Have finally configured my OCR and imported this title into Microsoft Word. This sixty some page booklet was issued as a prepublication edition of seven copies, all cranked out on my ATF Offset Duplicator many decades ago. The typesetting was done with an IBM Selectric and the images created in the somewhat fuzzy black & white of that time.Two of the Torry Brothers were toy dealers, bookmen and publishers of art prints and postcard, hence their insignia (above). One of them was a haberdasher in Sydney, Nova Scotia and the fourth managed the Halifax Shipyards. Some will remember Clifford as manager of the Mahone Bay operation which built barges for the D-Day invasion of Normandy in World War II. They were an interesting bunch, and I encountered them through my first marriage to the late Anne Torey of New Glasgow.
I am going after better illustrations and will try to publish this bit of writing episodically on the web, aiming at a finasl pdf version.
