Chisholm Industries Ltd. manufactured radios, Hi-Fi sets, TVs and assorted electronic equipment. In November 1950 Edward Chisholm purchased 23 acres of land in Port Moody. The Port Moody facility was a huge state-of-the-art complex with a floor area of 56,000 square feet. This new location had excellent transportation access for road, water and rail. The Port Moody plant construction started in 1954 and was completed in Edward Chisholm did his best to produce and sell a high quality product. His plant went beyond that of most of his competitors. All metal chassis were cadmium plated before components were installed. The wooden cabinets were marketed as having the famous 'Moisture Barrier System'. This was a technique that involved heating the cabinet wood materials to reduce the moisture content before construction. Sales literature of the time claimed that this process reduced the possibility of cabinets warping in the 'west coast damp climate'. The Chisholm product-line was sold in many furniture retail outlets. These included Eatons, Hudsons Bay, Sears, Woodwards, Wosks, and many smaller family-owned furniture businesses. For the most part however, the Chisholm product was sold under the 'Chisholm' brand-name. In the early 1960's, colour television was becoming popular and the marketplace was very competitive. As Edward Chisholm was nearing retirement age and the cost of re-tooling for manufacturing colour television sets was enormous, he elected to close the business and retire. 2.
