Share to bearer of 100 francs issued in Marseilles in 1912. Cancelled.

Verminck was a large industrial company created in Marseille in 1845 by Charles-Auguste Verminck (portrait on the share).

Manufacturer of soap and edible (groundnut) and industrial oils, with counters in Senegal, factories in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast and Nigeria, Ets Verminck had 5 factories, a cooperage and a glass factory. The company had 1100 employees in 1916 and was a winner of the 1889 World's Fair Grand Prix.

The Verminck Establishments change their name when the Compagnie du Sénégal et de la Côte occidentale d'Afrique is founded in 1881.

The company sells its assets as early as 1884 to the United African Company.

The company soon has an inheritance with CFAO (Compagnie Française de l'Afrique Occidentale), founded in 1887 by the ship owner Frédéric Bohn, who maintained during his first decades a specialty in the food and consumer goods trade.
