I was at a local antique store here in Barrie Ontario just north of Toronto last week and I bought a copy of "More Than They Promised" from a book vendor. He mentioned that he had at home what appears to be a hand written and illustrated 46 page booklet from about 1950 titled "Studebaker's Champs". The only thing known about the author is that he went by the name "Scotty". There are references to Local 525 which would be CAW 525 in Hamilton so it appears to be a personal account of life in the Hamilton plant.
He wondered if anyone would have any interest in the booklet. It's in good shape other than a bit of scribbling from a child on the back cover. Is there anyone who is archiving the Hamilton plants literature? Would the museum be interested in this?
I'll bet it would be interesting to anyone who worked in the plant in those days as it appears to illustrate some interesting characters from those days, unless they are fictitious!
I've included a few shots of what is in the booklet.
