William Davies Company
William Davies Company was a pork processing and packing company in Toronto, Canada. At one time, it was the largest pork packer in the British Empire, and it operated Canada's first major chain of food stores.〔(Points of Interest Along Lost Streams: Toronto Pork Packing Plant ).

==Founding of the company==
William Davies, born in 1831 in Wallingford, England, emigrated to Canada in 1854, and soon thereafter set up a stall in Toronto's St. Lawrence Market, where he sold cured hams and bacon. Realizing that there was an opportunity to export Canadian pork products to England, he wrote to his brother in 1860 stating: "I think you will say that the quality of the meat I send is as good as you ever saw."〔
Davies rented a facility at Front and Frederick Streets, a few blocks east of St. Lawrence Market, and was able to purchase and expand the plant in 1875. Soon, he was shipping millions of pounds annually of salt-cured pork. The William Davies building at 145 Front Street East, later occupied by the J. & J. Safeworks, still stands today.〔(Points of Interest Along Lost Streams: Davies/Taylor Site - 145 Front Street East ). ''Lostrivers.ca''. The Toronto Green Community and the Toronto Field Naturalists.
