Hello again, Mike, We have a few additions to your listings and would like your thoughts as to our web page. The first listing, you show as Aubrey, Montreal Canada. I think this may be: A. Aubry & Fils Limitee, Montreal. We have one piece in our collection and guess it to be about 1914. (can send picture) The second is Kemp Mfg., Toronto. I'm pretty sure now the established date is 1887, changed their name to Sheet Metal Products in 1911, and were part of the 1927 GSW buyout. (check the link to the Kemp Family on our web page). Sheet Metal Products, was in Toronto, 1911 to 1927. McClary Mfg., was established in 1847 (now have a 1917 Catalogue to verify) until the buyout in 1927. You might also want to add: E.T.Wright and Co., Hamilton Ontario. Established in 1883 and were also part of the buyout in 1927. (have 2 examples in our little but growing collection and can E Mail photos.) We still have to research Aubry and would like to know how you came across the name...may help us both. Now, maybe you can help us a little. We have put together a basic web page and would like to have it included in your directory. We would like you to check it out at; www.onlink.net/~johnell You will notice that we linked it back to your page, as we have had a few Emails as a result of your link to us....enjoyable and we responded to each promptly. Your page has been of value to us and we are hoping that the two will compliment each other and enable us to continue sharing information. Besides Aubry, we would also like to research Landau and Cormack (from your listing), and a new find from New Brunswick bearing all kinds of touchmarks, but no makers name. Hope you will find our page of some interest and of course we look forward to your thoughts and guidance. Thanks in advance, John and Nell Slater
