Aircraft CF-AM (B?E?)

I have a photograph of the above aircraft, taken in early 1930s, which appears to be providing pleasure flights. The final letter of its registration mark is obscured. The logo of Lowney's Chocolate is painted on its fuselage.

I would welcome any information about this aircraft - where/when it operated, was it operated by Lowneys or did they just sponsor it, or any other related details.

I know of the mail plane CF-AMB

Many thanks for the prompt response. Do I take it that the date 28 April 1930 is the date it entered service?

Included in the photograph is my father. I am trying to establish a time frame for his period in Canada.
