Burgess battery company, in Fort Erie Ontario. They were done in by the union at the Ever-ready factory in Buffalo, across the river, who organized them and then went on strike to leap the wages to the Ever-ready level but the company simply waited three months on the strike and closed down as after that three months on strike the workers were deemed to have quit and ended up with no jobs as well as no severance.
They would get their old age security max of $586.xx as well as Canada Pension plan of 1,154.58 maximum (if they worked 40 years at the max pensionable wages - fee are half worker paid and half employee paid. If both husband and wife worked to the max they do very well with dual pension and dual CPP.
Everready purchased Burgess batterey name rights, clients etc at the auction and carried on making Burgess batteries for years - since consumer batteries all conform to rules on sizes, it is a simple sticker game to make them, and the technology is also the same as well as the volts etc.
