"Home Gas here offers you a map sensational!!
British Columbia is the province shewn.
And when you're feeling thoroughly vacational.
Pay us a visit and treat the place like home."

Little biographical information is available online on Peter Hugh Page. Page authored several maps of Vancouver and Victoria during the end of the 1930's. Page's best known work is likely his map of Stanley Park, published in two editions, one before the construction of the Lion's Gate Bridge, the other shortly after. Page's greatest work I am aware of is the spectacular "Roadmap of British Columbia Highways" he authored in 1936 for Home Gas.
