Graffiti Part II
Graffiti I focused on bookstore "this is mine" stamps. Here we'll look at graffiti of a more personal nature on two Wm. Collins Sons & Co. Canada Ltd and one Harlequin Books publications. The last one is of personal interest as the writing is my father's. The car he wanted "to get more from" was a 1949 Studebaker. The "CPR" is the Canadian Pacific Railroad's station in Sudbury, Ontario.

Wolfe's Bookstore - Sudbury, Ontario
In a previous post I showed the stamp for Wolfe's Bookstore on an old Harlequin Books paperback.
Wolfe's was a bookstore in Sudbury Ontario from the 1940s to sometime in the 1970s. A few small bookstores struggled on but by the 1990s Sudbury, a city of 150,000 people, did not have a bookstore. Today Chapters and the internet have changed the situation for the better in Sudbury. Here is the Wolfe's stamped Harlequin from 1951 and an article by Wolfe Moses published in the May 1950 Quill & Quire. (double click for readable version)
