Glooscap Windfield ad, 22 July 2008
Advertisement: The Glooscap Wind Field Inc.
The Kentville Advertiser, 22 July 2008

ICS comment:—
This advertisement (above) includes significant information
about the financial arrangements of this incorporated company
– thus one could reasonably expect that the management would
see that care was taken to get the details right.

However, this ad displays a remarkable level of sloppiness
about the legal name of the company!

The company name is shown four times in this ad.  It is shown
three times as "Glooscap WindField..." (WindField as one word)
and once as "Glooscap Wind Field..." (Wind Field as two words).

The legal name as reported by the Registry of Joint Stock Companies
is: "The Glooscap Wind Field Inc." (Wind Field as two words).
The fully correct legal name appears nowhere in this ad.
