HEN THIS BUSINESS was moved in 1901 from the smaller
W wooden building where it was founded in 1874 to the spacious
brick store then prepared for it, everyone considered that We had
room enough for all time to come. Ten years have elapsed. To some extent they have been years of commercial uncertainty to a large portion of the busi- ness world. Yet our Island Province (in conjunction with the rest of Canada) has through it all stood firm on the road to prosperity and is even now filled with the promise of plenty. So_i_tl1as been with this store. The past ten years have seen the business expanding in 'a most -re_niafkable"iiianner so that the building of 1901 has proved to be entirely too small for the business of I _ii
________,___ 9
We have been obliged to reach out fo_r~niore room and the
adjoining our main building (known as the Crabbe Block) has been secured and fitted up in the most modern way. With this addition we now have one of the largest, one of the most up-to-date, and one of the most convenient and best lighted stores in the Maritime Provinces. m___~*
extendoim-_gratibtTf:Eo£nr many rriends who by their co-operation
and patronage have made this move necessary. Their implicit confidence in the business has always been considered one of its inost valued assets and one of the corner stones on which it rests. With a continuance of tlgszmfid- ence, which we shall always strive to retain, the splendid facilities we now have for handling our rapidly increasing trade and the open door this organi-_
zation holds to the bigger markets of the world, we lookToriv§d to a period of still more wonderful progress. _
