Hello! I’m researching public sentiment about anti-combines across Canada in the early 20th century. I’d be very interested in more archival information on Copas and Young, if you have it!
We’ll post more Copas & Young advertisements for your information.
We also sent you an email with some research suggestions. Hope that helps.
