Brunswick Press
The University Press of New Brunswick Ltd., known also as Brunswick Press or University Press, was created by letters patent, issued in Fredericton on 22 December 1950, and gazetted on 10 January 1951, with a capital stock of $500,000 (later increased to $1M in March 1951 and rumoured to have been bankrolled by Lord Beaverbrook).

The Press was incorporated for the purpose of printing, publishing, stimulating the graphic arts, and carrying out the trade of printing and publishing books, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, and decorative works of all kinds. The Press absorbed Fredericton's McMurray Book and Stationery Company and the T. Amos Wilson printing firm, owned and operated by Harry W. Wilson. Despite its name, the Press had no affiliation with the University of New Brunswick. Its headquarters was on Queen Street, Fredericton, in the Barbour Building (later known as the Gleaner building), at the corner of Phoenix Square.
