Historical Note In 1926, a group of investors organized the Red Lodge Canning Company in Red Lodge, Montana, and hired M.H. Mann as the manager. He became president of the company, and later the largest stockholder. His son, Blaine W. Mann, took over management of the company after M.H. retired. The company operated canneries in Red Lodge and in Stevensville, Montana. Products canned included corn, peas, and beans from the Red Lodge and Stevensville, Montana areas. The company operated a beer distribution division, sometimes identified as Rocky Mountain Distributing Company, 1

2 from 1950 to This division held distribution contracts with several brewing companies, local and national, for Carbon and Stillwater counties in Montana. Content Description This collection contains Red Lodge Canning Company correspondence, financial, legal, organizational, promotional, photographic records as well as documents from the Rocky Mountain Distributing Company, a beer distribution division of the larger company. Aside from three folders of internal correspondence with the Stevensville operation and an extensive photographic sequence, all materials in this collection address the Red Lodge and Stevensville operations as one unit.
