Bender We are indebted to Miss Olive Prior of town for a copy of the Portage la Prairie (Man.) Graphic containing the an­ nouncement that her brothers, Nelson J. and Herman G. Prior, pioneer’ merchants of that city had disposed of their • ladies’ wear business to a Winnipeg firm. The Graphic says: “To have served one city for a period of almost half a century is an un­ usual experience fox’ any firm. The Priors have been in business since 1908, about 48 years. “Nelson J. and Herman G. are brothers. They were born in Exe- ter, Ontario and N. J. came west in 1900, H. G. in 1903. N. J. was manager of stores in Swan Lake, Holland and Glenboro for some years and H. G. clerked in Swan Lake and then managed stores in Cypress River and Alameda, Sask. In 1908 they both came to Portage and formed a partner­ ship to buy out T. A. Gardiner. In 1914 they purchased the stock of the Burley Furrier Co. depart­ mental store. “The Pgiors first carried a stock Of general merchandise and groceries but in 1942 fire did extensive damage to the pre­ mises and stock' and aftei’ re­ pairs and decorations had been made they specialized in dry goods and have done so evei’ since. Bools and shoes, crockery, groceries and floor coverings dropped and ladies wear was' foremost in their business. . “Fire again visited the store, m 1950, but this time only the top storey, rented as a bowling alley, was damaged, with pf course, damage by water and smoke to the Prior stock on the main floor. It was decided to remove the top storey from the building and the main store was again restocked with new mer­ chandise. “The Priors are one of he oldest merchants in the city.' Their record is an open book. It is a record of public seryice that has been appreciated by continued patronage of a discern­ ing public. H. G. will remain as managei' for a short time. ‘Both families will remain as residents of Portage. Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Prior have two sons and two daughters. Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Prior have one daughter and two sons. II. G. Prior began his business carper with the late J. A. Stew­ art. He has made periodic visits to his sister and old acquaint­ ances. in town. Besides his busi­ ness interest he has been active in church and hospital work in Portage. Pay Assistance To Immigrants Minister of Citizenship and Im­ migration, announced recently that his department is now ac­ cepting applications for family assistance from eligible immi­ grants and returning Canadian citizens. Subject to the approval of Par­ liament, an amount of $5.00 per month, beginning April 1, 1956, will be paid on behalf of each child of an immigrant or of a Canadian citizen returning to live in Canada permanently, un­ til such child has reached 16 years of age or has lived in Can­ ada for 12 months. To receive family assistance mothers are required to make application at the immigration office nearest to their home or by writing to the Director of Immigration, Department-of Ci­ tizenship and Immigration, Ot­ tawa. Family assistance cheques will be mailed to mothers direct­ ly from Ottawa every three months. For convenience each quarterly cheque wil be accom- .panied by an application form to be submitted near the end of the following three-month period. Family assistance payments are intended to help newcomers become established in Canada and to keep families united. H. J. CORNISH & CO. CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS |, H. X Cornish, L. F.
