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
Unpaginated. Circa 1988. Includes black and white illustrations. "As you read these stories you will join Eunice in the celebration of a special family occasion, the appreciation of places and happenings in the Orillia area, the spirit of adventure as she hunts rocks in the rain or goes whale watching on the St. Lawrence River, and the all-too-familiar agony of choosing a new car. You will experience with her the changing glories of the seasons, the joys - and one sudden heartbreak - of grandparenting, the morning eagerness of setting forth on new ventures and the quiet pleasure of arriving home at the end of the day. Woven into this tapestry of one person's life are threads and patterns that are common to us all... perhaps you will find their colours glowing just a little brighter as you look at them through Eunice Streeter's eyes." - Dorothy Stripp. Moderate wear.
