Burns and Company, a meat packing house, and by 1918 it was one of Canada's largest meat packing companies. The company owned ranches, slaughterhouses, and wholesale and retail outlets across Canada. By 1928 P. Burns and Co. had expanded into the dairy industry, the produce trade, and developed an overseas meat packing business.
