[edit] Merge? NO!
Borden, Inc., was not the same company as Borden Food Corporation. It was the parent company of Borden Food Corporation. Borden, Inc. had many subsidiaries, of which Borden Food Corp. was only one. From 1929 onward, Borden Food Corp.'s history is different from Borden, Inc. Merging the articles would be similar to saying that Nabisco should be merged into Kohlberg Kravis Roberts because KKR once owned it. Or that Kraft Foods should be merged with Altria. Additionally, Borden Milk Products is only a licensee of the trademarks and names. It was never owned by Borden, Inc. Dean Foods also licenses the Borden Milk name and trademarks, but would not be merged here. - Tim1965 20:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I concur with Tim 1965. Not only was Borden Food a subsidiary of Borden, Inc., the two have different histories and particularly different dates and terms of dissolution. My late father-in-law was an executive of Borden Foods for decades and would turn over in his grave if a major information source like Wikipedia confused one with the other.

[edit] Do Not Merge
As stated above, Borden Foods was a subsidiary of Borden, Inc. If anything, Borden Foods should be merged into the Borden, Inc. article.Truthdoc2 (talk) 19:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
