Steel Company, which is to-day operating one of the most successful and varied chain stores systems in the world, is near- ing the stage where its objective may be regarded as within sigh® in s0 far as its plans have been laid in advance, the public which has watch- ed this growth with great interest, some as spectators and others as customers, will be interested in learning with a host of investors in the company's capital stock, some- thing about the history cf the under- taking. It was back in September, 1919, that Mr. L. R. Steel decided to or- ganize the business which has grown so rapidly, and the period from Oc- tober 16 to the end of that year was devoted to preliminary adiministra- tion organization. The first mer- chandising was undertaken commen- cing March, 1920, with three small stores in American town dealing in merchandise priced from 5c. to £1.00. Thus ,on Dee, 31, 1921, the company finished its second year of operating activity. Although the ahove three stores were acquired on Jan. 1, it was not until March 1st, that they actu- ally commenced operations. Organization Thorough The American stores are operated by the L. R. Steel Company, Incor- porated, and later when a company was Incorporated to conduct the business in Canada, it was named the L. R. Steel Company, Limited. It was also planned to carry out the same idea of selling goods limited from five cents to $10.00, The year 1920 was laygely spent in organiza- tion of the Canadian business and the provision of a staff of buyers to find Canadian manufacturers to pro- duce the required commodities was an important part of the undertak- ing, Several storas were opened, however, before the year finished. By July 1, 1920, the American com- pany had acquired two more store systems which made a chain of six- teen operating stores. This formed Aa The L. R, Steel Company, Scarcely Two Years in Actual Operation stonishing Strides It Has Made in That Short Time-- About the Undertaking the nucleus of the system to be built up. The company estab-| lished a standard store to be used throughout the chain and all these were remodelled to conform there- with, Providing Capital, One of the important features of the undertaking was the provision of the necessary capital to expand the business, and with this object in view, two companies were formed to look after that part, The L. R. Steel Service Corporation of New York performed that function for the United States, while in Canada this was looked after by the L. R. Steel Service Corporation, Limited. These two 'companies have successfully fin- anced the chain of store companies. Thus in the leading cities of the United States and Canada there are now operated 5 cent to $10.00 stores, Steel Cafeterias, Steel - Lingerie. Waist and Hat Shops, Mary Lincoln Candy Shops, and in addition there have heen financed four other en- terprises. These are the Charles Weegham Corporation, (a successful dairy lunch room enterprise), Mary Lincoln Candy Company, Inc, Farm Produce Stores Corporation, and Moore Haven Sugar Corporation, These have been financed through the sale of the four companies secu- rities, Providing Stores, The Steel Realty Development Cor- poration and the Steel Realty De- velopment Corporation, Limited, were organized to provide for the buildings necessary to the stores de- | partment in the United States and | Canada, respectively. diary companies are controlled by the parent Solpany in the United States, the L. R. Steel Company, Ine. | The fact Ry two yéars' experience has proved that the class of stores operated is popular with the public is due to their maintenance in keep- ing with any other chain store in the | world, being fitted with high class fixtures and supplied with the kind | lot goods the public desires and at prices which will attract customers. Of the schedule of stores remain- ing to be opened, present indications are that Brandon and Hamilton will be ready in the next sixty or ninety days. The last store to be actually placed in operation is in Brantford, Prepare For Convention After the regular program at the September meeting of the W, C. T.
