That is a great question as many companies in the late 20's and earlier 30's bought out thier competition. I will be doing so more research work over the summer, maybe I will find this out.

Here are a few of the Canadian Companies that got bought out in this time frame.

Lowney's bought out Cowan Chocolate in 1926.

Ernest G. Robinson bought out Patterson's Chocolates Toronto (not to be confused with William Paterson chocolate of Brantford)....
(Funny: Ernest G. Robinson who started working for Neilson's in 1907 and left in 1912 to start Willard's Chocolate in 1913)

Dominion Chocolate went bankrupt in 1930 and their equipment was sold off. Seemed like they owed some back taxes.

Just some interesting stuff that happened in the great white north.
