Attractively Designed Store Gives Maximum Window Display.

On the ﬁrst of January 1893. 44 years ago, the firm of Moore & Mc- Leod opened for business in one small store on the present location- Tliey had taken over the business and staff of Perkins 8a Stcrns. The first. partners were Mr. G- M. Moore and Mr. S. A. McLeod. The follow- ing year Mr. W. A. Stewart and Mr. J- P. Gordon were admitted to the firm. All had been employed previouoly with Perkins 8.: Sterns. The four men are still active in the business and are to be seen any busine=s day, hard at work.

As business increased the firm bought, out the adjoining building at that time occupied by Goff Bros- Now in addition to the two bulld- ings, which have been combined in- to one. the firm occupies the two upper floors of the building to the north.

Whcii Moore 6a McLeod opened

' , twice a year for ten consecutive

ibiriiiess in 1893 the whole staff. including members of the firm. numbered nine; now the staff numbers forty.

Some idea of the business that has been built; up through the years may be gained when it. is Iezirned that. sales during December 1936 were $10,000 greater than» the txtal sales during the first year oi l; isiness.

The heads or the firm too, have wittiosx-crl almost. revolutionary changes in the dry goods lllhlllflz». When Mi‘. Moore and Mr. McLeod began business towards the close of the 19th ceutiuy there was not n ladies ready to iwar dres or coat made in Canada although thcrc was

a small concern making ladies wliitc- ,

wear. Conscqncittlv most of the Indies goods were bought in Europe-

Meirs clothing tnanufacturing was fairly well (‘sl-abli herl but the

1iallty of the goods was not high 185$.

Mr. McLeod who did the buying. made his first trip to Europe in 1893, the year the firm opened, and c iitinued to ci-cs the Atlantic

yxirs.

Meanwhile Canadian manufactur- ing industries were growing and for nine years following 1903 Mr- Mc- tLeod crossed only once a. year. By 1911 the firm was able to buy it"- requlrements in this country and

-. iblack

after that. year the buying trips to -

Europe were discontinued. In all ,Mr. McLeod made 58 crossings of the Atlantic. ,

In 1916 the firm was made a limited liability company and the late Mr- C. S. Drew made a director. lOn hi; death Mr. Fred Moore W85 admitted to the directorate.

Composing the present board of directors are: Messrs. G. M» Moore.

' president; Mr. S. A. McLeod. vice-

president; Mr. J. P. Gordon, sec- retary treasurer: and Mr. W. A. Stewart and Mr. G. F. Moore.

Having celebrated 44 years of

which had won its envied position in the community, and entered upon an extensive re-modelling of its always up-to-date store.

The entire front from foundation -to coping was taken down and re- I placed with a. modern front. Black Vltrolite with silver trim was used on the first story and faced brick on the second and third. With the new show windows and entrances the front. is among the finest in the Maritime Provinces.

A brick partition between tin two buildings composing the Slflli‘ was removed and a. large steel beam used for support. making possible a
