E. B. Eddy Company

Marie, Ontario, Delta, British Columbia and Port Huron, Michigan.

Eddy had begun business in 1854 making and selling wooden matches out of his home in Hull, Canada East (now Quebec).

On April 26, 1900, a large fire destroyed most of the company's facilities, but it was back in operation in less than a year.

In the 1950s, Diamond Match sold its shares to the public in Canada by listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

J. Alex Lawrason became President and CEO in June 1969 in Toronto, Ontario.
