Address and order book

The item consists of a hardbound “order book” that appears to have been created in about 1914. There is no date written in the volume, but searches in the vital statistics index have turned up records that indicate it was created after April 1914 and prior to November 1914. The volume lists the names and addresses of women, and in many cases, it also lists what goods and services they could supply. Goods include embroidery, fine tatting, knitted garments, crochet hats, china riveting, tortoise shell products, dinner mats, children’s whitewear, and foodstuffs.

The volume may have been created by a local Women’s Institute, and may list women available to assist with fundraising or early war work. The majority of individuals listed lived in the Greater Victoria area, although several lived in the Cowichan Valley and Salt Spring Island.
