Large, white circular White Rose sign with the flower logo. The logo consists of a black band around the outside, the words 'White Rose' in red text, and a white rose with green leaves on a yellow background. The sign is made from masonite. |
Provenance |
In 1901 the Canadian Oil Refining Company was formed in Petrolia, Ontario. By 1908 it was bought and renamed, Canadian Oil Companies Ltd. The rose logo was used starting in 1939, replacing the old "Boy and Slate" logo. A competition was held for the design of the White Rose logo depicting the actual flower. In 1962 the company was bought by Shell Canada. |
