History / Biographical
John D. (Jack) Anderson, 1917-1964, was a businessman at Banff, Alberta, Canada. He was born and raised in Banff and in 1940 entered business with his father, J. D. Anderson Sr., in the J. D. Anderson Store and, in 1941, in the British Woollen Shop. By 1951, Jack Anderson controlled both businesses. Anderson was an avid photographer and an early advocate of natural colour photography. In 1945, this interest brought Jack Anderson into partnership with Bill Gibbons in the Banff-based British Photographic Laboratories of Canada. Anderson was active in numerous community organizations, including the Banff Kinsmen Club, Banff Rotary Club, the Junior and Banff Chambers of Commerce, Banff Indian Days and Banff Ski Runners and helped organize several Canadian and international ski championships. Anderson and his wife, Annabel, raised their family in Banff.
