前川 魚店
鮮魚 精肉 蒲鉾 新菜
Sengyo Seiniku Kamaboko Shinsai
Fresh Fish, Fresh Meat, Fish Paste, and Fresh Vegetables
各汽船御用達. 日本郵船指定: 御用商
Kakukisen goyoutatsu. Nihon Yuusenshitei. Goyoushou
Supplying Every Steam Boat of the Government of Japan, Specially Designated to supply the Postal Service of Japan: Government Endorsed Store
I am not clear if this business is selling to the government, or whether it is being supported by the Japanese Government at the time. The phrase Goyou is described as a purveyor, but I am not quite sure how it is being used in this case.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
