FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

GARY DOUGLAS

I would like to thank Barry for allowing me tofill this position and I sincerely hope that I amable to put out the kind of newsletter that thisorganization deserves.

Barry and I have known each other throughstamps for some time, actually, most of the gemsthat were mine, are now his. I cannot wait to seethe exhibit he will no doubt produce.

My first encounter with perfins was at a highschool English teacher's house. From time totime, my father would bring in seashells fromthe Grand Banks of Newfoundland, which Iwould trade for stamps from this teacher; weusually traded ten stamps for one shell. I foundsome Newfoundland stamps and one or twowere Ayre perfins on piece (QEII 40 cat. 269). Ihad them a long time before they wereeventually washed off the paper. In the early'90's, my collecting interest turned toNewfoundland stamps as I am from GrandBank, Newfoundland. Anything related toGrand Bank was soon purchased.Newfoundland perfins were acquired along the

way and as Barry can attest, I had quite a nicecollection of perfins, though only a sideline ofmy main collection.

I hope this newsletter finds the membership wellthis New Year. My goal is to increase themembership by any means possible, especiallyelectronically. We will be including foreignitems , although BNA material will takeprecedence; as with RSP's, we will allowforeign content. The next newsletter will be outshortly after ORAPEX, which is held in Ottawain May. At ORAPEX there will be an informalmeeting of perfin collectors and I will arrange atable or room Bring show and tell items. Thisis a great show and always well attended.

BNAPEX ' 99 VERNON, BCMark Fennell

The Convention (I'll term it that) opened on a sad note for myself upon learning , that just theweek before , Geoff Walburn of Kelowna had passed away at a great age of 97. Geoff was along-term member of BNAPS and is best known for his work with precancels . When I firststarted collecting perfins some 35 years ago, Geoff, among other things, dealt in them and overthe years I acquired a great many from him at prices, which at the start were 5 and 10 cents each.I had met him personally and visited him a couple of times in his home.

The bourse/exhibit room was spacious and well laid out, nothing crowded. There were 16bourse sections - 14 dealers and 2 auction houses . The majority of material for sale was eithercovers or cards of various kinds but I did find one dealer who had a few perfins and was pleased

to get, among other items, a 50 Quebec Tercentenary with a J8.

I attended 3 seminars - Revenues, Postal Stationery and Perfins as well as the Judges' Critiqueand the Annual Meeting. I have an interest in the first two mentioned areas of collecting thatpredate perfins, but I'll only deal with the Perfin Seminar.

Those in attendance were: Jon Johnson, Vernon, BC; Neil Dowsley, Victoria, BC; TrelleMorrow, Prince George, BC; Barry Clarke , Palmerston North, New Zealand; Doug Lingaard,Ottawa, ON; Kevin Kienlein, Vernon, BC; Mark Fennell, Saskatoon, SK; and Paul McDonald,who expressed an interest in perfins, but, unfortunately, I did not get his domicile. Also at theconvention, but not at the Study Group Seminar were Robert Haselwood, Montreal, PQ; DonFraser, Winnipeg, MB; and Don Wilson, St. John's, NF, who are study group members.

Jon Johnson chaired the Seminar, which lasted an hour and a half. Jon gave a slide presentationon the evolution of franking on the Department of National Defence Records Department andTrelle Morrow gave a slide presentation on the OHMS perfins. After the presentations, themeeting was opened for any discussion.

I mentioned that in correspondence with our Treasurer , Steve Koning, he stated that we had$841.54 in the bank. a question was asked - what were we doing with all that money? Theanswer was that the number of Perforators being published had been greatly reduced and as thecost of production and mailing, etc. was probably in the neighbourhood of $75.00 per issue wehad accumulated quite a bit of money. However, should we get back to 6 issues a year, thatmoney would soon be used up.

Jon was asked when we might see the 5 th edition of the Handbook and there was no definitiveanswer . He conceded that the handbook had just about reached the out of print stage. Heoutlined various hurdles that had to be overcome in a new printing including a new printer.

Jon was then asked what he thought could be done to restore interest in the Study Group and hesaid more newsletters . It was acknowledged that our present editor/publisher produced anexcellent newsletter when it was possible for him to do so, but with his work, growing size of his

Page 4: THE BNA PERFORATORTHE BNA PERFORATOR Published by The British North America Philatelic Society - The BNA Perfins Study Group Volume 21, Number 1 - Whole Number 109 ... Jon gave a slide

family and his own stamp business, he was left with little time for other activities. A newsletterjust typed was better than none. We are between a rock and a hard place in this regard.

The present study group officers were considered to continue for another year as none hadresigned and there were no new nominations.

Trelle Morrow sold his perfin collection at the convention.

At the Annual General Meeting it was mentioned that the Board of Directors had removed therequirement that the annual conventions alternate between Canada and the United States. While2000 has been set for Chicago and 2001 for Ottawa, after that it was up for grabs.

