ENGLISH VERSION
"John and Elias Collas and Company" is said to have installed in Pointe-St-Pierre in the 1850s. During the second half of the 19th century the Collas also extended their activities on the North Shore (Moisie and Sheldrake) and to the Anticosti Island. Even though the company already had some connections with Charles Robin and Company, it was after the Bank of Jersey went bankrupt in 1886 that the two companies would officially merge.
A cape of the Rivière-Saint-Jean bears the name of "Pointe Robin."
