Chapman Baits Skiff Boats
This Chapman Baits Skiff Boats ad was published June 17th, 1888. I’ve also included an interesting article from March 5th, 1889 about the Company Bain Boats adding a new DBA the ST Lawrence River Skiff Canoe and steam Launch Company. This is the company we see WD Chapman advertising in the cartoonish type newspaper add as they were one of the select dealers of their boats.
You will see the same artwork on page13 of the 1888 A. Bain Boat Company Catalog in the Photo Gallery Below
