Wednesday June 30 Our lease on our Chapel Street store expires today and we are moving the last of our Paint and Wall Paper stocks to our York Street Building. We worked till nearly mid-night, before stopping for the night. This date ends sixteen years and three months in this store. Quite a good part of our business life and the most fruitful years of our physical life. We came down down sixteen years ago, mostly as an experiment without any business without any experience in down town retail location knowledge. We developed a good solid business, and through the publicity and contact which this central location gave us our whole business has grown successfully. In dismanteling my office at Chapel Street today there is a certain amount of heartache as "Old things are passing away". The years have meant hard work but much satisfaction.
