Eaton's also used its Winnipeg store to dominate the catalogue sales market west from Winnipeg. From 1900 to 1914, over 1,000,000 immigrants and hundreds of thousands of Canadian-born migrants settled Canada's Prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. As theses provinces boomed, so did Eaton's Winnipeg store.

mctaggart67,

great thread! I started collecting poisons some 5 years ago and have been lucky enough to actually dig a couple, one being marked as a T. Eaton Co. 1 oz. I have collected many other poisons since then, many Canadian and this information has really helped in identifying them.

Here is another of my recent aquisitions. This is a KI-5.... 3 1/4".
It has the same basic shape and embossing as the KI-4 that I posted above BUT in addition to a screw top the embossed words "CARBOLIC ACID" are missing from the front panel. This one has a label that reads "carbolic acid".

SO........ in later years was this bottle also used for other poisons other than carbolic acid (at the pharmacists descretion)???

Here is the "carbolic Acid" label from the larger flat panel.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. The screwcap Canadian Coffins, without any embossing on the front panel, were for general use, so it's not surprising to see a carbolic acid label on them. As to the Ontario College of Pharmacy ("OCP") "Acid Carbs," they were phased out of production around 1920 or so, as far as I can determine, when Dominion Glass focussed upon producing only "Not To Be Taken" ABMs in various sizes, with 1, 2 and 3 ounce being the most common. If memory serves me right, there is a 2-ounce ABM "OCP" "Acid Carb" variant, but they are hard to locate.
