English made blankets were marketed by many different firms, including T. Eaton’s; Early’s of Witney; BCW; Globe; Gault’s; Mackay, Smith, Blair & Co. (Vancouver); Push, Tact & Principle; Simpsons; Hudson Bay Company as well as several others. Many of the firms offering English made blankets were Canadian trading companies or department stores, and most of the blankets were actually made in England by firms in the Witney or Yorkshire areas, such as Early & Marriott, Charles Early & Co., Charles Early & Son, John Lee & Sons, David Lee & Sons, Marriot, and others."[/QUOTE]
