People/Subject
Brackman-Ker Milling & Feed Store
Brackman-Ker operated in many BC communities, including a location on the north side of Fraser Highway at Innes Corner that opened in 1917. For many years it was a local landmark, as the grain elevator was one of the tallest buildings in the area. The store provided residents with a variety of feed, the most popular being a dairy mix and a laying mix for poultry. Brackman-Ker was for years a competitor for Buckerfields, but was ultimately absorbed by the other company. The old office, warehouse and elevator tower on Fraser Highway were demolished in 1954.
