I recently got a great deal on this wartime era Maple Leaf Gardens program. It was issued for a wrestling event on June 4, 1942 and pictures two gorgeous lady wrestlers on the cover. The lineup page in the middle of the program is below.
The neat thing about this program is that it's chock-full of war related advertisements. The folks at Bee Hive Corn Syrup offered map-away photos of the Royal Air Force planes in addition to hockey players of the day.
In addition, Crown Brand Corn Syrup (Canadians sure ate a lot of corn syrup back then) also offered pictures of "Britain's Famous Fighting Planes and Warships".
General Electric advertised their many contributions toward the war effort below.
In hockey related advertising, CCM listed the hockey winners of the 1940/41 campaign and noted that 95% of players used CCM sticks and skates.
The rear cover even pictured the Sweet Caporal girl cavorting with a friendly G.I. to wrap up the wartime themed program.
