Si la compagnie possède déjà des liens avec la Charles Robin and Company, c'est à la suite de la faillite de la Banque de Jersey (1886) que les deux entreprises vont officiellement fusionner.
The "John and Elias Collas and Company" set up in Pointe-St-Pierre in the 1850s. During the second half of the nineteenth century the Collas also extended their activities to the North Shore (Moisie and Sheldrake) and to Anticosti Island.
If the company already had links with Charles Robin and Company, it is after the Bank of Jersey went bankrupt (1886) that the two companies would officially merge.
