James Findlay Frame was an Americanborn merchant and political figure in Manitoba. He represented Dennis from 1892 to 1895 in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Conservative.
He was born in New York City, the son of John Frame and Mary Findlay, both natives of Scotland, and was educated in Simcoe County, Ontario, at Williamsville Academy in New York and at a business college in Poughkeepsie, New York. After completing his schooling, Frame operated a sawmill in Glencairn until 1876. During the American Civil War, he served in the Collingwood company which protected the American border against possible raids. Frame came west to Winnipeg in 1882, soon afterwards settling in Virden. There, he established a general hardware and lumber business in partnership with G. N. Miller. Frame served as reeve of the Rural Municipality of Wallace from 1887 to 1891. In 1888, he married Abbey E. Layton. Frame was defeated when he ran for reelection to the Manitoba assembly in 1896.
