Chan, Bob
Bob Chan (fl. c. 1964 - 1968) was a Chinese-American San Francisco based illustrator active in the 1960s. Chan produced illustrations for private firms and for the San Francisco Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. Chan is listed in the San Francisco directory in 1967 as working out of 842 Washington Street, which was then the Chan Family Benevolent Association and Temple. He may have been related to Robert Jayne, owner of Jin-A-Graphics Printing Company of San Jose and Santa Clara. We have identified a Po Dah Chan of San Francisco, who became a U.S. citizen in 1964, changing his name to Bob Chan. It unclear whether or not they are one and the same.
