The firm of Simons, Shuttleworth, and French Company, Inc., was one of the first to specialize in exporting apples from the Pacific Northwest to England and the European continent.
The company was organized under the laws of the State of New York in 1907 and formally incorporated in 1908. The company was the successor to two earlier produce firms, the Wagner M. French Company and the Simons Shuttleworth Company. The newly merged firm was owned by Simon and Company, Ltd., of Southampton, and Simon, Shuttleworth, and Company of Liverpool, both in England. North American offices were in Montreal, Canada, as well as New York. Wayne French, secretary–treasurer of the merged firm, was also the treasurer of the International Apple Shippers Association.
In July 1930, the company changed its name to just Simon and French Company, Inc., with offices, packing and shipping facilities, and buying stations throughout the American West, including those in Yakima, Seattle, Medford, Portland, and Sacramento. Supplies of fruit were purchased directly from the growers, packed on the company’s own packing lines, and transported by the company to the markets in Europe as well as the Far East. During the 1930s, almost one–third of the Northwest apple crop was exported to Europe through such important parts of the distribution chain as Simon and French, Inc. This firm remained in business until 1947, when it was consolidated with the F.M. Small Company of Sacramento.
