ANNUAL BANQUET

[Welland Tribune, 8 March 1889]

The annual banquet given by Messrs. McLaren & Co., the great dry goods merchants of St. Catharines, eventuated at the Welland house in that city on Monday evening. Covers were laid for about forty, the banquet table being heavily freighted with the good things of this life. The literary and musical feast was also thoroughly enjoyed. Added to these pleasant features; the generous firm declared a dividend (payable on the spot) to their employees, and upon opening an envelope each found therein a substantial sum of money-a share of the profits for the year set aside and divided up pro rata. The firm of McLaren & Co., is one of the most prosperous in Ontario. May their shadow never grow less.
