Two bright new clothing stores
have opened on Brussels’ main
street, occupying the premises
where McCutcheon Groceries
closed earlier this year.
Actually one of the new stores,
“The Fashion Boutique”, has
been in operation under that name
since mid-May, across the street
where its proprietor, Nella Blake,
formerly ran “SomeThing Spe
cial”, in partnership with Wilma
Rathwell. The joint operation
dissolved on May 15 when Mrs.
Rathwell moved to Atwood to open
her own women’s clothing store,
while Mrs. Blake remained at the
old location, but under the new
name.
The Fashion Boutique opened
its new store last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, in conjunction with a
new opeoation, “Linda’s Pre-Teen
Scene,** owned and operated by
Watering ban
in effect
The weekend’s showers may
have alleviated some of the
problem but a watering ban
remains in effect in Brussels.
Hugh Hanly, clerk-treasurer
said the ban is an indirect result of
the fire at the Brussels Legion two
weeks ago. With firemen pouring
large quantities of water on a fire
the two village pumps cannot
pump water quickly enough to
meet the demand. They need a
good buildup of water in the town
reservoir. If people are watering
however, the reserves can easily be
used up.
With the weather so dry, even a
cigarette thrown out a window can
causeafire, Mr. Hanly said. While
a total watering ban has been
posted those calling at the village
office have been given a slightly
milder version of the ban. People
have been told they can use a
hand-held hose to water their
garden, flowers or trees but to turn
it off as soon as they are finished
the job, Mr. Hanly said. Sprinklers
are not to be used because they
usually run a much longer period.
Meanwhile in Blyth an alternate
day watering policy remains in
effect. No watering can be done
during the day-time hours with
watering allowed only between
seven p.m. and seven a.m. Those
north of Dinsley Street are allowed
to water Monday, Wednesday and
Friday while those south of Dinsley
Street can water Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday.
Linda Davidson. The stores share
two halves of the same building,
but are completely separate busi
nesses in all respects, both women
say.
“Exceptthat we complement
each other,” Mrs. Davidson says.
“Nella’s clothing takes up where
mine leaves off, so together we can
outfit everybody from pre-teen
kids right up to mature women.”
Linda’s Pre-Teen Scene carries
an excellent selection of children’s
wear, both for boys and girls, in
sizes from 7 to 16, while The
Fashion Boutique continues with
woman’s wear in all sizes from
petites and misses’ to fashions for
the larger woman. Many of her
fashions are the same as the ones
she carried in SomeThing Special,
Mrs. Blake says, although she has
brought in several new lines to
better serve her growing clientele.
Both Mrs. Blake and Mrs.
Davidson are residents of Brus
sels, and Evelyn Blake will be
working part-time at Linda’s Pre-
Teen Scene, while Bonnie Jacklin
will work part-time at The Fashion
Boutique. Both new stores will be
open Tuesday to Saturday, from
9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Joy Elliott was the winner in The
Fashion Boutique’s store opening
draw for a two-piece outfit; June
Jacklin was the winner of the floral
arrangement; and Joan Exel won
the gift certificate, all drawn at
closing time on Saturday.
