Is V153 really Canadian and V?

Greg, I did find a little information in old newspapers that might be helpful.

Like you I didn't find any Robertson Candy Co. in Canada from the correct timeframe but there were a few ads for a Robertson's candy in Canadian newspapers in 1909.

I found several ads/clippings for Robertson Candy Co. in New York papers here's one from 1909 and one from 1918

I only found one ad for Robertson-Bradshaw it was from 1918 and it was in a New York paper

What I found on the Crown Sweets is interesting, I found this in the New York Times from 1908

and I found this in the New York Times from 1910 where Bradshaw filed a suit against Crown Sweets

While I was researching I also found where an individual had a case in supreme court against Bradshaw but I didn't save it and I couldn't find it again.

I found it, I'm not sure if it's the same Edward Bradshaw but it's a clipping from the Buffalo Courier December 20 1911.
