Following the success of a multi-year project for INCO with his mentor, Charles Comfort, Jack Bush partnered with Wiliam Winter and Leslie Wookey to form commercial art firm Wookey, Bush and Winter in 1942, setting up shop in offices at 9 Adelaide Street East in Toronto. The company, whose motto was “Design and Illustration for Discriminating Art Directors,” would be active until 1959, Bush retiring from the commercial art world less than ten years later.
