The following item from the Sault
Ste, Marie, Ont. Star of Jan. 4th, re-
fers to two former'Staffa boys, whose
father, 'Joseph 'Bryan, was a tailor
here. '
The Soo Star published the fol-
lowing. "The recently reported ver-
ger of 'twenty-five Ontario depart-
ment stores in which tBryans Limited t
were
named as
one,is today
confirm-
ed by Messrs, J.' H. and W. E. S.
Bryan. In ,an interview the Star -
learns that the Canadian Depart,ineet
Stores, Limited, have 'bought out the.
entire' business inclining both the
ISSUE No, 2
that
stock -in -trade and the store premises,
representing a purchase price of
$210,000, This transaction includes
'one of the largest real estate. trans-
fers that has taken place in Queen
street property for several years.
"This is the first merger of its kind
in Canada, forming as it does a chain
of department stores every ouc of
which has been in successful opera-
tion, Bryans limited is the youngest'
of the 25 stores in the merger, The
'Sault firm has been in business for
13 years, but the average for the
whole number of stores is 40 years.
"The objects of the merger as re-
cently staled by the president of the
merger company, Mr. 'G, H. Rennie,
is to effect economies in operation
and overhead 'and 'by mass volume of
distribution, Mr, .Rennie was until re-
cently the assistant general manager
of 'the Robert ;Sbnpson Company, To
ionto.
'Bryan Brothers have been in busi-
ness nearly fourteen years, having
bought the business of Mactcays Lim-
ited in 1913, since which lime they
made steady and consistent progress,
"The Messrs. 'Bryan rvi11 continue
as�i anagers of the local store. Mr.
J. H. 'Bryan has been a resident of
Sault Ste.•Marie for 20 years, .•having
beenconnectedwith the business fot
merly conducted by Mr. 'R. G. Pratt.
Mr. W. E. S. 'Bryan, however, did not
come to the city'till Bryans Limited
was launched:
"Brgans Limited started with three
clerks and one` store, in July, 1913.
The adjoining store was added in
1919, and in 1923, the whole place was
remodelled and enlarged, the interior
being :finished artistically in oak.
With a modern lighting system, and
a store front,thatequals any store in
any Ontario •city, the•local store
strikes the visitor 5.5 not only a really
beautiful place of business but one
it would be difficult to suggest
any improvements for.
"The floor space available is 7,500
feet, and the layout and display equip-
ment is equal to that of any store in
ny city the size of the Sault any-
where,
`Emerson wrote that a successful
business "is 'but the lengthened sha-
ow of a man," 'Success, the philoso-
her thinks, is Trot accidental, but the
exult of competency and hard work,
robably Mr. Emerson would agree
n the case of Bryans Limited that
oth the brothers contributed to the
emarkable ttpbuilding of the firm.
"'We always took a Hopeful view,'
aicl Messrs, 'Bryan, 'and sometimes
loved a little faster than some
fends thougg•ht wise. But we always

anee:, and we believe that it pays

Mr. J. H. Bryan, the elder brother
mentioned above, began his coo-
mercia•l career in Mr. T. D. Hutchi-
son's store and later went to Petrolia,
Owen Sound and Sault Ste. Marie,
His success speaks well for the ex-
cellent early training he received. The
younger brother, Mr. W. E. S.
Bryan, ("'Sam"), after taking a busi-
ness 'college course, held an im-
portant position with a Toronto
shipbuilding company, and for a time
was in charge of the business,
tmtil it was sold. He spent a short
time in. Northern Ontario, and in
1913, joined his brother in their mer-
cantile enterprise at the Sault. Al-
though oug he had had no experience in
the dry goods business he was an ex-
pert accountant, and in the inter-
vening years has shared in the suc-
cess of the firm. Their many friends
in Hibbert congratulate them upon
their good fortune in the northern
city.
