HICKEY BROS. OPEN DEPARTMENT STORE
[Welland Telegraph, 4 September 1917]
Hickey’s Department store opened this morning in a new home, and this event gives occasion for comment on one of the most successful retail enterprises in Welland. Hickey Bros. began business in a very small store and with a very small stock eight years ago. In fact, the stock was worth only $600. This morning the public was admitted to a big and beautiful store with a stock of eighteen thousand dollars.
The new building on East Main street was built by W.J. Hickey and is one of the largest and most attractive business places in town. There is frontage of 25 feet on East Main street and a depth of 124 feet. All of this building is devoted exclusively to the Hickey Bros. business.
The interior fittings and cases are in walnut. An immense array of goods has been handsomely displayed.
“We are going to follow the old policy,” said Hickey yesterday, “with the exception that we have extended all the former lines we carried, and we have added many new lines. The additional space our business has been demanding for some years is now available and we are taking full advantage of it.”
