Description
The Cupey Sugar Company was originally established as a Connecticut corporation in 1915 to control the Cupey mill in the Oriente province of Cuba. With Thomas A. Howell (later president of the company) a member of the Howell family who controlled the West India Sugar Finance Corporation was already onboard. In 1922 it became part of the newly formed Sugar Estates of Oriente - a subsidiary of the Cuban Dominican Sugar Corporation (successor to West India Sugar Finance Corp.). The mill itself seems to no longer have existed by 1938.
Typical bond certificate - but with no reference to sugar - instead showing the Connecticut coat of arms. Stamped “Specimen”, punchholes.
