History

The Primrose Brothers was a firm in Pictou, Nova Scotia. Founded by James Primrose (1803-1882), it was involved in insurance, lumber, shipbuilding, coal mines, and the Marine Railroad Company. The other senior members of the firm were James’ sons Clarence Primrose (1830-1902) and Howard Primrose (1833-1906). Howard, who was deaf, wrote the annual report of the Marine Railroad Company, and he also attended to the firm’s correspondence and business related to the Customs House. In 1864, William Norman Rudolph (1835-1886) became a partner in the firm, and they became known as Primrose & Rudolph.
