A brief bit of history with thanks and a promise FIFTY-SIX years ago on November 16th, at 92 Rideau Street, a small sized store opened its doors for service: Charles Ogilvy, John Pittaway and one clerk comprised the staff. Two of the three are still important workers with the firm which in the year 1907 some twenty years later -occupied their finet newly built premises of fireproof construction at the corner of Rideau and Nicholas Streets, where today Charles Ogilvy and the ever faithful John Pittaway and considerably over three hundred of a staff are still carrying on and endeavouring to give good value to its customers. IN 1908 a Limited Company was formed and the firm has operated sinceas Charles Ogilvy Limited. Under the general manager Lewis A.

Burpee, connected with the firm for over twenty-five years, and a dozen or more highly capable managers covering some thirty departments the business has grown very rapidly in recent years. Although our premises are more than three times the size they were in 1908 we need greatly enlarged space now. Crowds at' times are very great, elevators insufficient, and comforts we would like to give are at present beyond us. In all this we ask your patience and assure everyone that as soon as conditions permit we will endeavour to give you some relief. harlw Ogilvy LimiltdJ Juliana Brought Gifts to Children i No doubt the little Netherlands Princesses, Beatrix, Irene and Margriet, looked forward to the return of their mother.
