History
James William Baker (1877-1936) and Handley Wilcox Loomer (1867-1939) appear to have become business partners about 1920. In 1926 they purchased the cooperage business of George Dexter Payzant (1846-1947) of Falmouth, Nova Scotia. Baker and Loomer continued to operate for a further ten years, until Baker's death, manufacturing lumber, staves, headings and barrels predominantly for fruit transfer and storage. Thereafter, the business was known as the H. Loomer Mill which continued to operate until 31 October 1940.
