The following item appeared on page 1 of the 26 Jun 1924 Simcoe Reformer newspaper

Mr. Bruce D. McCall, son of the late D. W. McCall of Vittoria, who died in 1900* is home on a visit to his mother who now lives in Simcoe.

It is twenty years since Bruce left for the West and he certainly looks as though the West agreed with him. Like his father before him he is passionately fond of bass fishing and has timed his holiday visit home to enable him to visit the old fishing haunts in the bay where the big ones are found.

He has been in big business out west. He has spent five years in Chicago, five in Winnipeg, five in Vancouver, and four years ago he joined the Millar, Backus interests in the search for oil and other big projects in Alberta.

At the present time he is connected with Prairie Oils Limited, and has given the Reformer some interesting details regarding the manufacture of carbon black which this company is about to undertake on its fields north of Edmonton.
