NEW FIRM

[Welland Telegraph, 24 April 1891]

During the past week the well known flour, feed and grain business conducted so long by Mr. Robt. Cooper has been sold to Messrs. Taylor & Moore. Both members of the new firm are well known throughout town and country. Mr. Taylor is from Pelham and is a brother to Messrs. A.E. And J.B. Taylor. Mr. Moore is from Thorold township. Last week’s negotiations were entered into for the purchase of the business by Messrs. Taylor and Goodwillie, but the latter gentleman dropped out and his place was taken by Mr. Moore. Both members of the firm are wide awake men, and although many will miss Mr. Cooper’s familiar face at the old stand, they will have the assurance that the business will be carried on in the same enterprising and honorable way that has characterized it so long. Mr. Cooper has found it necessary to retire from business in consequence of failing health, and will, for the present, place himself under the doctor’s care. With his mind relieved from business cares we trust he will soon regain his old time vigor.
