Thanks for the Business: K.C. Irving, Arthur Irving, and the story of Irving Oil
The allocation of attention may be excused, in part, by Savoie’s intention to write a book that takes the Irving family as an opportunity to explore the topic of business development, corporate management, and economic development in Atlantic Canada. The result?is made up of rambling, complimentary tales led by the story of the entrepreneurial Irvings: from the early scions arriving in Canada from Scotland, making their way to Bouctouche, N.B., to the founding of Irving Oil in 1924 by K.C.
