In 1911, the Canada Decalcomania Company opened an Office in Toronto and soon produced decals for many major Canadian companies. The company made transfers for Canadian National, Massey-Harris, Consumer's Gas and other Canadian companies. The company ceased operations in the early 1990s and destroyed its records and its stock. These were found in the White Elephant Room of the Abbotsford Senior Centre Christmas Bazaar in November of 2007. - Function
-
A sheet bearing a design and treated so that it will stick to a surface, thus transferring the design to that surface. These were intended for application to objects in the home for decorative purposes. - Technical
-
These transfers are 'easy to apply' and 'all you use is water'. They were marketed `for kitchen, for bath, for dinette, for nursery`. These colourful images were designed for people to use in their homes. There are instructions on how to remove old decals, suggesting that these were not perceived as being a permanent form of decoration. - Area Notes
