In what appears to be more of an advert than an item of genuine news the 26 year old Wildman appeared in an 1947 edition of the Daily Mirror newspaper where he claimed to be supplying canes to over 100 schools. An even more bizarre feature in the Mirror later that same year suggested a national shortage of canes for school use and that Wildman was now supplying canes to no fewer than 300 schools including those in far away places such as Uganda, Malaya, Palestine and Persia!
