The establishment has had an honorable history, and its continuance along the lines by which it was formerly con- ducted would have been in the inter- ests of the village and surrounding community. To a wide constituen- cy it was "The Store." They and their father had dealt there and now its closing seems much like the pass- mg away of a dear friend. The Clyde Store was opened for business in 1850 by the late Boyd Caldwell, and the following years saw a large and extensive trade carried on there. Twenty-seven years ago, at the death of the late Mr. Caldwell, the store passed into the hands of his son' Mr. T. B. Caldwell, who "onducted the business with the like success of that of his revered father. Six years ago the late Walter J. Robertson took over the business, and under his ma- nagement, and with his fine business ability, it maintained the successful record of its past history. Upon the death of the late Mr. Robertson the store passed into the hands of Mes- ly of A. C. Gilmour. last few months the stock, which was purchased hy J. H. Conn, was disposed of, and now tlie building is closed. During the CAMPBELLFORD RAISES $10,000.
