Rogers Maple Syrup. LOVE that stuff. Rogers an American had at least one walled house i remember in Vancouver (one of the family's i guess) which took up an entire large city block. I'd always thought the family made a heap of their fortune smuggling booze into America during you know what. Mouth is watering now at the thought of it., though i'm not 100% sure of the prohibition story as can't find verification of it. That said, the odds of an established sugar company in Canada at the time being involved in that tremendous money making opportunity i'd guess would be pretty solid. Ok, ha, here at least is a mansion mention:

Rogers built two of Vancouver’s signature mansions, Gabriola on Davie Street (1901) and Shannon on Granville Street (1925). Unfortunately, he didn’t live to see Shannon completed — he died of a cerebral hemorrhage on June 17, 1918, when he was only 53.
