1923 when charles watson de cided to go into the store- keeping business because 1 thought i might like it the store he had purchas ed was actually two busi nesses in one in the front the essential goods were sold while behind a parti tion in the rear was a youngsters delight an ice cream parlour since he first bought the building many alterations have been made in 1933 the post office became part of the surroundings and since its opening time off was pretty hard to enjoy mr watson recalled good wood as a hive of activitiy in the earlier years when farmers brought their goods to the railroad depot train travel was the on ly practical transportation he said and wagons were lired up from the station to the road food prices he remem bered were much lower than they are today bread

more difficult than it is today everything is packaged now and to get a total you just turn to the adding machine there is not as much credit today as there was in the thirties as the times changed stores throughout the coun try were keeping up with them supermarkets and chain stores flourished while the oneman operation died out the watson establish ment felt the change people went to the shopping centres purchasing odds and ends for most of their needs and used the smaller stores for there were some people however who did remain faithful to the little shop one such customer mrs t maye

until this move is made at pres ent the coopers can only act as helpers in the postal department until official word is received the watsons are hoping to find residence somewhere in the stouffvillelvbiidge area there was a time about fifteen or twenty years ago when mr watson knew just about everyone between goodwood and stouffville now he knows about half of them times have really
