Great piece & photo. Thanks for the post Brian. Some familiar model names there, but some I'd never heard of either. Dominion? McGready? I think the best was the Common Sense. There's a few folks around these days that would be well-advised to take a spin on that model lol

Dominion was a Wellandvale nameplate inherited by CCM. I sold a c.1901 ccm Dominion mens frame at last weekend's show, and there was a pre-ccm Dominion Ladies that sold too.

Thanks for the heads-up Brian. Below is the Dominion as it appeared in the 1900 Welland Vale catalogue put out by Canada Cycle & Motor.

Nice! I wish I had seen that before I sold the frame, lol.
