Product sheet from National Yo-Yo Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario. See an example of the Pro Tournament version 1, Pro Tournament version 2, Olympic, Jewelled Satellite, and Yo-Yo Top Replacement Strings pack. The string pack pictured on the sheet is 2 strings for 15¢. That places the sheet about 1972-73.
Back in the late 60s and into the 1970s, what Duncan Yo-Yo was to the United States, National Yo-Yo was to Canada. An important difference, however, was that the term "yo-yo" was--and still is today--a registered trademark in Canada. In addition, National was selling only wooden yo-yos that were manufactured in Sweden by Elfverson & Co. They had not yet begun selling plastic yo-yos, unlike Duncan.
Back of sheet is blank.
For an interesting, abbreviated history of Elfverson yo-yos in Canada, see the following website (last accessed on October 5, 2015):
