BC Directory for "Henderson's Gazeteer and Directory for 1905"

By Henderson Publishing Co, Vancouver, July 1905

Vol. 12

(This directory was dictated into a tape recorder at the BC Archives, then transcribed by the author during the winter of 2002 for book research purposes. Additional data was transcribed from tapes made at the Archives 1 Nov 2005. To be absolutely sure of the correctness of the data and the spelling, please refer to the documents in the archives. In many cases, only those people integral to the story are included. However, in most instances, particularly in the case of the rural unincorporated communities, all the people in the directory are listed. )

(In the advertisements at the beginning of the directory is a full page from the Thiel Detective Service Co. This organization played a major role in the story of the investigation of Bill Miner’s robbery at Ducks. They were in competition with the Pinkertons, and actively cultivated the CPR and the BC Provincial Police for business.)
