Film of Norman Schneider, in his capacity of Senior Vice-President of J.M. Schneider, Inc. being interviewed regarding the company's 75th anniversary. The discussion includes an overview of how the company began, including J.M. Schneider's early years and employment in the local button industry before beginning to make and sell sausage door to door. Reference is made to employees owning 45% of shares in the company and being members of an unaffiliated, independent union certified by the Ontario Labour Board. The company is noted as being the 4th largest meat packing company in Canada, operating out of one main plant on Courtland Avenue and paying $100,000 a year in municipal taxes. Most of the meat, at that time, came from 75-100 miles of the plant with expenditures on livestock averaging $30 million per year. Schneider shares that during the winter months approximately 1450 people work at the plant increasing to more than 1500 during busier times of the year, which may include summer students to cover staff vacations. The host and Schneider discuss a centennial project at Doon Pioneer Village for which the company built a butcher shop, before concluding with a discussion about control of the company and plans for possible expansion in the area.
