They also had a shop in Tillsonburg and closed the one in Simcoe.

- I remember Judy, she was so nice to me.
-I remember going downstairs to see John Vierra to get my GWG jeans! LOL
-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!
