Canada. Northwest Nitro-Chemicals Ltd., 1955 Specimen 5.5% Subordinate Bond, VF. $500 Specimen 5 1/2% Subordinate Income Debenture. Printed by ABNC. Northwest Nitro Chemical Ltd., the first phosphate fertilizer manufacturer on the prairies, began their initial planning stages for the erection of a local chemical plant in 1950. A site, on the Box Springs Road in the Brier Park Industrial area, northwest of the city centre, was selected in 1954. A ground breaking ceremony was held in 1955, and would lead to the building of a $22 million facility. Production of fertilizer began in October of 1956, and reached a capacity of 150 tons per day. Northwest also employed between 235 and 350 workers. Northwest Nitro was sold to Western Co-Operative Fertilizers who continued manufacturing fertilizer until 1987. In about 1990, the plant closed down leaving many of its employees without a job.
