Jan’s Unique Find
Ceramic Plant Rooter
Recently I was at an antique show in Calgary and came
across this. I had no idea what it was and asked the vendor. Her
response was quick and definite; “It is a plant rooter.” At which
point she took it from my hands and showed me the openings
on the sides of the ‘iron’ where water could be poured in and
the cuttings then placed in the water. Near the ‘V’ of the iron is
a hole which can be used to hang the rooter on the wall. Being
a plant lover, I had to have it. Its dimensions are 5" high, 3 ¾"
wide and the depth is 3 ¾".

The Calgary Stampede
years ago
by Fred Hauck, Collector, Redcliff, AB
I
t is Stampede time once again, and this year
is a big one. It is the 100th Anniversary of the
Calgary Stampede. It is also a perfect time
to talk about the first one way back in 1912.
Before I get into the 1912 Stampede, there is one thing
I should mention. There have not been 100 stampedes since
1912, there have only been 91. The first was 1912, the second
was 1919 (known as the Victory Stampede due to the end of
World War I), and 1923 was the third Stampede. Since 1923,
the Calgary Stampede has been held annually.
The brain child for the first Calgary Stampede was an
American from Rochester, New York named Guy Weadick.
He wanted to stage the greatest frontier days celebration the
world had ever seen. Other wild west celebrations did exist
south of the border, for example The Pendleton Round-Up
and the daddy of them all, Cheyenne Frontier Days showed
the west as it really was, complete with cowboys, Indians
and a rodeo. These types of shows were successful, and
Weadick wanted Calgary to have “its moment in the sun.”
His show, as he put it, “Would make Buffalo Bill’s Wild West
Show look like a side show.” He went on to say there would
be hundreds of cowboys and hundreds of Indians, scores of
cowgirls, Mexican ropers and riders, and many fancy trick
riders. Weadick arrived with his wife, Florence LaDue, who
was a fancy roper and trick rider. Both had been vaudeville
performers and had been in the Miller Brothers’ 101 Ranch
Wild West Show, which was a production that travelled
around the United States.
One of the first men Weadick met with to promote
his dream was E. L. Richardson, General Manager of
the Calgary Industrial Exhibition. At the time, Weadick
asked for $100,000. to finance the 1912 show. Richardson
declined. He could see possibilities, but at the same time
was trying to keep the Industrial Exhibition out of the red.
If other backers could be found, he would recommend that
the exhibition grounds be rented to Weadick. Finally, H. C.
McMullen, general livestock agent for the Canadian Pacific
Railway, listened to Weadick and lined up a possible backer.
George Lane, from the Bar U Ranch at Longview, Alberta,
heard Weadick’s idea and was impressed. Lane lined up
meetings with three other possible investors, Pat Burns
- rancher and owner of the Burns Meat Co.; A. E. Cross –
President of the Calgary Brewing and Malting Co. and
owner of the A7 Ranch, said to be one of the oldest ranches
in Canada; and the Honourable A. J. Maclean, Minister
of Public Works. These four men would forever become
known as the “Big Four.” These men put up the $100,000. to
finance the 1912 Stampede. It was Weadick’s hope that the
word stampede, which was part of the show’s name, would
become synonymous with Calgary. The arrangement for the
$100,000. was sealed with handshakes.

