and the magazine's indicia, it was located at 1010 St. Catherine Ste. West in Montreal Suite 640 of the Dominion Square Building. The same building as the Montreal Gazette. The Suite 640 address is derived from the Gazette officielle du Québec but the magazine’s indicia give a suite number of 110 which is not listed in the Gazette officielle du Québec nor is it listed in Lovell’s city directories. An examination of the Lovell’s city directories of Montreal from 1973- 1975 found no listing for a Cadence Comics Publications. Although in the 1972- 1973, 1973- 1974, 1974- 1975 and 1976 directories the firm of Klein, Schecter & Roth, Advocates are listed as occupying suite 640. This is interesting as the lawyer representing Cadence Comics Publications at its surrender of its charter is a Milton L. Klein.

Why the Montreal location for what looks like a standard Marvel Magazines of the time period?
Mike Nielsen commented:
"Nothing more than speculation, but I wonder if Canadian newsstand/subscriptions were handled by an office in Montreal for tax/mail cost reasons. Has this been seen anywhere but the b&w magazines?
And Jim Stangas suggested;
"This is way out of left field and probably has nothing to do with Marvel's actions, but a "newsprint strike" in 1973 resulted in a paper shortage in the U.S. Maybe a Montreal office was opened to take advantage of available paper from the Canadian mills?
A March '74 publication date means the mags were likely printed in late '73.
The paper shortage was something that affected a lot of publishers -- I remember my local newspaper having to print the Sunday comics temporarily in black & white in a much reduced size."
