The store is being op- erated by Lorne MacDonald. Located in the former Willis shoe store on Main Street, Mr, MacDonald says the new busi- ness will operate in the tradi- tion built up over nearly 100 years in business in Seaforth by the Willis family, "Those long years of services were only possible because the public received service and satisfaction," Mr. MacDonald.. said. "I intend to provide that same service and satisfaction." If anybody can do it, Mr. Mac- Donald can, after a lifetime in the shoe business. Born in Lucknow, he began his career in shoes in 1920, when he served with R. Neill Ltd., a pioneer firm in estab- lishing a chain of shoe stores across Canada. At 1 that time new concepts in shoe fitting procedures were coming into vogue, and to fit himself to better serve the' public he stu- died practipedits—the art of correcting foot troubles with appliances, and graduated with honors. • Continuing in the retail trade until 1948, Mr. MacDonald then joined the staff of the B. F. Ackerman Co., of Peterboro, as assistant manager of shoes, rub- bers and shoe findings. When the firm was absorbed by an- other company some years lat- er, Mr. MacDonald represented it in the field and travelled throughout Southwestern On- tario. Seaforth was the centre of his territory, and he• moved here about 10 years ago. Accident on Road An accident several years ago while working on . the road re- sulted in a series of operations and long months of hospitaliza- tion. While ultimately he was able to be about, he could not return to his former occupation. Discussing rehabilitation with the Workmen's Compensation Board, Mr. MacDonald decided to begin his own business. When J. K. Willis decided to enter another business, the Wil- lis location became available, and Mr. MacDonald took ad- vantage of the opportunity to again enter the retail field.
