11, 1909, p. 22.   [“store” refers to Robert Simpson Co.]

“Recently two clever young men of Toronto have conspired to write and to

picture the seven stages in the evolution of trade in Canada.  The two makers

of the handsome booklet [The evolution of Canadian commerce] containing

the pictures and short stories are Mr. C.W. Jefferys, the well-known black

and white artist—and occasional painter of oils and water-colours—and

Mr. Sid H. Howard, advertising manager for the Robert Simpson Company…”
