Does the Winnipeg Public Library system own a substantial

good place to start...
The CBC Toronto folks have available to them the same directory
references as the City of Winnipeg Public Library. They've
done their homework about the same as we can do here in
Winnipeg. What we need now are a couple of local historians
knowledgeable about this industry. Hopefully, omong Paul
Horch's collector contacts, such a person might emerge.
Classic needle in a haystack.
