Amanda Stephenson, Calgary Herald
Published: Thursday, July 05, 2012
Anyone who thinks chuckwagons and lawyers don't mix doesn't know Calgary, or the philosophy at downtown law firm Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP. The firm, which specializes in business law and litigation, is sponsoring a chuckwagon for the first time in this year's Rangeland Derby in celebration of the 100th anniversary of its Calgary office. Just like the Stampede itself, the firm is celebrating its frontier roots and a century of community involvement.

This pamphlet it is a really good source for businesses 100 years ago because it was published in 1911 (These would, of course, be businesses that were already established by 1912):

Of the ones that jump out:
