223 pages. Signed and inscribed by author upon blank leaf following copyright page. Several black and white photographic plates including portrait of author and, at page 107, an amazing 1929 scene of many dozens of fedora-wearing investors crammed into Solloway, Mills & Company's Vancouver office engaged in what was surely frenetic stock trading. Mr. Solloway argues for a Canadian National Economic Council, a National Stock Exchange, and government control of large financial institutions. In the second part he uses his company, Solloway, Mills and its prosecutions to show that money used in Canadian investment and speculation creates Canadian employment, and that the mistakes of politicians can destroy industry, resulting in unemployment. One plate loose but present. Front free endpaper removed, resulting in the binding being open at that point. Above-average external wear. Binding brittle. A worthy copy of this fascinating work. Book

"The first five chapters of this book are a narrative glossary of carrier operations. In the pages that follow, recollections by shipmates have been interwoven to give an easy flow. The main commentary has been given over to her Captains, who were less compartmentalized than the average sailor, petty officer or officer. These senior people saw the overall picture and this book is essentially a Captains' chronology of Bonaventure... To those who served aboard Bonnie, I hope that this will be a scrapbook of nostalgia giving life to familiar and beloved circumstances. To those who remember only the name Bonaventure, these pages will provide an insight into an era and an expertise that is no longer a part of Canadian Naval life." - from Introduction to First Printing.

264 pages. Author's signature atop title page. "Our family story reads like none other. This Smith saga takes us from poor pioneers to feisty farmers; from Senators to Brigadiers; from local fruit processing to a national manufacturer to a growing North American family firm. When I realized our history included war, fire, the Great Depression, family dissension, bravery under attack, successes, failures, innovation and vision, I wanted to pass it all on to my children. Apart from the name Smith, the common thread throughout the generations has been jam. A guiet, friendly, unassuming product has been the mainstay of our business. It is the framework from which all the adventures stem, and they are considerable." - Author Unmarked. Moderate wear. Prior owner's business card affixed inside front cover. Abundantly illustrated in black and white. Book
