Press Release: 09/02/10
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Seeing a great opportunity to increase shipping in and out of the Independent State of Caledon, the East Zindra Co. established a new Corporate Headquarters on the waterfront in Port Caledon. The new “Wytchwood Building” is a four story marvel of Victorian Technology, complete with airship mooring on the roof and a steam driven elevator and modern power systems.
In part of the land deal, the Company purchased controlling interest in the Old Caledon Water Works in Port Caledon. The Company will continue supplying Caledon with clean, fresh, and Cavorite free drinking water. The large grounds around the pumping and treatment facility will double as a cargo storage area for the Company’s maritime mercantile business in Port Caledon.
In addition, the Company very quietly acquired the Caledon Fire Brigade for an undisclosed amount. Sources say DaveDorm Gaffer, the Chief of the Caledon Fire Brigade and Minister of Trade for the Company will continue to manage the Brigade.
The Brigade and the utility are now wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. There are some citizenz abuzz with concerns that two important public utilities in Caledon have been absorbed by a multinational company. Caledon’s Guvnah Desmond Shang was unavailable for comment.