Weadick and ’The Big 4’ with a life size diarama.
The 1912 Calgary Stampede would be held from
September 2-5 in order to take advantage of the Labour
Day long weekend. Weadick had complete authority over
the running of the Stampede and H. C. McMullen was the
“Director General.” As well, McMullen was to receive 25%
of Weadick’s profits. The first thing Weadick did was hire
A.P. Day, from Medicine Hat, AB, to be the Arena Director;
and his brother, Tony, to be the Assistant Arena Director.
It was said that the Day brothers owned the largest herd
of bucking horses in Canada, which was a real benefit to
Weadick. Everything was coming together. The next job
was to advertise and attract contestants. Some of the better
known rodeo contestants were contacted. Six tribes of
native Indians were located in the Calgary area, ensuring
an Indian presence. Many western Canadian cowboys had
signed up, but only a few American ones had at that time.
Weadick told Day to go to Cheyenne, Wyoming Frontier Days
with a cheque book in hand and convince 50 top contestants
to come to the Calgary celebrations. The cowboys were
found, along with the Pendleton Round-Up Marching Band,
all of whom arrived on two rail passenger cars. This cost
Weadick $6,000 for train fare and meals, and another 25%
of his profit to Day; otherwise Day would not have gone
south to do the recruiting. In all, Weadick signed away 75%
of his profits before a profit was even seen.
Continued on Page 10
July & August 2012 • 9 Weadick had hoped that King George VI and Queen
Mary would make a return trip to Alberta, as they had been
to the area once before. Since this was not possible, The
Duke and Duchess of Connaught made the trip. The Duke
was Queen Victoria’s son and Canada’s Governor General.
Some of the more famous contestants included
Clem Gardner, Johnny Mullins and his wife Dolly, Lucille
Mulhall, Hazel Walker, Florence LaDue, Red Parke and
Tom Three Persons, a Blood Indian. Clem Gardner and
Tom Three Persons provided one of the best competitions
at the bucking horse contest. The champion was decided
based one which of the two could stay on the outlaw horse,
Cyclone. Tom Three Persons finally won the prize which was
a $1,000, a hand-tooled saddle and a gold belt buckle. Harry
Webb received $500. for 2nd place and Charles McKinley
$250 for 3rd. Clem Gardner was disqualified for grabbing
the saddle horn.

The women also had a bucking horse contest in 1912.
Fanny Sperry Steele won 1st prize and LaDue received a
$1,000, the saddle and the gold belt buckle. Florence Ladue,
Weadick’s wife, won the Ladies Roping.
Otto Kline, from Livingston, Montana, won the Fancy
Roping and $500. in cash. The Cowboy 1½ mile race was
won by Jimmy Mitchell of Medicine Hat who received $750.
3rd place and $300. went to Harry Bray of Medicine Hat.
The All Around Title was claimed by Clem Gardner as he
competed in several events.
Every night special evening shows were performed
in the Victoria Park Arena to packed grandstands. In 1912
the population of Calgary was 47,000 people. The parade
attracted 80,000 spectators and the Stampede 25,000
visitors. The total expenses for the 1912 Stampede were

103,000. The total revenue was $123,000. Including some
late expenses that had to be paid, the total profit amounted
to $15,000. Guy Weadick had promised 75% of the profits
to various people so he was left with $3,750 for all his hard
work. The four backers Lane, Burns, Cross and Maclean
chose not to support a 1913 Calgary Stampede. Guy Weadick
was interviewed in Winnipeg where a stampede was staged
in 1913. Guy Weadick did not manage another Calgary
Stampede until 1919.
Penants from the 1912 Stampede.

The 1912 Stampede did provide a few collectables for
the current collector to be watching for. The 1912 Stampede
programme can be found, although it is not plentiful and
is pricey at $1,000. or more, depending on the condition.
A gentleman named Marcell was the official photographer
in 1912. Postcard photographs can be found and most are
priced under $60. Of course, depending on the condition
and subject matter, some are definitely worth more than
others. Souvenir pennants made of felt, in different styles
can be found for about $500. each. Other souvenirs and
printed material are sometimes found; for example,
newspapers, posters, etc. The official poster for the 1912
Stampede is rare, newspapers although not easy to find
are not as desirable. In 1972, for the 60th anniversary the
Stampede had pin back buttons made up that said, “I was
at the 1912 Stampede.” I don’t think these are common as I
have seen very few.

