Kincardine

Malcolm furniture was used in many Canadian Hotels and one Jamaican Hotel.

Mosquito Bomber parts kept the company very busy during World War II. Over 300 people were employed in this work. Following the war the company returned to making furniture.

Difficulty in securing workers forced the company to close in 1973.
