NEW PLUMBING STORE

[Welland Tribune, 29 January 1909]

The Tribune is pleased to welcome to our town Mr. F.B. Gourlay, son of Mr. S.P. Gourlay of St. Catharines who will shortly open a business on East Main street. Mr. Gourlay, who is by no means a stranger to Welland, has closed arrangements with Messrs. Goodsir & Waite for the immediate occupancy of their recently vacant store, and in a few days will have it stocked with material for the carrying on of plumbing and heating and gas business and we trust that this enterprise will meet with much success, which, with the name of “Gourlay”, therewith associated, and the facilities for good work, which is always assured, will no doubt result in a flourishing business being acquired.

Of late years a considerable part of the plumbing and heating of some of the larger institutions of Welland have been done by Mr. S. P. Goulay, and of which work “our” Mr. Gourlay was in charge; the quality of material used and the character of the work done are substantial testimonials of reliability and thoroughness.

Mr. Gourlay will make a good citizen and is encouraged by the present progressive condition of Welland. He says, “I am making Welland my home, and want to see it grow still further, will do my share in that respect, and want to grow with it.” That’s the sentiment we like. Let us all continue to work for a greater Welland.
