About Us
Jackman’s Inc. has been in business since 1930, starting the Coal and Firewood Business as Jackman Coal & Coke Company by Glenn Jackman, in Bristol. His sons later came into business with him: Fred in 1946 and Glenn Jr. in 1950. Four of Glenn’s sons went into the heating business: Fred and Glenn in Bristol and later Charles and Ralph in Vergennes, after the “Thomas Mack Coal Co.” was purchased in Vergennes, and became Jackman Fuels, Inc. in 1938. In 1947, fuel oil was added to the products sold along with L.P. Gas in later years. In 1967, coal was no longer sold.
