One-Stop Shopping. Last year Massey formed a jointly owned corporation with Kansas City's Butler Manufacturing Co.. a producer of farm buildings, storage and grain-handling equipment. For the new corporation M-F executives cherish vaulting ambitions. One day, they hope, it will offer the world's hungry emerging nations one-stop agricultural shopping in a kind of vast supermarket capable of supplying a farmer with all his needs: implements, farm buildings, seed, fertilizer and free expert advice.

— The Massey family sold most of its holdings in the company in 1926. Among Daniel's grandsons: Broadway Actor Raymond Massey and his half-brother Vincent Massey, Governor General of Canada from 1952 to 1959.
