Manitoba Business: Lacour & Schioler

This Winnipeg-based company established by Pierre Lacour and Knud Birch Schioler was responsible for construction projects around Manitoba in the 1920s, after which it appears that Lacour moved to Europe while Schioler started a financial and insurance business.
