Pencils, eh
A virtual museum of the golden age of the Canadian pencil industry.
Stationery companies often gave out ink blotters which contain advertisements for products they sold. Some these advertisements are for pencils. I have shared some photos of ink blotters in the past. Below are three ink blotters from the Hay Stationery Company of London, Ontario. The Hay Stationery Company was at 331 Richmond Street in London, Ontario in the early 1950s. I found a postcard printed by the company from 1939. It appears that this company was around until the early 2000s when they closed.

Hi, Erick, your brother shared your site with me. I love the inkblot adverts. They remind me of the old Guinness adverts withe the toucan.
