This graphically striking and early (1904) advertisement, 6 x 9 inches in size, offers sportsmen an attractive array of hunting and fishing options in the “Temagami Territory” — provided, of course, that they travel via the Grand Trunk Railway System. The ad boasted that the hunter would find plentiful moose and abundant bears, deer, partridges and ducks. For some unknown reason, caribou are also mentioned. For the fisherman, bass, pickerel, maskinonge (muskelunge) and trout abounded.
The Grand Trunk’s advertising network was extensive, sophisticated and geared in part toward luring vacationing Americans. The agents included T. H. Hanley of 360 Washington St. in Boston, MA; C. L. Coon of 285 Main St. in Buffalo, NY; J. H. Burgis of 249 Clark St. in Chicago; R. Bushby of 6 Burgess Block in Cortland, NY; G. W. Watson of 124 Woodward Ave. in Detroit; F. P. Dwyer of 290 Broadway in New York City; J. D. McDonald at Union Station in Toronto; J. Quinlan at the Bonaventure Station in Montreal; and G. T. Bell, general passenger and ticket agent in Montreal.
