The staff at the time from what I remember were Edna Turnbull, Jack Watson, Madeline Gasner, Bridie Kent, Judy Pethrie did alterations, Madge ?, Sandra Petlovany, Marti Ruffolo(Girvan), a Joan and an Eileen from Acton. Bob Beerman and Randy Waters also worked there and Doreen Wood was the bookkeeper. Ross Garlick and Keith Hawtin were the owners at that time. They also had a shop in Tillsonburg and closed the one in Simcoe.
-you have a way better memory than I do LOL I loved working there, Edna took me under her wing. I use to take clothes home for Mrs. Williams next door to sell to her since he was not able to get to the store. I would love a job like that now. The good old days :)

-When our family moved into Georgetown in 1956, you could say we had ‘just got off the boat’ immigrated from England and if it had not been for Silvers we would not have had warm coats for the winter. My mother would buy the items and pay $2.00 a week until it was paid. They did not charge interest. She was always thankful for the owners of Silvers and of course we always shopped there. Actually, I just threw out a blouse last year that I had bought in the 80s’. The assistants were lovely people and you were never felt inferior. I am now 72 and my sister(?) and we both have fond memories. All I can say is ‘thank you’.
-Wow!! I remember that store!
-I remember that store and the good people who worked there.