T
he history of Ice Cream is fairly well
documented, going back to Greek and
Roman times. Historians of that time
(54 – 68 A.D.) reported that ice relays from the far
mountain peaks, by teams of swift slaves, were ordered by
Emperor Nero. These runners were selected based on speed
so that well-wrapped blocks of ice could be transported
with utmost dispatch to the seat of the Roman Court. Nero
was not know for his patience or understanding, but was
considered to have a very discriminating palate. Sherbets
and ices flavoured with grape or pomegranate juice and
sweetened with honey, were highly regarded by him. This
must have been a great relief to his cooks, since he was also
known for beheading those who annoyed him. His liking
for fruit ices hopefully soothed his summer-heat-induced
irritability. To misappropriate a later tagline: “The Pause
that Refreshes.”
Move forward to 1295, when Marco Polo returns to
Venice after exploring the far reaches of the Middle East
and China. He reports having enjoyed frozen desserts,
using snow or ice from the Himalayas, fruit juices and
honey. Another of his recipes included milk and was
more like ice cream as we know it today. By 1533, when
Catherine de Medici was united in political marriage to
Henry II of France, she brought many refinements to his
court. Culinary experimentation gained momentum, as
members of the royal elite vied to outdo one another at
state banquets and opulent dinners. Numerous courses
featuring seafood, poultry, stewed mutton and roasted
pork or beef, were interspersed with palate-cleansing and
refreshing “ices.” Desserts, as we know them, were not only
served at the conclusion of a meal. Extravagant ‘sweets’ –
many featuring rich custards of cream and eggs, brandy,
spices, fruit, sugar, chocolate and other exotic ingredients,
Banana split dishes or ‘banana boats’
just starting to be brought to Western Europe from distant
sources – were frozen, using ice from Scandinavia and
rock salt, which lowered the temperature radically. Stirring
or shaking while freezing, created a smoother, creamier
concoction. Ice cream, as we know it, was born.
In America, Dolly Madison (First Lady in 1811) was
fond of serving ice cream with hothouse strawberries,
enhancing her reputation for gracious and sophisticated
dining at the White House. By 1846, Nancy Johnson had
invented the hand-cranked ice cream maker, and now
this delicious treat gained greater exposure. By 1879, the
Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia makes the ice
cream soda an enormous success and the ‘soda jerk’, the
first American Idol. At the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904,
the waffle ice cream cone is first introduced and becomes a
huge success as well.
Soon, commercially churned ice cream products fill
the tremendous public desire for these quick and delicious
treats; available to the general public, as well as to the
well-to-do. Enjoyed at drugstore soda fountains and small
town ice cream parlours, as well as at venues like state
fairs and country expositions, ice cream becomes a status
symbol and a small tasty adventure. Imbued with the exotic
presentation of a multitude of flavours, unusual fruits,
unique syrups, sauces and garnishes; the sheer decadence
of creamy ice melting on tongues leads to many a romance
Ice cream sundae and small dishes.
July & August 2012 • 15 Alberta. Sylvan Star Cheese Farm will be making their own
ice cream for the first time this summer. You can get good
ice creams that you can serve proudly, or you can easily
make your own, using any of the dozens of recipes available.
It is not all that daunting a task, fun for the youngsters and
does not even require an ice cream machine. The required
beating and whipping as it freezes can be handled by any
full-size mixer; then a few hours in your freezer will finish
it off. Now all you have to do, is serve it with style to a
deserving audience.
es.
Red ice cream dishes with shot glass
during the Roaring Twenties. Love, at the soda fountain
or ice cream parlour, was made possible by commercial
refrigeration, cold storage and mechanized transportation
in the following years.
Serving old-fashioned ice cream really does demand
some old-fashioned glass dishes. Most of the vintage
examples will only hold one or two scoops because a really
rich iced dessert should be eaten in more modest quantities;
and if sauces, fruit or decorative garnishes are added as
well, desserts can easily become “too much.” Having your
guests longing for just one more spoonful, is a clever ploy
used by sophisticated hostesses, whose invitations are
always in demand.
Unfortunately, such success also leads to ‘quick
and dirty’ business. Ice cream in the 1950’s becomes an
unrecognizable slurry of artificial flavours, fats, gums,
seaweed extracts, food colourings and stabilizers. Where did
the milk, cream, eggs, fresh fruit and cocoa butter go? Real
ingredients become less and less real. Ice cream that cannot
melt, breakdown or refrain from coating your teeth with
wax is probably something to be avoided. ‘Supermarket’
brands are sold to grieving ice cream lovers for decades.
Filling, fattening and not very satisfying; are these shallow
imitations of ice cream. “Off with their heads!” Nero would
have decreed, if such was served at his banquet tables.
But in 1960, the return to high quality ice cream
was initiated by Reuben and Rose Mattus, the creators of
Häagen-Dazs. They decided that selling half as much for
twice as much, of a really good product was the way to
success for the future. Customers were thrilled to pay a
premium to get that fresh, rich and flavourful old-time
taste. Häagen-Dazs is made in small batches, marketed
in pint containers, then transported by the most up-todate refrigerated tractor-trailer units, travelling on tight
schedules and always arriving on time. Only homemade,
hand-cranked ice cream, using the finest fresh ingredients
could compete against Häagen-Dazs.
Today other small producers can be found who create
a top-notch product, including several located right here in
Take a look at the ice cream servers pictured above.
Many date from the 1930’s, depression glass examples with
intricate moulded designs can be found in a variety of
colours; with spring green, apple blossom pink and crystal
being common. I recently found two in Florentine #1, which
has the serrated edge on the foot. With them came a crystal
Florentine #2 pitcher, which has the smooth, round foot.
Not a huge distinction, and many collectors do mix the
two styles. Florentine’s pattern is a very pretty lacy-looking
floral design and a great favourite with many; it does make
ice cream or sherbet look pretty before you spoon it up. If
you can also find the 6" sherbet dish to match, that is a
bonus indeed.

