Talk:United Distillers

There was a Canadian company of this name before the war. Its products often appear in stories written in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Maybe a new article? Some info from a Vancouver, B.C. website:

“This is the remarkable story of UDL, Vancouver; a once mighty distiller of spirits that has nearly completely vanished from the visual history of our city. I haven't yet determined the precise date that United Distillers Limited was established in Vancouver, but according to Wrigley's BC Telephone directory, United Distillers Ltd. first appeared at 8900 Shaughnessy Street in 1927. This is significant, as it falls directly in the middle of American prohibition (1920-1933). United Distillers Ltd. of Vancouver was a publicly traded company, but it also had American roots. The early beginnings of UDL in America are equally elusive to track down, but it seems to me that Hyman Harvey Klein was the successful liquor dealer who founded UDL in Baltimore some time prior to American prohibition.”
