BILLBOARDS OF THE GREAT LAKES PART III by Rev. Peter J. Van der Linden Colonial Steamships Ltd. Although the Matthews SS. Co. did not use billboards, its successors, Colonial Steamships Ltd. and Scott Misener Steamships Ltd., did briefly during World War II. During that period, BAYTON and VISCOUNT BENNETT carried the slogan "BACK THE ATTACK, BUY VICTORY BONDS". A rare photo of the later is shown below. In recent years, most of the modern ships in this fleet have had the billboard "MISENER TRANSPORTATION" emblazoned on their sides.