‘70’s. These generally have more capacity, as serving sizes
got more generous after the austerity of the Depression.
Dish on pie plate.
In the Sandwich pattern (made with slight variations
by three different companies) I have found an oval plate
which has a ringed depression which fits the foot of the
sherbet dish. This set was meant for serving warm pie and
cold ice cream, and prevented the latter from melting into a
puddle in which the pie crust soon became soggy. Canadian
Saguenay came in fired-on pink, yellow, light blue, mint
green or crystal, and also had plates to match.
Numerous Depression Glass patterns came with ice
cream dishes. The trick can sometimes be finding sets of
six or eight that match. So, don’t…find matching ones. Buy
one or two of as many kinds as you can find, and mix or
match as you please. The trick to making that work is to
group them by style, colour or decade. The squared, chunky
1950’s dishes, many with fired-on colours in primary shades
I especially like the very delicate crystal ones that
were etched or hand cut in a variety of lovely designs.
They were usually part of extensive sets of stemware for
serving wines, liqueurs or mixed cocktails, and date from
the 1890’s to the 1940’s. Again, my advice is, buy those that
appeal to you, mixing and matching as mood and occasion
warrants. The fire engine red ones (pictured above) could
serve French Vanilla ice cream or Cherries Jubilee in eyepopping style. The liqueur glasses, that almost perfectly
match, could certainly be used with them. The liqueur of
choice could be sipped or poured over the ice cream dessert
as desired. Nero would have approved.
He would also have been in favour of ‘banana boats’
ladened with ices, fresh fruit, whipped cream and slivered
almonds. You could add a few raisons plumped in rum or
brandy, chopped dates or sliced dried figs; Nero would have
been familiar with these very ancient dried fruits. They make
a nice, nutritious addition to plain ice cream – just in case
fresh fruit, eggs and cream seem nutritionally inferior to you
at that point in time. Serve this in the elegant oblong, footed
boats, made by the Heisey Glass Co. Their high quality, clear
crystal was always marked with their ‘H’ in a diamond; hard
to find, but worth the search. It’s beautiful stuff.

