Picture
Liquor store and employee. Front and centre in the picture is a tartan patterned jacket worn by staff in Liquor Control Board stores (at least for a period in the late 1960s). Earl K. Ward designed this tartan as the official B.C. tartan - in use since 1966, officially adopted in 1974 - the five colours in the tartan are symbolic: blue - ocean; white - dogwood; green - forests; red - maple leaf; gold - crown and sun. A sewn on Liquor control Board badge with the provincial flag is on the front of the jacket; also on the front is a nametag, with two indistinquishable initials and the last name 'Young' on it. See file #2003.22.1114A - the file on the actual jacket. See file 2003.22.1115B for the envelope it came in - and information provided.
