Scott

Houston & Ferguson General Merchants Scott, Sask.
(Good For $1.00 In Trade)

The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway came through the area in 1908 and selected a townsite which was named Scott after one of the railway VIP's. It appeared to be the ideal location to become the trading centre of a very large area and many merchants flocked to the area. A. Houston and P. D. Ferguson started the first general store on the townsite. In 1909 the Canadian Pacific came through a few miles to the north and selected Wilkie as the divisional point for that area. This was a blow to the dreams of the residents of Scott and many merchants left to seek their fortunes elsewhere. The partnership of Houston and Ferguson was discontinued and Houston moved away with Ferguson taking over the livery stable.

(Good For 5¢ In Trade)

Franklin Oscar Bransted, owner of a poolroom and confectionery, purchased a number of vending machines and games in 1915 from a manufacturer in the U.S.A. On receiving these machines, he found that they operated on the U.S. 5 cents, the Canadian 5 cents at that time was much too small, so he ordered a quantity of tokens for use in the machines. Tokens were used until around 1925 when the large Canadian 5 cent was in ample supply. Tokens were gathered up and put away and only recently were they found.

Stevenson Bros. General Merchants Shaunavon, Sask.
(Good For $5.00 In Merchandise)

Hugh, William and Thomas Stevenson built the store in 1913 and in 1918 a fire destroyed the premises. A new store was built across the street but before it was rebuilt, Thomas sold his share to his brothers and moved to Winnipeg. When William died in 1929, Hugh sold a 30% interest to James Bryden Innes for $15,000, kept 51 % for himself, and the other 19% was sold to Roy Thompson, Vic Ross and Don Nicholson, who remained as silent partners. At this time the name was changed to Hugh Stevenson Limited. In 1931 this store burnt down, shortly after they had received a large shipment of winter shock; as a result they were under insured and the company was in financial trouble. Innes took his original $15,000 out of the insurance and started a store down the street. Hugh Stevenson was unable to continue so no effort was made to rebuild.
