PROVINCIAL INVESTMENTS

Like all the other old mercantile houses in St. John's, Harvey and Company have been vitally interested in Newfoundland's traditional basic industry - the fisheries. The whaling business in Newfoundland, prosecuted by fast steam boats and operated at the start by skilled Norwegian craftsmen who instructed Newfoundland fishermen in the art, was originated by Harvey and Company and was later followed by other firms in this country... In 1953, Harvey & Company Limited entered into agreements with various equipment manufacturers to become their Newfoundland distributors. The firm opened a branch in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and, in the following year established a similar branch in St. John's, Newfoundland. Following the establishment of these two branches, a third branch was set up in Grand Falls, Newfoundland.