The Vikings are coming!
Words to strike terror into the hearts of fellow Europeans a thousand years ago; who lived along coast lines and
inland waterways, right? Well…
Actually, not so much. The Vikings were predominantly traders and transporters, merchants and marketers; who
used their thirst for adventure, phenomenal seafaring skills and their canny sense of barter and business to create a
powerful and very profitable Scandinavian region, from the late 700’s until about 1250 A.D. You can learn more about
the Viking way during Viking Day, August 19, 2012 at the Danish Canadian National Museum and Gardens. It is
located at Dickson just south of Spruce View, Alberta.
The Danish Canadian National Museum and Gardens presents this ‘reality adventure’ for the enjoyment of young
and old alike. The day will include a Viking camp provided by the professional re-enactment partnership ‘History
Anew’. They will demonstrate the lifestyle of a herring fisherman and his wife about 1000 A.D.; mending nets, waterproofing their boat’s sail (more on that later) and baking flat-bread over an open fire. Some battle techniques, using
sword and shield, the hammer, bow and arrows and other weapons of the Iron Age will also be demonstrated. As well, a
couple of Viking traders will set up camp, selling various plunder; including textiles, trade goods, glass, ceramics and

July & August 2012 • 23 Scandinavian jewellery, to all and sundry. The timehonoured Norse traditions of bargain, barter and
bicker, with a rousing hand slap to seal the deal – will
be the norm for the day.
Also, particularly of note on-site at the Danish
Museum, is the authentic Viking ship Freydis
Johanna, built to the exact specifications of a small
seafaring Viking boat. Based on a ship raised from the
Roskilde Fjord, it was built using only tools and skills
available to boat wrights of the first Millennium;
from a five hundred year-old oak tree felled in the
Royal Danish forest. Sawn, seasoned and fire-shaped
planks form the hull, keel, prow and stern; riveted
together by hand-wrought iron nails. Caulked and
waterproofed with traditional pitch and lampblack on
the outside, oiled and hand-rubbed inside; this is a
craft of exceptional beauty, function and durability.
Seeing it catches at your heart and makes most
modern folk want to go A-Viking to far off uncharted
destinations… As Rudyard Kipling wrote in his Harp
Song of the Dane Women:
“Seeing it catches
at your heart
and makes most
modern folk want
to go A-Viking to
far off uncharted
destinations.”
What is a woman that you forsake her,
And the heart fire and the home-acre,
To go with the old grey widowmaker?
It is a great poem, too long to quote here, but
worth finding and reading for the “1,000 year-old”
flavour.
As well as being raiders, traders, farmers and
fishermen, the Scandinavians of a thousand years
ago were also very skilled artisans, weavers, coopers,
blacksmiths and cooks. The women, in particular,
excelled at harvesting, preserving, storing and serving
the diverse bounty of the sea and forest, the meadow,
orchard, garden and farm. Fishing, farming, foraging
and hunting provided a rich and varied diet. Many
of the same foods are still found on the Danish table
today. Herring is enjoyed in an endless number of
dishes; smoked, pickled or fried. Eel, trout, salmon,
shrimp, lobster and crayfish are delicacies from the
North Sea and Baltic, enjoyed by Viking-era families,
just as they still are daily in Denmark.
At the Danish Canadian National Museum
and Gardens restaurant, pickled herring is served

At The Farm with The Good Food, ‘traditional’ is
probably the word I most often use to describe what our
family does here. We raise food, Danish-style. We have:
beef from our 100 cow/calf pairs (all descended from the
seven original females we started with in 1977); eggs from
about 100 hens of various breeds (who lay free-range
eggs in ‘designer colours’ of a dozen shades of brown,
cream, white, green or blue); pork from a cross between
Large Black sows and a Tamworth boar (piglets born late
May are so darned cute, colourful and entertaining, too).
Four generations call this little spot of heaven just west of
Red Deer, home. If you want real food from scratch, come
and visit us; tour the farm, check out the breeding stock
for sale and visit the large antique shop too. Find us at

