Heritage Value
In 1935 the announcement that the California-based Standard Oil Company was going to build a huge "million dollar" refinery in Burnaby was greeted with cheers by residents who were eager for employment and good news during the Great Depression. The refinery, named Stanovan (aka: Standard Oil - Vancouver) was officially opened in 1936 with the ability to produce 2000 barrels per day. During World War Two, the capacity of the refinery doubled to assist in the war effort. In 1976, the company's name was changed to Chevron Canada Limited.

Description
Woman's suit, c.1917. Black silk brocade with a large collar decoration of ivory wool with black lace. Long sleeves with wool and lace cuffs, ankle length skirt. The neckline of the jacket has a large flat triangular ivory wool collar with black floral lace applique. On the back bodice there is an overlapping extension of the collar in a large square shape. The jacket opens in centre front with five self fabric buttons, ending slightly below the natural waistline. A belt that starts at the natural waistline, between the last two buttons, from the side front seams and continuing around the back. It is tacked to the jacket in several places. The sleeves are long with ivory wool cuffs that reach up to a point on the outside, and a black floral lace applique. The jacket is constructed so as to flare out from the waist. At each side front, there are two panels with a godet in between them. There are four back panels, with a godet on either side of the two centre back panels. There are also two godets at each side seam. There was originally off-white silk brocade, but it was replaced with silk charmeuse in restoration as the original lining was disintegrating. On the inside edge of the front closure, there is a facing under the buttons that continues around the back of the neckline in a thin strip. The shoulder seams are also set further into the back of the jacket. The skirt is made of seven gores, unlined. The front is somewhat gathered. The waistband has a grosgrain ribbon, and closes in the back with two hooks and eyes. the rest of the opening closes with six snaps. The hem extends to the ankles, and the seams are finished by pinking.
Object History
The suit belonged to the mother-in-law of a friend of the donor, named Dougan from Montana. It went to California from there, then British Columbia.
