Home Place supplies lies
furnishingand decorating
The Home Place, one of Wingham's newest
and biggest retail stores, can provide vir-
tually everything a customer could want in
the way of home furnishings or decorating
supplies. Two separate businesses, The Decor
Shoppe and Middleton's Home Furnishings,
share its 12,000 square feet, making it the
area's most complete furnishing and
decorating centre.
The new building was put up at the corner of
Josephine and Victoria streets as a joint
venture by Bob Middleton of Middleton's
Home Furnishings and Murray Gerrie of The
Decor Shoppe in 1976-7I. The building itself
won a design award for the attractive way in
which the front was finished off.
The Decor Shoppe, which occupies the right
side of The Home Place, got its start in 1966
when Mr. Gerrie bought Elmer Wilkinson's
paint and wallpaper business. At that time the
business was located in the centre of town, in
the building which now houses Snyder Studio,
and it continued to operate from that location
for the next 10 years until it moved into the
new building.
Carpet is his biggest seller dollar -wise, Mr.
Gerrie said, but he also stocks a large
selection of hard -surface flooring, paint and
wallpaper and, as far as he knows, The Decor
Shoppe is the only place between Kitchener
and Owen Sound to stock ready-made drapes.
A customer can choose among more than
300 patterns m wallpaper sod almost 2,000
shades and colors of point, as well as the
offerings of ;sll the major manufacturers in
carpet and other' flooring. S
In addition to Mr. Gerrie and his wife,
Frances, Patti Robertson is employed to work
in the shop. Doug Lapp, "who's been with me
since I started and was there 19 years before
that", looks after the installation of paint,
paper and drapes, Mr. Gerrie said, and Dan
Bruce of Owen Sound is subcontracted to
install carpeting.
MIDDLETON'S
HOME FURNISHINGS
Middleton's Home Furnishings got its start
when Bob Middleton bought out Walker's
Home Furnishings six years ago. It operated
until 1977 at a location beside the" Wingham
Medical Centre on Josephine Street, in a
building which has recently been torn down,
and then moved into The Home Place.
The business handles a complete line of
home furnishings as well as accessories such
as lamps, oil paintings and reproductions and
baby furniture. About 150 suites are on
display in the large showroom.
Mr. Middleton is the head salesman for the
business while his wife, Joan, handles the
bookkeeping. Norma Brenzil and Hilda
Brown work there part-time and Jay
MacLaurin and David Church look after
deliveries, also on a part -times basis.