July & August 2012 • 25 Sylvan Star Cheese Farm is probably familiar to most
of our regular readers. I have raved about their awardwinning selection of unique, hand-crafted cheeses on
numerous occasions. Can’t go wrong there…if you love
really good cheese, imported Dutch delicatessen items and
a great selection of locally produced organic foods, visit
Sylvan Star Cheese.
What’s new for 2012 at the Cheese Farm is that they
are going to be churning some of their milk and cream
into ice cream. Equipment is being installed in the next
month that will allow them to produce a really superior
product: up to the same high standards exemplified by
their cheeses. The constant high quality of milk and
cream produced by their herd of dairy cows; combined
with state-of-the-art equipment and some great recipes
featuring fresh local fruits, will yield a quality product.
Served in a vintage ice cream dish with berries, whipped
cream or maple syrup sauce, this could be just short of
culinary ecstasy on a hot summer afternoon.
At Sylvan Star Farm store, you can hunt for
those vintage ice cream servers, banana split dishes,
old wooden-handled ice cream scoops and other cool
paraphernalia to enable your ice cream habit. (Check
out Glorious Glass III on page 14 for The Scoop!) As
well, they stock vintage cookbooks from many countries,
cheese keepers, butter dishes, egg servers and beehive
honey pots, to give your cooking success stories some
presentation panache.

This year the Ellis Bird Farm Teahouse is
under the management of Mike Ubbing and Meaghan
Dillabough. We ate there on opening day and were very
pleased with their selection; featuring a wide variety of
salads, soups and unusual sandwiches. The Special that
day was a wild mushroom soup of rich and intricate
flavour layers, elusive and very delicious. I have often
picked wild mushrooms on our pastures; the flavour
is superb and they make an outstandingly tasty soup,
but…the colour is usually a nondescript, boring
beige. Mike solved that problem by floating a couple of
spoonfuls of neon green chive oil on top of his version
– instantly transforming it into both an eye- and palatepleasing success. Nice touch!
Mike puts the emphasis on local ingredients
freshly picked from their own market garden or bought
Editor’s Comment: Discovering ANTIQUES would like to
thank Liz Taylor, Executive Director of Red Deer and District
Tourism, for a great deal of help, suggestions, guidance and
for orchestrating financial support from Travel Alberta;
making the “Discovering Food” ads possible. The importance
of advertising is never disputed, but costs can be a deterrent
for smaller and non-profit operators. Programs from Travel
Alberta, which can make advertising possible for these rural
venues; are a wonderful and very efficient way for them to reach
a much greater audience. Travel Alberta assists a number of
family operations and dedicated volunteers to maximize their
impact on local, regional and international levels. Hats off!
from other local Country Drive members. He utilizes
the superb organic meats from Big Bend Market in Red
Deer and cheeses from Sylvan Star Cheese Farm. The
Big Bend Bison Panini, with balsamic aioli, Sylvan
Star Aged Cheddar, caramelized onion and tomato was
wonderful. They also do a Vegetarian Panini, and have
a gluten-free Chocolate Gateau for those with dietary
restrictions. ‘Sunday Nights at the Teahouse’ very
special ‘by reservation’ dinners are another exciting
option. Call 403-877-7582 for dates and details.
The service at the teahouse was pleasant and
helpful, despite the opening day frenzy. The Ellis
Teahouse was cozy and charming as always, with lots
of bird décor inside and teeming with birdlife outside.
As an oasis of tranquility, beauty and wonderful flora
and fauna; Ellis Bird Farm never disappoints. Do take a
day and discover this Alberta gem. Their ad and website

