The store had a cashier who sat up on another level and, if you recall, they had a line from each counter on which travelled a small money car. The clerk made out your bill and pulled a lever with your cash inside the car. It went to the central cashier who made your change, receipted the bill and it came back to the counter clerk once again. You can't imagine the amazement for myself and all the people to see this in a store in Lucknow during First World War times. Right above the store, which is now living quarters, was a dress -making shop. The lady in charge of this shop was Miss Annie Boyd. Next to the dress- makers was the Oddfellows and Rebec- cas Hall. Downstairs next to the main store was a grocery store operated Mr. D.C. McMorran who was the town band leader and taught, many, many people to play on stringed instruments of all kinds and also horns and drums, etc. The next tenant. was, Mr. Lloyd Ashton who opened and operated a tot and teen shop as well as travelling to outside stores selling lines of children's wear, Then came the shop which is now the Cut and Curl Shop. Dr. J.E. Little.: operated a dentists shop for years. The next store now occupied by the Lucknow Sentinel was at one time the post officeand later a drug store operated by Gord Taylor and then a shoe shop operated by Garfield and Lorne MacDonald. Later, it was again a drug store operated by Elmer Umbach. A large part of the next store was the William Johnstone and sons Funeral and Furniture store. This was followed by the Murdie and Sutherland Hard- ware for many, many years. Reg Jones operated this store with he and his wife selling small wares and refurnished furniture. Then came Tony Johnston and his brothers with a stationary and gift shop. Clarence Greer Electric operated out of this store for some time. Next to this building is the Joynt Block. The store now occupied by Beckers has' had many different grocers over the years. Owners of the grocery store in the past included the Bogues, Robinson Wood, Thos. Smith, the Barbers, Mr. Robert H. Thompson and Henry and Marion Donais. Then, where the health office is now was formerly Joynt's, Shoe Store and later the Sentinel office. Next to the shoe store was Mr. Conrad Decker Gents furnishings and tailor-made suits. A real craftsman! Mrs. Gina Smith worked for Mr. Decker for years as a seamstress. Upstairs, above the SPECIAL ORT health office, was John Joynt's office operated by Mr. Robert Johnston. On the other side of the stairs, Dr. R.L. Treleaven had his dentist shop and, in the latter years, it was occupied by Mr. R.W. Andrew, Barrister and Solicitor and Attorney -At -Law. Next to the Decker store was a shop owned by Dr. A.M. Spence who operated a drug store and the local Bell Telephone office, the switchboard being in the rear. of the store. I well remember this as I worked for some time as a night operator. There was a table in the rear of the shop you pulled up between the coils and the board and a mattress was supplied for you to sleep in between calls in the night. But, the day nearly always started around 4:30 a.m., the first calls going out to the farmers by W.E. Henderson, Drover. The day operator came in around 8:30 a.m. They took care of the board until 10 p.m. Mr. Fraser Patterson carried on after the death of Dr. A.M. Spence for some years. The next building belonged to A.T, Davison and Son Furniture and Funeral. Next to this, where the .MacKenzie arid McCreath Funeral Home is now located, was the barber shop operated by Mr. Thos. Watson. Many a young man learned the barber trade under Thos. Watson. Later it was taken over by Wiliam Davison. Then there was an alley between Davison's Store and the town bridge over the Lucknow River. Four stores were located at this point. which is now also occupied by the MacKenzie -McCreath Funeral Home. One store 'was Mrs. Harry Mc- Creath's milliver shop which later became the town office . Then later, this was the office of the Lucknow Saw Mill Co. Next to this business was Goy Ming's Laundry. This was the day and age of white shirts and celluloid collars and a lot of laundry. As well, Goy Ming did a good deal of Cain House laundry. This shop was later . a barber shop operated by Mr. Harry McCreath, and later the shop of Mr. LeRoy Horn, also a barber. The Temple Clark Tailor Shop and Eva Greer Handicrafts were the last business to operate on this section. The building which is now the home of Mrs. Gordon Fisher was at one time a dry goods store operated by A. Blitzs- tein. Bain's Groceteria was at one time the home of the Lucknow Sentinel which later became a tinsmith shop operated by Cousins and Drinkwalter. Then, it reverted back to a grocery store owned by Ivan Lauzon and later by Cyril Brown.
