BUSINESS CHANGE

G. Franklin Sutherland Now Sole Owner of the Business of Sutherland & Son

[Welland Telegraph, 3 December 1918]

              An important business change went into effect yesterday morning when G. Franklin Sutherland took full ownership and control of the well known firm of Sutherland & Son, undertakers and furniture dealers, buying out the interest of his father, George W. Sutherland.

             This business was established a quarter of a century ago by the late Alfred Lawrence. Fifteen years ago he took George W. Sutherland into partnership, the firm being known as Lawrence & Sutherland. Eleven years ago, Mr. Lawrence sold out to Mr. Sutherland, and four years ago, Mr. Sutherland took his son into partnership.

             Mr. Sutherland states he will take a holiday next year.
