1942 Print Free Press Chief Victory Bonds Bruce Hutchison Ted Dafoe Canada FZ7

This is an original 1942 halftone print of the staff of the Free Press. The caption writes, "The staff in turn are passionately proud of the old man; particularly, observes Bruce Hutchinson, 'when is engaged in taking the pants off someone-- meaning, as a rule, appeasers, Tories, tariff protectionists, anyone who doesn't understand personal freedom. On such occasions there is a sudden lift to the spirit of the whole Free Press organization, and the boys of his staff like to boast that he is really a terrible old man.' In the picture above, 'J. W.' stands in the Free Press newsroom at the left elbow of 'Ted' Dafoe, telegraph editor, one of his four sons."
