A special old store I remember as a kid on Wellington near Church
was Gagnons (Spelling?)
They had merchandise that was from the 30s.
The money and paperwork would whizz all around the store in pneumatic
tubes.
There was also a great Dime store on corner of Verdun and 4th. They had
junk and cards going back to 1900s I still have some old Victorian cards
I bought there.
Second Avenue

SecondAve, Is there any way you can scan those old Victorian cards for us? They sound very interesting. Cheers.
Billy, I recall Gagnon's they sold everything, those old wooden creaky floors they had..Friday nights my Mom would take us to wellington street,we would do all the stores on one side of Wellington and cross over and do the otherside..what fun we had, and how we hoped for a treat. cookie
I remember doing my christmas shopping as a child at the dime store. I probably had about one dollar to spend. Happy days. I lived on Rielle Aven. - left at age 23 in 1949
