  • Notes 
    • STATUS: Photo supplier.
    • BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: According to the 1911 Canada census he immigrated in 1883. A family tree on Ancestry.ca indicates that before moving to Vancouver he lived in Ontario and Quebec. In 1908 he advertised himself as the proprietor of a photo supply firm. By 1911 he was the sales manager of an unidentified non-photographic firm at 365 Water St. in Vancouver. In 1912 he was listed in the business directory as a salesman for the Shaw Brothers, Limited. He managed the British Canadian Photo Supply, Limited in 1913 and 1914. By 1915 he had partnered with P.G. Stewart in a new wholesale photo supply firm, Chandler and Stewart. The firm was sold to his partner while Chandler went on to represent the California Card Manufacturing Company in 1916 and 1917.

      He moved to California, likely in 1919, and applied to become a US citizen. In the 1920s he visited Honolulu, HI, Havana, Cuba, and Florida.
