Administrative history
Dan Mackenzie owned a ranch/farm in the Bingville area north of Medicine Hat, now a part of the Suffield Defence Research Base. In 1941, the land was expropriated by the federal government for research and defence purposes. It was after the notice of expropriation that Dan purchased the Medicine Hat Ice Company from Earl Cooper.
The business prospered during the war years, as few electric or gas refrigerators were made. By 1952, business had declined significantly as the manufacturing of refrigerator appliances caught up to the demand. Dan issues his last receipt on September 17, 1952.
