Business, Manufacturing and Trade
Following the Regina Cyclone the City underwent a period of reconstruction and expansion. Several well known businesses came to Regina during this phase of the City's history. In 1915 Robert Simpson established a Western Distributing Point for mail order in Regina. In that same year Imperial Oil began construction of its new oil refinery and distribution centre north of the City. In 1927 General Motors built a car manufacturing plant in Regina. During the Second World War expansion was halted with manufacturing in the City being redirected towards production for the war effort.
