On a Thursday afternoon when we all hoped it wouldn't rain, Linda Lamb and Gerald Acaster came into the office bearing a silver plate.

The plate had a map of Canada with three buildings in the forefront, one from Regina, one from Toronto and one from Halifax. The plate belonged to their neighbour Mr. A. Freimark.

The inscription on the plate read as follows: "1867-27. Canada's Jubilee. Simpsons's Mail Order. 100% Canadian Organization joins with the whole of Canada in a Jubilee of Thanksgiving for our present prosperity and our belief in a greater future."

We figured the plate to made of silver, tin, or silver-plated tin. If anyone has any information, give us a shout. The plate might have some sort of enhanced value given that it's Canada's 150th.
