"Quality Merchandise At
Lowest Cost" Basis Of
Stewart Bros. Success
Partnership Formed in
1905 Continues To Serve
Seaforth and District
Buyers.
The foundation for the present
large, stores of Stewart Bros, was
laid' one day in 1894, when the
senior partner of the firm Harry
Stewart started his career in the
clothing business as an employee
of the late J. C. Greig and R. J.
McDonald, in their store situated
in the what is now the Regent
Theatre block,
Seven years later Mr. Stewart
purchased the interests of Mr. Mc-
•
Donald, the firm being then known
as Greig and Stewart. In 1899 the
firm moved across the street, oc-
cupying the south of the present
itwo Stewart Bros.' stores.
In 1905 Mr. Greig's interests
were purchased and the late Chas.
Stewart entered the partnership. It
was at this time that the Stewart
Bros.' slogan "Quality Merchandise
At Lowest Cost" had its beginning.
During the intervening years the
firm's adherence to their slogan
and to the policy of giving every
consideration to the needs and de-
sires of their customers, has re-
sulted in the building up of a busi-
ness second to none in a town of
similar size in Ontario.

The activities of the firth were
increased to a point that doubled
its previous capacity when in 1909
the adjoining premises were ac-
quired, and a department featuring
staple and general dry goods, lad-
ies' ready-to-wear and house furn-
ishing was opened.
With the death in 1939 of Charles
Stewart, the partnership continued
with his estate until 1945. At this
time the interests 'of the estate
were acquired by Mr. Harry Stew-
art, and later his4 two sons, James
A. and David entered the partner-
ship.
During the years since 1905 when
the name of Stewart Bros. first
appeared on a Seaforth store, the
firm has been a regular user of
advertising space in The Huron
