In the final analysis, the most important element in the success of any shopping centre is the quality of its merchants.

By keeping "everlastingly at it" this 100 per cent Canadian owned company has grown from a humble tinsmith's bench in 1861 to one of Canada's largest fabricators of metal products occupying more than 250,000 equare feet of manufacturing epace in the City of Oshawa. In addition to the Oshawa fac- tory the company has branch premises in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. Manu- facturing is also carried out at some of these branches. 'The history of the Pedlar Peo- ple is a story of growth and change, reflecting graphically tion that has taken place In Can- ada since Confederation. It is a story too, of the part the Pedlar People have played through peace and war in aid- ing Canada's progress and de- fence. But primarily it is a story of success ... a success made possible by the ttemendous esprit de corps of its employees both past and present. GUIDING GENIUS From 1861 until his death in 1913, every stage in the com- pany's growth was marked by the guiding genius of George Henry Pedlar. With little cap- ital, but under the guidance of a master mind, he forged with- in his lifetime an industry of nation-wide importance. A man of driving energy, he was equal to the demands placed on himself, and from others he expected _a like effort. His attitude held no outward show of paternalism, yet he was the social and economic evolu- mindful of employee welfare! and his helping hand was ever extended in time of need. In 1892 a small stamping plant was built to manufacture metal roofing, siding and ceil- ings. By the turn of the century, the Company had become estab- lished as the Pedlar Metal Roof- ing Company and business in- creased so substantially that yearly additions to the building had to be made. During the period prior to World War I, several members of George Henry Pedlar's im- mediate family were included among those on the office staff and visiting salesmen were quick to note the number of; /f "Pedlars'" associated with the business. So the term '"'Pedlar People" became used with such} | frequency in reference to the \j firm that the founder did not overlook its possibilities. "We | are known as the Pedlar People so the Pedlar People we shall be," he remarked and in 1911 the company was incorporated i as "The Pedlar People| | Limited', He also reasoned that, 'After all, our customers are people, and people would rather deal with. people than with a 'Company' or 'Corpora- tion'.""
