From Fort St. John, B.C. come the Northern Lights Restaurant (\"Steak \u0026amp; Seafood, Pizza – Italian Dishes\") and Great Western Farm Equipment Ltd., the Massey Ferguson \/ Morris \/ Versatile dealer. Alberta is represented by the Westport Inn of Grande Prairie (\"66 Deluxe Units, Color TV – Radio, Satellite T.V., Some Waterbeds\") and Tompkin's Mobile Service of Buffalo Head Prairie, licensed mechanics and tow truck service, with a car illustration on the back. Two books come from ICS (International Correspondence Schools) Canadian Ltd. — one with the green 1890 seal, one the bold red \"$ earn more money!\" cover with the free career booklet offer inside. The Cigas Products Ltd. book shows the red propane tanker — \"Dependable Propane Service For Farm, Home And Industry\" — and a cheerful smiley-face THANK YOU book finishes the lot.
