For a number of years - the Vancouver Sun - (other papers as well?) ran a Baby Contest at the Exhibition. Title not Politically correct in our times. There were no first names listed with the information that I have. The newspapers of the day - posted info daily - with names of entrants. Thought this might be interesting - perhaps a parent - grandparent - aunt or uncle - was a Better Baby contestant. Surnames of Babies entered in the Better Babies Contest - Vancouver Exhibition - 1917. BRIDGMANS STUDIO - 413 Granville Street - Photographer. There are no given names for the children - ages range 1 month - to 24 months. Photo' does not easily separate boys and girls. Addison Alexander Anderson, A.D. Anderson, T.
