After a particularly disheartening shopping trip, she told her husband Bob that she wished Port Perry had its own linen store. "She just had a thought one day and Lsaid, that's it. Let's do it!" co- owner Bob recalls. Together, the Scugog Island cou- ple (he, retired from Bell Telephone; she also retired) began researching all the work necessary in opening a small business, as well as buying, and pricing to obtain MACKEY & BAILEY ~ BARRISTERS & SOLICITORS Saturday Mornings - 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon OShawa Rd., Port Perry Lake Scugog Lumber Building ~ we 985-7391 PUBLIC MEETING questions.
