In Business Since
John Beattie
Seaforth's Oldest Busi-
nessman Sells Business
To Stedman Bros. Ltd.
A new era for Seaforth's oldest
businessman began on Saturday.
On that day John Beattie disposed
of his business -to Messrs. Stedman
Bros., Ltd., of Toronto, and for the
first time in sixty years the Beat-
tie name disappeared from among
those business places on Main St.
In 1890 Beattie Bros., which in-
cluded -Mr. Beattie, then a young
man of 22, and his brother Robert,
purchased the grocery and pork
packing business of James. McGin-
nis, located on the corner adjoin-
ing the bowling green. Later the
firm built the brick block, now oc-
cupied by Gordon Dick, grocer, and
Hugh Thompson, shoe repair. Af-
ter a number of years Mr. Beattie
took over his brother's interest,
but continued to operate under the.
firm name of Beattie Bros. In lf0:
Mr. Beattie sold out the bioek and
bought the block of stores next to
the Commercial Hotel, where he
opened the first 5c to $1.00 store
in Seaforth. A new and more mod-
ern store was opened in 1935 in
the present location in the Cardno
Block, 'where the new owners will
continue to serve the public.
Stedman Bros. are carrying out
extensive alterations to the prem-
ises and are doubling the • floor
capacity by use of the adjoining
store, that formerly was used by
Cardno Bros, grocery.
During his 60 years in Seaforth
Mr. Beattie who last October
celebrated his 82nd birthday, has
occupied a prominent place in the
business and community life of
Seaforth. Always ready to render
assistance to any cause for the
good of the town, his talents
have been in continuous demand
through the years. An ardent
sportsman, he has been active in
bowling, curling and fishing. He
is a past president and active
member of the Seaforth Lions
Club.
