BY JABEZ RANDS (As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations next year, Jabez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly column on the history of the town.) Do you remember when Clinton had the largest and most up-to-date clothing store in all of Huron County? Such a store did exist right at the main corners. It took in the present day Pricegard Store on the corner of Isaac and HurOn Streets, the vacant store to the south on Issaac Street and Al's Pizza store to the west on Huron Street. This made for a fair size store, which came into existance not too Iong after the turn of the century and operated under the name of Morrish and Crooks Clothing Store. Their motto was "A square deal for every man." The main entrance to the store, when it first opened, was in the centre of the store on Huron Street, with a very large show window on either side of it. About 1910, Mr. Crooks moved from town and the store was just called Morrish Clothing Store. In 1914, it was decided to make the store into two business places and wall was put in to divide the building into its what is now the Pricegard and Al's Pizza. The west half became at that time, Charles Connors Bake Shop and Restaurant. The clothing store became the size of the present drug store, but it still had the taxi office •included in its measurements. The 'main entrance was put in at the front corner where it is now, The clothing store sold everthing in men's and boys' clothing and no man or boy had any excuse for not being well dressed because the store had all the items necessary to make him so. The store carried .on as the Morrish,Clothing storeAmtil 1932 when .M,1;,,,Morrish thoug it wati time, to reft. Breakfast 8 ci.m. - 11 a.m. Lunch 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Coffee Brecik - 2 p.m. -.
