Hub identification

I'm pretty sure this is a Raleigh hub but can't seem to find a similar image to confirm on the off chance it is not. Has anyone seen this stamp before? Thank you, Daryl

Replacement Ball Bearings

Hi,  I am working on some bike projects, and was wondering what people recommend for replacement ball bearings.  Bearings Canada sells them online, and they are quite inexpensive.  They sell carbon steel, chrome steel and stainless bearings.  I asked the company to tell me what the hardest and softest metals are, and the response was that "they are all about the same."  Obviously, I don't want to use bearings that are harder than the steel of the bike components.

Venture bicycle manufacturer?

This is a Venture Aero Formula 112 and it may have been sold be Zellers or another department store.

It has some decent components on it like Shimano Adamas AX crankset, pedals,downtube shifters and front deraileur

Simano Tourney alloy center pull brake calipers, Suntour 6sp. freewheel and rear deraileur.

It has chrome bars, seatpost, hubs, and 27"rims.

It seems like a well made bike. I don't know if the components are original or not.

I originally planned to fix it up and flip it but It rides so well and fits me so I will keep it.
