excerpt from “Men of Canada”

Moncton Ad from Oct. 9, 1893. Although it says W. M. Givan, this is just an erroneous way of writing Wm. (his middle initial is in fact R. for Roger).

A thick glass bottle from the late 1800’s found by Daniel Gray in the woods a few kilometres from downtown Moncton off the Salisbury Road in 2006.
It reads: “William Givan, Moncton, N.B., Aerated Water”
