The "McGill and Orme" correspondence group. A bankers box, near stuffed with likely 1500+ covers, all addressed to the McGill and Orme Drugstore in Victoria BC during (almost entirely) the WWII period. A first time on the market group, which features mail from mostly BC, including town postmarks, slogans, WWII blackouts etc. Strength will be in the Slogan / Blackouts of the period, along with a wealth of various business corner cards. These are often inter-business mail items, or related to filling prescriptions. A wonderful sort ahead for the intrepid collector, received directly from the McGill family. Estimate =
