My name is John Corsell and the Plowman Company in Garden City Long Island was purchased from Howard and Marion Plowman by my grandfather John F. Fischer. He worked for the Plowman's for 25 years prior to purchasing it. He past away in the early 60's. It was then run by my grandmother until the late 1970's when it was transfered to my father Robert Corsell (who worked for my grandmother as long as I can remember). My parents ran it until their death in 1979 and 1980. It was then sold to Petroline as I was only 14 and my brother was 16 at the time.
If anyone is looking for information I would be willing to share my memories (yes I actually ran the canning machines) or try to find out from my brother or my aunt in NC. We are the only remaining family members. We do have some items from the company but are always interested in more.
