Forty-five in Business
Opens Entirely New Store
Mr. John Beattie ,in Business
On Main Street Since
1890, Will Move to New
..LoCation in Cardno Block.
On Friday next, June 21st, Mr.
John ,Beattie will open up his new
5c to $1 stere in the Cardno Block.
The equipment of this store is new
throughout every part, and is being
installed by a. well knokvn Preston
firm. Nothing from the old store
will be used.
Mr. Beattie bas been in business
on the Main Street of Seaforth for
the past forty-five years continuous-
ly. In 18.90 IVI.r. Beattie, in _partner-
ship with his brother, started their
Seatorth busines5 career in what was
then known as the McGinnis Block,
at the south end of Main Street.
A short time later they built the
brick block on Main Street, ndtfr
oc-
cupied by Mr, R. J. .Sproat and Mao..
Donald's Bakery and conduate.d busi-
•
ness there until 1905, when he sold
the block and opened a variety store
in the premise's now occupied by the
Provincial Bank. Pour years later,
in 1909, Mir. Beattie purchaser the
Bank of Commerce Block on the op-
posite side of the street, next td the
Commercial iEllotel, he north store of
Which he has occupied since.
Now ,after 45 years of business he
is again crossing Main Street, to the
large store in the Cardno Block, un-
der the town clock, which is being
specially rebuilt and refitted to re-
ceiv.e him.
Forty-five years in business on the
Main Street of any town is no mean
record for any .business man, but af-
ter the lapse of nearly a half cen-
tury to move that business to en-
larged, improved and ultra modern
surroundings, is a record that few
live to perform.
Mr. Beatti.e's present store is now
closed to ;permit moving the stock,
and will remain so until Friday, June
21st, svhen'rbrusiness will be resumed
in the new premises.
