I was thinking dairy or small canning plant. It would stand in well as a jam/jelly plant.

It's great fun with the pun names, I used them myself for years, stuff like the Miracle Chair,   Boye Iyme Board Co., Tinf Oil, etc.    It gets old.   Real ones that odd (and they do exist) are a little more fun.   

Yeah I should have known better than to ask around these parts  :D

Chris, how about "J. E. Peavey Mercantile".  Looks like a fabric maker shop.  Water for dyeing fabric and enough rool for looms.  Could make interesting dock loads, barrels, burlap, fabric rolls, etc.  Repair shop in the shed on the end, offices in the smaller space between the factory and the shed.

FTW! folks.

Of course, I've been looking for a way for several years to use the alternate Sokramiketes name (Microsockmeat - thanks Lee) in a railroad name.

Chris, what is the product that you envision this company manufacturing?  Perhaps that would help in determining the company name.

I was sort of looking for the vision, I'm not very creative.

The layout is set in the 1940's and is a fictional shortline. I like the Ma & Pa.

I do really like the tool & die co.

I've always liked Batesville Casket Company.  It's believable, because it's the name of a real company; it offers an industry that could receive lumber or cloth shipments in box cars or, for the more morose, stiffs in reefers; I like the slight Hitchcock reference, esp. if you changed it to just Bates Casket...; and it's convenient if your town is named Batesville.  There is the copyright infringement issue, but that's pretty bereft of life.

One of these days my friend & I  are going to do the "Lazarus Casket Factory".
Even got a motto, "So comfy, you wont want to come back!"

It looks to me like Orchard Warehouse and Processing.
Some kind of bulk food/ feed distributor.
