Ocean Falls Artifacts

CHS crest (Charleson High School) is from my high school sweater
The OF Butcher Manila Label is a scan of an original label I picked up
in an antique shop in Vegas a few years back. This was used to identify
butcher shop meat wrap that was produced in Ocean Falls when the mill
was owned and operated by Pacific Mills. I remember as a teenager,
working in the finishing room wrapping both blue and green satina which
was the meat wrap produced by Pacific Mills successor, Crown Zellerback.
I was a child when Pacific Mills was in existence.
Ocean Falls 1906-2006, is a poster I developed, with the intent of
having it published for the 100th Anniversary Reunion held in
Nanaimo.
Below is a postcard written by Mark Smaby to his wife in
1914. Smaby was one of the early timber cruisers who came across the
Ocean Falls site in the early 1900's.
A coloured sketch that appeared in the booklet "The Story
of Pacific Mills'" printed in the forties. One of the two of
the surveyors overlooking what was to become Ocean Falls is apparently
Mark Smaby, but we can't be sure which one.
