| Description : | Photograph of a view from Port Hood toward the Little River. In the foreground on the right are the print shop and house owned by D.W. Jones. The building to the left of the print shop is the home of John Angus MacIsaac. A row of cars is lined up on the road from the Jones property. A large group of people are congregated in front of the Jones home. This is a copy of an original photograph from the circa 1940s. |
| Commentaires : | David William (D.W.) Jones (1872-1949) was born in Wales and emigrated to Canada with his family in the early 1900s. He came to Port Hood in 1914 in response to an advertisement to run the Port Hood Greetings. After the Greetings folded in 1926 he established his own print shop and worked under the name The Only Printer Jones. He assumed the name Only Jones from the fact that his family was the only Jones on the county electoral list at the time. In the County in Wales where he was born there thousands of Jones. |
| Fonctions : | The donor was the grandson of David William Jones (1872-1949) who operated a print shop in Port Hood. He would sometimes make postcards out of photographs. The original photo this print is made from belonged to D.W. Jones. It passed on to his son and then to his grandson who made this copy for the Chestico Museum. |
