The brothers had arrived in 1885 to work for Minor Cooper Keith, who was building a railroad from Limon to San Jose, but quickly went into business as merchants, bankers and banana planters.

[7][8]In 1911, the Lindo Brothers, in partnership with Felipe Alvarado, purchased the Compañía Luz Eléctrica de San Jose, Heredia y Alajuela and invested in a large hydroelectric power plant in Belén the next year.

[12] By 1913, the Lindo brothers were owners of vast sugar, coffee and cocoa estates, lumber and flour mills, breweries, ice-making and aerated factories.

The company began by purchasing properties along north coast of the island to plant bananas in conjunction with their cousins, the deLisser Brothers.

[15] International distribution deals were made on behalf of the company with Schieffelin & Co. of New York and EA de Pass & Co. of London.

[16]In 1925 the Lindo Bros & Co., in partnership with Allan Keeling, invested £1,000,000 in the establishment of the Bernard Lodge Central Sugar Factory.

In 1928, the Lindo Bros sold 56,600 acres of land in Jamaica to the United Fruit Company for £2,000,000, which at the time, was the largest transaction in the history of the island.

[25] The family lived at Cecilio Lodge, now St Andrew High School while constructing Royston, now Campion College, Jamaica.