A word about exhibits. There were 6 one-frame Study Group exhibits, 2 one-frame non-

competitive exhibits and 47 competitive exhibits ranging from 1 to 10 frames each for a grandtotal of 230 frames or 3,680 pages. Very impressive material. Awards were 12 gold; 15 vermeil;16 silver; 4 silver-bronze. There were no bronze or certificates. The content of the exhibits were- basically stamps 10; basically covers/cards 28; about half-and-half 9.

Looking at the displays, I had, in some cases , difficulty in reconciling the award with thematerial, but then I'm not an experienced judge, this is just how it looked to a lay person. Forexample, a one-frame exhibit received a gold while some 6 or 8 frame displays, in differentcategories, received a silver. It did not seem to be a case of quality versus quantity. Otherexhibits, in the same general category, that looked equal to me, received different awards. I gotthe impression that the narrower or more obscure the field, the higher the award.

I received a silver for my general perfin exhibit as did Kevin Kienlein for his exhibit of perfinsused in British Columbia. A judge told me that at this type of show I should concentrate on oneaspect or one perfin rather than an omnibus exhibit.

Most exhibits were on white paper but two were on bullish ivory paper. However, this was notmentioned as a negative factor at the Judges' Critique. There was one exhibit with hand printedtext and the judges specifically mentioned that it was not a detrimental factor, so exhibitorswithout a computer take heart.

The social aspect of the show was excellent. In only went on the two all-day wine tours, therewere a variety of others, and experienced how wild some wines can taste. We had a mostenjoyable three-hour dinner cruise on a paddle wheeler on Lake Okanagan. The Past President'sreception was excellent with a free drink and mountains of goodies to eat. The Awards Banquetwas super, I went to the dessert table for thirds.

While the Convention opened on a sad note for myself, it concluded with a pleasant one as JonJohnson was made a member of the Order of the Beaver, a distinguished award granted byBNAPS to members who have diligently served the Society in many ways over the years.Besides being co-editor of the 4th edition of the Perfin Handbook, Jon has held various offices inBNAPS and was part of the organizing committee of the Convention.

The organizing committee for BNAPEX '99 is to be congratulated on a job so well done. It wasgreat and I really enjoyed attending.

PS After the above had been typed, an issue of the Perforator has been received in which PatDurbano has resigned as editor/publisher. The material in the newsletter by Jon Johnsonwas what he showed at the seminar.

CHAIRMAN'S CHATTERBarry Senior

Well it's been a while but we finally have a new Perforator issue . As you know from the lastissue, Patrick Durbano has stepped down as editor after filling the role since 1994. Patrick'sskills as a desktop publisher were second to none and resulted in a well-presented, informativenewsletter. Unfortunately the demands of a job and a growing family did not allow Pat the timehe felt he needed to do this job the way he wanted to do it. It was not without some regret that Iaccepted Patrick' s resignation when it came . On behalf of the membership I thank Pat for a jobwell done.

Shortly after the last newsletter came out I received an e-mail from the man you now see listed asour new editor, Gary Douglas. Gary was eager to have a go at being the new editor of thePerforator. His background as a part-time dealer and his immense knowledge of perfins of allcountries makes him an excellent candidate for the position. With this in mind we may see somearticies and items related to foreign as well as Canadian perfins. I think this will benefit themembership since many people collect countries besides Canada and Newfoundland.

I now that Gary does not have a large number of articles for future issues so I urge everyone toc nsider sending in some tidbit of information that may be beneficial to other members . Withouty ur input Gary cannot hope to publish a good newsletter.

I4 closing, I once again thank Pat for his time as editor and say welcome and good luck to Garya he takes on his new role. Happy hunting.

A SAGA OF THE CREATION OF FOUR COMPANIES WHO USED "PERFINS"

AND

THE INVOLVEMENT OF ONE OF CANADA 'S RENOWNED PHILATELIC PERSONAGE

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

THE COMPANIES: CANADA CEMENT CO. LTD.

CANADIAN CAR AND FOUNDRY LTD.

STEEL COMPANY OF CANADA

CANADA FOUNDRIES AND FORGINGS LTD.

THE PHILATELIC PERSONAGE: SIR SANDFORD FLEMING

R.S. Traquair

My summer reading included the fascinating book - Profit & Politics by Gregory P. Marchildon,a story of Beaverbrook and the gilded age of Canadian finance. This book was the source of this"saga".

Something of the financial background in Canada, prior the gilded age should be understood.

1909 Marked the beginning of a bull market that was to sweep the country and produce the firstgreat merger wave in Canadian history. The frenzy continued through 1910, 1911 and 1912,slowing with the outbreak of the first world war.

