Canadian cartoonist Lou Skuce (1886-1952) was one of our premier cartoonist, here's a link to a story about his life and most everything you'd want to know about his career,

as mentioned in the story he did a set of what we now call coasters for the O'keefe's brewery featuring O'Keefe's Stone Ginger Beer, here's the four I have,

as noted in the linked story he also did some work for National Breweries for their Black Horse Ale brand, here's the three single sided ones that I have,

not mentioned in the article is the work he did for Canada Bud and City Club Breweries, perhaps one of his trade off deals? This group is a two sided coaster circa early 30's,
