The predecessor to e-commerce, mail order catalogues were the Amazon of their day. From some companies, at certain points in time, you could order almost any goods. The Library and Archives Canada has a small but significant collection of these catalogues available. This, for those who have read the post on the Solar brand, is where the catalogue drawings were taken from. A search for watches and clocks revealed the pages that will make up this post. As a disclaimer, these photos are presented as found. Canada has two official languages and a portion of these are in French. I can provide translations (within reason) to any member who PM's me with a request.