A substantial market for industrial securities did not emerge in Canada until after the turn of thecentury. Industrial bonds and preference shares at this infant stage had a reputation akin to themodern Junk bond, being both high risk and potentially high yield.

Change from the period of modest capital requirements of industries became necessary becauseof a sudden decline in prices caused by overproduction and technical innovation in high-throughput production processes.

By collapsing almost 20 existing companies into 3 enormous enterprises - the Canada CementCompany, the Canadian Car and Foundry Company and the Steel Company of Canada - MaxAitken was immediately recognized and quickly villified as the leading promoter and financierof the era.

Canada Cement was created by the absorption of 12 firms. Canadian Car and Foundry Ltd.absorbed 3 firms . Steel Company of Canada absorbed 5 firms. Canada Foundries and ForgingsLtd. absorbed 3 firms, and Dominion Glass Co. Ltd. absorbed 4 firms in May 1913.

The Canada Cement merger became a "cause celebre". Reports in the populist press portrayedAitken as the ultimate manipulator , a high financier who stripped the assets of perfectly goodfirms and then created monopolies from their carcasses . This perception became de rigueurwhen one of Canada ' s most respected citizens, Sir Sandford Fleming accused Aitken of stealingmillions of dollars from Canada Cement ' s treasury . Fleming was the president and chiefshareholder of two of the firms entering the merger and was honorary president of the mergercompany itself. The two firms were Western Canada Cement & Coal Company whose plant wascited at Exshaw, Alberta and International Portland Cement Company at Hull, Quebec.

Fleming was close to 80 years of age and spent most of his time at his stately home in Ottawaenjoying the fruits of his various investments including a C.P.R. directorship and his presidencyof International Portland.

Fleming invested $500,000.00 of share capital in Western Canada Cement & Coal and gave theBank of Montreal a personal guarantee for $100,000.00 to cover an overdraft. A further$80,000.00 was subsequently borrowed from the bank. The merger syndicate, under Aitken'smanagement, forced Western Canada Cement into bankruptcy - with its assets soon picked up atbargain prices by the merger company - leaving the managing director and Fleming holding thecompany' s unsecured debts, estimated by Fleming to be $690,000.00.

The new charter of the Canada Cement Company was issued on August 20, 1909. Companiesinvolved in the original merger were:

Belleville Portland Cement CompanyAlberta Portland CementInternational Portland Cement CompanyLehigh Portland CompanyCanadian Portland Cement Company

Fleming stubbornly continued a campaign to embarrass Canada Cement into accepting WesternCanada on easier terms , but an agreement was reached with Western Canada Cement on April 4,1910. Fleming was increasingly succumbing to dementia and under the pressure could not becontrolled . He was determined to avenge himself on all those who he believed had forced hiscement company into bankruptcy, principally Aitken, but also Canada Cement and the Bank ofMontreal . He lost a sizable chunk of his family's fortune and damaged his considerablereputation as he single -mindedly pursued Aitken , Canada Cement and the Bank.

By the autumn of 1912 , Fleming was truly senile and partly due to Aitken ' s influence , settlementof lawsuits was accomplished. Aitken's two subsequent mergers in the rolling stock and steelindustries were smooth affairs.

Toward the end of October, 1909, Aitken announced the consolidation of the three largestrailway car manufacturers in the country, namely:

Rhodes Curry Company of Amherst, Nova ScotiaCanada Car Company of MontrealDominion Car and Foundry of Montreal

Thus was the creation of Canadian Car and Foundry Ltd.

Extensive negotiations , disagreements and considerable acrimony plagued Aitken in completingthe Canadian equivalent of the "deal of the Century", the Wall Street phrase used to describe J.P.Morgan's United Steel Corporation. Ultimately, though, these companies merged:

Montreal Rolling Mills CompanyHamilton Steel and Iron Co.Canada Screw Company, itself the result of the merger of 4 companiesCanada Bolt and Nut CompanyDominion Wire Manufacturing Company

Thus was created the Steel Corporation of Canada - or Stelco for short.

Space permits only a very brief overview of these events but it quickly becomes apparent thattoday's mergers and acquisitions seem but child-play by comparison.

Important notice: the estimated values I inserted only represent aselling price based on several factors like - perfin factor or quantities incirculation of that perfin, the stamp and the cancel condition, the periodof usage, the growing demand for perfins and also the increasing number ofperfins collectors. But remember: the starting bid is always 75% of theestimated value, unless the lot has a Reserved asking price which becomes thestarting bid. That' what I meant in the pass when I wrote "Bids lower than 75%of the estimate value will be decline". Take advantage of that starting bidif you thing you may have a chance to buy that lot at that low price...

Kindly bid by lot number in 100 increments below a dollar and 250increments otherwise. Successful bids will be 10% above the next highest bid,rounded up according to the avove increments. The Study Group will charge a 10%commission only on the lots sold, payable by the consignors.
