W.J. BEST & SON BUY PERRY STORE

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 20 November 1923]

              W.J. Best & Son yesterday took over from A.A. Perry & Co., the book and stationery business established on East Main St. sixteen years ago by the late Mr. Perry and which has been conducted by Mrs. Perry since his death two years go.

             Of the new organization, the senior member, Wm. J. Best, is one of the city’s oldest and best known business men, he having for many years been the proprietor of a meat market, retiring from that line a number of years ago, since which he has devoted his time to his extensive private interests. He is now a member of the Welland Hydro-Electric Commission, and has served the city as a member of council and in the mayoralty chair.

             His son is also well known among the younger element of the city, and the firm boasts a personnel that should insure a continuance of the successful record the business has shown in the past.
