Firestone Tire Advertisement, 1946

We came across this 1946 Victoria newspaper advertisement for Firestone tires.
Note the “Tire Rationing Removed” in the upper right corner; tires had been rationed during World War II (1939-1945). Also note the list of Firestone dealers at the bottom. These businesses are now gone but some of the buildings remain.

Vancouver Island Transportation History
We came across this 1930 advertisement for Vancouver Island Coach Lines.
The “Streak of Orange” must refer to the colour of the Vancouver Island Coach Lines buses at that time.
