So many stores, so many memories

I am writing to thank Monica Sutherland for her letter re: the closing of Ben Sutherland’s store. I would also like to thank Ben Sutherland’s for their many years of service in Nelson.

Re: Stores past and present

I am writing to thank Monica Sutherland for her letter re: the closing of Ben Sutherland’s store. I would also like to thank Ben Sutherland’s for their many years of service in Nelson.

I would also like to thank stores of Nelson’s past which I enjoyed and can still remember. Mann’s and Mayo’s drugstores were nice stores to visit. Mann’s had a great corner for children’s books and toys. There was a Samples Pharmacy before my time. Sally’s, Sweet 16, Dee’s, Irene’s Ladies Apparel, Wood Vallance, McLaughlin Jewellers, Silvertip Sports, Norm’s Sports, Ramsay’s, Hudson’s Bay, Woolworth’s, MacLeod’s, Emory’s, Godfrey’s, Lyon’s, Cutler’s, Rose’s Delicatessen, Harley’s and Peterson’s Fabrics. There was an Overwaitea in the downtown area at one time.

Thanks to all past Nelson stores and the great clerks.
