History
"...Perpetua Furniture, in the South Granville district of Vancouver, established by Peter Cotton and his partner, Alfred Staples, in 1951 ... The modest wood and wrought-iron chairs and tables he designed for Perpetua ... appealed to the retail buying public as well as to architects" (Wright, p. 136).
