Village Squire, 1974-01, Page 18Play along with the Village Squire game Recent years have seen a new form of business come into being: the boutique, or small cozy shop selling anything from outlandishly modern clothing to crafts to antiques. In fact, the boutique field is so varied that there are only two common denominators among boutiques: a smallness in the size of the shop and a catchy, often kooky name. Our favourite of all time is a men's wear store on Yonge Street in Toronto that specialized in the avant garde fashions. It was called "The Brick Shirt House". There is a growing demand for new names and good ones are harder to find. Let's help out potential boutique owners in the area by coming up with some catchy names. Send in the name of a boutique that you'd like to see used and the type of merchandise a store with that name would be likely to sell. Address all entries to The Game, Village Squire, Box 10, Blyth. The name judged to be best will be given a free copy of Harry J . Boyle's novel The Great Canadian Novel. Contest closes Feb. 21. Winners will appear in the March issue.
