iconic hunters' cap since 1934. Originally a textile
headwear manufacturer for the farming trade, today
Crown Cap ships two million hats around the globe
every year. They have a showroom in New York
City, are stocked at Macy's, Lord and Taylor and
Bloomingdales, and have created a line for Polo

In 2012, Winnipeg
brothers Chris and
Lawrence Warwaruk,
owners of Luxalune
Gastropub, launched
Canada's first-ever estate
brewery, The Farmery
Estate Brewery. The brothers grow hops
and barley on their Neepawa-area farm
to brew and sell inside their Winnipeg
restaurant.
* In 1931, Ralph Erwin opened the first
restaurant to sell burgers in Manitoba.
Not liking the name "hamburger," he
named his a "Nip." More than 75 years
later, Salisbury House ("Sals" as it is
known locally) is again Winnipeg owned
by a group of business partners that
includes rock legend Burton Cummings.