July & August 2012 • 27 Multicultural Heritage Centre
Not Just a Great Place to Eat
by Jan Mather, Editor, Discovering ANTIQUES & Scott Wrenk, Multicultural Heritage Centre, Stony Plain, AB
I
n response to the Discovering Food article
in the February/March/April issue, I received
an e-mail from a new subscriber who
recommended the restaurant at the Multicultural
Heritage Centre in Stony Plain, AB. The next time I was in
the Edmonton area, I made a point of going to Stony Plain
in search of this restaurant. What I discovered however was
far more than just a great place to eat.
On entering the site, I followed a sidewalk that
meandered through grounds that were being prepared for
the spring growing season, with trees, shrubs, flower beds,
gardens and fountain ponds. There were two beautiful
old buildings ahead of me, and after crossing one of the
fountain ponds a sandwich board on my right announced
that I had found the General Store.
This unique little store is located in the Oppertshauser
House, which was built in 1910 and moved to its present
location in 1987. I couldn’t resist browsing, and inside I
found an assortment of antiques, collectibles, giftware
and souvenirs. Finally, I stopped to ask where I could find
the restaurant. I was directed to the second building, the
Multicultural Heritage Centre.
This gorgeous brick building was built in 1925, and
served as the region’s first high school. It was built using
a Scottish architectural design including a hip-gabled roof
and bell tower, and was in full operation until 1949 when
a new school was built. While used for a number of years
after that as programming and storage space, the building
gradually fell into a state of disrepair, and by 1970 was
home only to pigeons and mice. Slated for the wrecking ball,
the building was saved by a group of local residents who
came together and formed the Heritage Agricultural Society.
After extensive renovations and landscaping, the school was
reborn in 1974 as the Multicultural Heritage Centre.
The one acre site has since been declared a
Provincial Historic Site, and forms the core of the Society’s
ever expanding operations. The Heritage Agricultural
Society exists “To celebrate the region’s heritage, arts and
agricultural base through the delivery of creative programs
and services,” and boy do they ever deliver on that pledge!
Just a quick visit revealed the beautiful grounds, a
Public Art Gallery, historic buildings, museum displays,
and much more. I also learned that they host over 15,000
schoolchildren every year in a number of fieldtrip options,
operate a seasonal Farmers Market (Heritage Farmers
Market) on Saturday mornings at the town’s Heritage Park,
and have a youth drama troupe that develops and performs
their own plays that tour throughout Alberta. In addition,
they operate another large building that is home to a
number of local non-profit organizations and is surrounded
by a “demonstration farm” project which they utilize to
offer an Organic Master Gardener program.
A growing number of special events also take place,
including an Easter Egg hunt, Canada Day (which will
actually take place on June 30th this year), Festival of Trees,
and a one day event called City Slickers that brings over 1,000
children out into the countryside to learn about agriculture.
Speaking of an Agricultural Society that offers a
number of agricultural programs, what could be more
fitting than a restaurant to serve all those thousands of
visitors? Finally, the reason for my visit. I followed my nose
to the lower level of the Multicultural Heritage Centre, where
I found a cozy little restaurant known as the Homesteader’s
Kitchen. The menu offers soups that are made from scratch,
sandwiches made with bread baked fresh on site every
morning, salads using vegetables and herbs that are grown
on site (in season), quiche, and a huge selection of homemade pies.
I enjoyed a small bowl of vegetable soup, along with a
slice of that fresh baked bread. It was just like Mom used to
make on cold winter days. I had a difficult time choosing my
pie, but eventually settled on a slice of saskatoon/rhubarb
(both grown on site) to enjoy with my coffee. Delicious!
I also learned that they have begun offering breakfast
on weekends, so I will have to make my way back sometime
soon to give that a try as well. Perhaps that will give me a
chance to see everything that I missed during my first visit.
I might even bring some friends along and book one of their
guided tours of the local outdoor murals.
The Multicultural Heritage Centre is open yearround, seven days/week from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm except
for a brief closure from December 24th through January
2nd. The Centre is located at 5411- 51st Street in Stony
Plain, AB. Their phone number is (780) 963-2777, and
you can find them on the web at www.multicentre.org
Best of all, admission is free!

