However the Shirat department stores combine the two aspects; they are a `chain' with family ties. At the moment there are just two atones in the chain, Wingham and Clinton, but buying together still gives them some purchasing advantages. The Wingham store, owned by Bob and Marg Sauve, is an off -shoot of the one in Clinton, owned and operated by Shirley and Alf Mathefs; the name `Shirai' is a com- bination of their Christian names. Mr. Sauve explains he got his start in the retail business when he married. Alf Mathers, his f4kther-in4aw, invited him to buy into the business and in early 19773 he opened a storein Lucknow, the Sepoy Variety. Later that year he sold out and opened the Shirat store in Wingham, although his wife continued to manage the Lucknow store until it closed last year. Basically he moved to Wingham because there was an empty, shop available, it was Close to the other two stores and he expected . it to be a "busy, busy town", with all its in- dustry and population. Five years later he said he has been satisfied with the business, although he noted the economy as a whole has been poor and this reflects in his business. Inflation has driven up the prices of mer- chandise --a sweater which retailed for seven or eight dollars a few years ago is now $17 to $18—and people have less money to spend. He said the store handles basic lines of department store merchandise and noted that because it is an independlent and not locked into one supplier it can sometimes beat other stores on price. It carries the same lines as a Kresge or K -Mart, only on a smaller level. These stores used to be called `five and dime' stores, he commented, but there is really no such thing anymore. The two Shirai stores operate completely independently, Mr. Sauve added. although in many cases it pays to do their buying together. He manages the Wingham store with Ethna Will as a full-time employee and Sheila Burke working part-time.
