P.C. Duncan Co. Ltd. Department Store Estevan, Sask. (Good For $5.00 In Trade) In 1892, Percy Duncan opened a feed and flour store. In 1906, he built a large building for his own use - renting part to S. Moulton for his hardware and tinsmithing, and part to J. McNeil, the undertaker, for his furniture. In 1910, the Moulton and Duncan Company was formed, with all three as equal partners. All of this was promoted by Moulton, who became general manager in the new company. Since Moulton was trying to run all departments, nothing could be done without his consent. This led to constant bickering, resulting in the buying out of Moulton, in 1912, by the other 2 partners. In 1914, McNeil entered the army; Duncan purchased his share and named the company, P. C. Duncan Company Limited. In 1918, he sold out to W. R. Whitby. |

The Estevan Bakery Estevan, Sask. (Good For One Clover-Leaf Loaf) In 1922, Albert E. Johnstone started the Estevan Milling Et Flour Company with the idea of supplying flour to the bakers of Estevan and surrounding districts. He was unable to make much headway, because the bakers were buying from Robin Hood and other large companies. He, therefore, started his own bakery - the Estevan Bakery. This opened in 1929. He hired Albert Baker to operate the bakery. It is thought that tokens were issued around this time. The bakery closed down in 1941, and the mill in 1946. |