The World’s Favourite Rag Doll
by Dawn Marie Nokleby, Doll Club of Edmonton
W
ithout doubt, Raggedy Ann is one of
the most beloved dolls ever
produced. Believe it or not, she is fast
approaching her centennial! In spite of a
remarkable life, she certainly holds her age well!
Raggedy Ann’s creator, Johnny Barton Gruelle was
born on Christmas Day, 1880, in Arcola, Illinois. His father
was a noted American artist, Richard Gruelle. Johnny
inherited his father’s artistic abilities but took them in
a different direction. By 1910 he was a noted political
cartoonist and illustrator. Johnny and his wife Myrtle
decided to leave the mid-west and moved to the east coast
to further his career.
The Gruelle’s had three children. Their oldest child
was a daughter, Marcella, who was followed by two brothers,
Richard and Worth.
Marcella had always been a delicate child. So
when she received a contaminated smallpox vaccination,
it brought about a long and terrible illness with tragic
results.
Marcella was also a little girl who loved her dolls.
While playing in the attic at her grandmother’s, she found
an old, home-made rag doll that was faded and worn
and had possibly belonged to her maternal grandmother.
The original features were completely worn away. Since
her father was a professional illustrator, he took upon
himself the task of painting a new smiling face on the wellloved doll. He also christened her, taking her name from
two poems by the American poet James Whitcomb Riley,
‘Raggedy Man’ and ‘Orphan Annie’. And so Raggedy Ann
was born.
The doll became the constant companion of Gruelle’s
sick little daughter. To amuse her, he made up stories about
the doll, telling many adventurous tales of the little rag doll
and her friends who came to life in the nursery, but only
after everyone in the house was asleep.
In 1916 at the age of 13 Marcella Gruelle succumbed
to the effects of the infection and died. The close-knit
family was heart broken. Gruelle had patented the image
of Raggedy Ann and copyrighted the name in 1915. He
already saw potential in the tales that had entertained his
children. Now, after the loss of his beloved daughter, he
found solace in putting the stories to paper. It was a way of
staying connected to something that had brought Marcella
so much happiness.

July & August 2012 • 35 In 1917 the P.F. Volland Company of Chicago
published and distributed ‘Raggedy Ann Stories’, the first
of the 25 books that Gruelle would eventually write. As the
publishing date drew near, Volland contacted Gruelle with
a request for some replicas of the little doll to be used in
the promotion and marketing of the books. Johnny and
Myrtle, their two sons, both grandmothers and an aunt and
uncle banded together and formed a little assembly line to
produce a few dozen of the dolls. Worth Gruelle, Marcella’s
youngest brother, had the most important task of all. To
him fell the chore of making a trip to the local candy store,
searching through the bin of Candy Hearts to find enough
hearts that read “I Love You”, so that one could be inserted
in the chest of each doll.
After the publication of the first book, Volland
themselves were granted permission to arrange for the
commercial manufacture of the storybook doll. In 1919
Raggedy Andy Stories were published and Volland was also
licensed to produce this new character as well as Beloved
Belindy, another character introduced later. Volland dolls
were manufactured from approximately 1919 to 1934 when
they went out of business.
The shortest run of any of the manufacturers is that
of the Exposition Doll and Toy Manufacturing Company.
They received the rights to make the dolls in 1935. However,
that very same year another toy company began producing
unauthorized versions of the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls.
In 1935 Mollye Goldman of New York began making
dolls under the name of Mollye’s Doll Outfitters. The designs
that she used were slightly different than those used by
Volland or those concurrently being used by Exposition.
This, she felt, entitled her to apply for patents on her
designs. However, the problem she encountered was that
she was marketing these dolls under the names of Raggedy
Ann and Andy, and there was no doubt that she did not
own the rights to those names. There were also enough
similarities between her dolls and the original patented
image belonging to Johnny Gruelle that they were arguably
an infringement on his patent and she had not obtained
permission from the Gruelle Family before beginning
production. An immediate lawsuit was brought against her
by the Gruelles. The suit dragged on until 1938 when the
US Supreme Court upheld Johnny Gruelle’s 1915 patent and
issued a cease and desist order to stop production.
The design of the Mollye dolls proved more popular
than those authorized versions being produced by
Exposition. Long before the court decision was issued,
the success of Mollye’s design had put Exposition out of
business. The Mollye dolls are very rare and sought after as
they were only made for such a short time, the Exposition
dolls were produced for an even shorter time and are so
incredibly rare that they are seldom referred to and no one
wants to put a value on them! It has been estimated that
Goldman made over a million dollars profit from the sales
of the unlicensed versions. Think of that figure in terms of
what you could do with a dollar in the 1930’s!

Ann story in the next (Sept/Oct) issue of Discovering
ANTIQUES.
