Notes
Andrew Jack is listed as "marchand" (trader) throughout the city and district of Montreal and the province of Quebec. This identification is provided in a public notice posted in The Canada Gazette, written by J. A. Chapleau and dated December 1883. The notice that lists Jack, among other traders, is presented under the authority of the Companies Act for shares in Canada, 1877, with letters and patents issued under the Seal of the Dominion of Canada, December 3 1883. A scanned copy of the Canadian Gazette article is available in the public domain.
