Vancouver Facts John Deighton was born in the port town of Hull, England, in 1830, though he spent his early years at sea. A voracious storyteller and lusty talker, the barrel-chested Deighton was given the nickname Gassy Jack. Gassy Jack worked on a clipper going to San Francisco during the Gold Rush, then spent time in Hong Kong and in England before returning to North America for good. After a fruitless search for gold, he ended up heading north to New Caledonia (now Bri...tish Columbia). He had no luck there either, but spent time piloting river steamships and dreaming of owning a bar. In 1867, Gassy Jack opened the Globe Saloon to satisfy the thirsty workers of a mill, cleverly persuading them to build the shack in return for a sort of happy hour of free whiskey. Despite setbacks, Deighton was sure that the Burrard Inlet would become a harbor in time. So, with family and whiskey barrels in hand, he became the patriarch of the community that slowly built up here. The area became known as Gastown after him, though it was officially named Grainville in 1870. The town’s official status meant Gassy Jack now had no formal land agreement for his bar, which wound up getting demolished. He then built the Deighton Hotel, a grand, two-story affair with a billiard room and large bar. . . . . . . #vancouver #vancouverprintshop #labelprinting #yvr #dailyhive #printing #branding #graphicdesign #customprinting #offsetprinting #digitalprinting #printitgo #vancity #design #print #downtownvancouver #dailyhivevan #productlabels #whistler #northvancouver #eastvan #conventioncenter #canucks #whitecaps #gassyjack #gastown #mygastown #gastownhistory #johndeighton

Printing Facts | 03 Benjamin Franklin was introduced to the art of printing and journalism by his brother James. He started working with him as an apprentice when he was 12, Benjamin signed an indenture for his apprenticeship which bounded him until he turned 21 and only then he could earn wages. In 1721 James Franklin founded the New England Courant; the second newspaper in America, the first one was the Boston Newsletter. Silence Dogood was the pen name Franklin used to pub...lish articles in the New England Courant Young Benjamin was in charge of setting the letters for the printer and sell newspapers door to door but what he really wanted to do was to write and knew his brother would object. One day it occurred to him to write an anonymous article under the pseudonym of Silence Dogood. James was impressed and published the letters. From April to October 1722 he submitted 14 Dogood letters which were well received and published by the Courant. Dogood was a fictitious character, the widow of a country minister, an Enemy to Vice, and a Friend to Virtue. She abhorred arbitrary government and unlimited power. . . . . . . . . #vancouver #vancouverprintshop #labelprinting #yvr #dailyhive #printing #branding #graphicdesign #customprinting #offsetprinting #digitalprinting #printitgo #vancity #design #print #downtownvancouver #dailyhivevan #productlabels #whistler #northvancouver #eastvan #conventioncenter #canucks #whitecaps #printingfacts #benjaminfranklin #printinghistory #benjaminfranklinprinting #print

No single individual can be named as the inventor of the halftone photomechanical process. William Henry Fox Talbot (British, 18001877) invented and patented his use of textile screens in 1852. Talbot, Georg Meisenbach (German, 18411912), Frederic Ives (American, 18561937), and Max Levy (American, 18571926) can be considered major contributors to the development of the halftone printing process. Shown here is the first printed photo using a halftone in a Canadian periodic...al, October 30, 1869. . . . . . . . . #vancouver #vancouverprintshop #labelprinting #yvr #dailyhive #printing #branding #graphicdesign #customprinting #offsetprinting #digitalprinting #printitgo #vancity #design #print #downtownvancouver #dailyhivevan #productlabels #whistler #northvancouver #eastvan #conventioncenter #canucks #whitecaps #halftone #halftoneimage #williamhenryfox #canadianperiodical #printhistory See more

Vancouver Facts Also known as the First Narrows Bridge, the Lions Gate Bridge was built by the Guinness family the Irish beer barons to provide access to the north shore of the city. The Guinnesses had purchased 4,000 acres in what is now West Vancouver for $18.75 an acre and were busy developing it. Bridge construction started in 1937 and was completed the following year for just under $6 million. The bridge originally had two lanes.... To recover their construction costs the Guinness family had toll booths installed at the north end of the bridge. When the tolls were instituted, a weekly auto ticket cost $1.25, pedestrians paid 7.5 cents per crossing and cars were 25 cents (plus 5 cents per extra passenger). As West Vancouver grew, demand on the span increased and in 1952 the two lanes were divided into three. Hair-raisingly, the centre lane was controlled by a blinking amber light and was for passing in either direction. 1952 was also the year toll revenues had finally covered cost of construction. The Guinness family sold the bridge to the provincial government in 1955 though the tolls continued until 1963. I guess we paid for the bridge twice.

Printing Facts | 02 The Incredible Hulk's green skin color was initially due to a mistake in the printing process? In the debut of Stan Lee's comic book series "The Incredible Hulk," Lee gave the Hulk a gray skin color to purposely disassociate the monster with any particular ethnic group. However, there were problems with the gray coloring, which resulted in a different-hued Hulk in each copy. Some of copies were green and, when Lee saw them, he decided that green suited the... Hulk better than gray. . . . . . . #vancouver #vancouverprintshop #labelprinting #yvr #dailyhive #printing #branding #graphicdesign #customprinting #offsetprinting #digitalprinting #printitgo #vancity #design #print #downtownvancouver #dailyhivevan #productlabels #whistler #northvancouver #eastvan #conventioncenter #canucks #whitecaps #theincrediblehulk #thehulk #stanlee #stanleecomics #marvel See more
