, which was renamed Cardinal in 1880. In 1865, the firm was incorporated as the Edwardsburg Starch Company. Then in January, 1906, the Edwardsburg Starch Company was reorganized and renamed, the Canada Starch Company, Limited.
Beginning in the mid-1930’s, the Canada Starch Company and its chief rival, the St. Lawrence Starch Company of Port Credit, Ontario had established full-fledged Advertising Departments to promote the sale of their respective corn starch and corn syrup products. In addition to newspaper and magazine advertisements, both companies featured their products through samples, recipe booklets, store display materials, cooking schools, exhibitions and network radio programs. Both companies were very aware of the advertising methods being employed by their rival and the advertising campaigns were blatantly similar.
