Watrous

Forsyth's Bakery Watrous
(Good For 1 Loaf Of Bread)

Robert Duncan operated a confectionery in the Fulwiler building on Main Street in the mid-thirties.

In February 1938 Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Forsyth came from Carnduff, Saskatchewan where they had operated a bakery for 35 years. They soon purchased the building and it was renovated to serve as a bakery.

In 1940, they moved the bakery to a brick building midway between second and third avenues on the west side of Main Street (The location of the current Senior Citizen' Drop-In Center at 209 Main Street) and had to be altered to serve as a store. An extension was constructed at the rear of the brick building to accommodate the oven and working area. The 300-loaf oven had to be dismantled from the location in the Fulwiler building, brick by brick and rebuilt at the new location.
Mildred and Les Forsythe were managers and lived in the suite upstairs. On their opening day, after the shop was closed, the oven caught fire. This delayed business for a week while they repaired the fire damage to the roof.

Mckinnons Limited Saskatchewan's Foremost Store Weyburn, Sask.
(40th Anniversary Good For 50¢ On Your Next Purchase Of $5.00 Or Over 1883 To 1923 Whitehead Hoag)

Neil McKinnon, a merchant of Ontario, came to Weyburn in 1901 and in 1902 built a small store. In 1905 it was necessary to enlarge the building but this proved inadequate as business continued to grow and in 1912 this building was too small for the needs of the business. At this time a three storey building was built that cost $100,000.00, being equipped with passenger and freight elevators. When stocked and ready for opening day, it was called the finest department store west of Winnipeg. As McKinnon started his business in 1883 in Ontario, he issued a token in 1923, the 40th anniversary, the actual store is depicted on the token. The tokens were widely distributed and when they were redeemed at the store they were destroyed. Business was sold in 1932.

In 1898 Fred Bowditch and some others moved to Weyburn to take up a homestead North of town. While he was proving his homestead he dug wells in the summer and worked in the coal mines in Roche Percee in the winter to earn money. After he proved his homestead up he sold it to Billy RENOLDS (reason unknown) and started up a pool hall in Weyburn. The pool room was a combination bowling alley-pool room - Weyburn's first. It was located where the mall parking lot is now, across from the Royal Hotel, corner of Second Street and Railway Avenue. He managed the pool room for two years then sold it and bought a farm in 1907 south of Weyburn.

Sask. Mental Hospital Weyburn
(Good For 1 Loaf Of Bread)

The Weyburn Mental Hospital was started in 1922. During the 1930's, it was recognized that the staff was not being paid a very good wage. It was proposed that the staff be eligible to buy pork, beef, poultry and bread from the hospital store, at cost price. In 1933, the staff could purchase meat and poultry at 10 cents a pound. Tokens were sold to the staff at 20 for $1.00 and were good for the 2-lb. loaf baked in their own ovens. Tokens were discontinued in 1945 when it was found that the staff were supplying their neighbors as well. On Nov. 1, 1971, the Mental Hospital was phased out and became known as the Souris Valley Extended Care Hospital.

Sam Lowes came from Orilla, Ontario, to Moosomin in 1911 and worked for a small bakery. In 1912 he left and started a bakery in Weyburn, which was rather surprising as he was not a baker and at no time did he do any of the baking, it was all done by hired staff. He supplied bread and pastry to many outlying communities as well as Weyburn. Tokens were issued in 1920 when Mr. Lowes had two horse drawn rigs supplying Weyburn. Tokens were discontinued in 1932 when he stopped delivering bread. In March, 1967, the Star Bakery ceased operations after serving the district for 55 years. At the tender age of 84 Mr. Lowes felt that it was time to retire.

James Jackson Knowler came over from England in 1883 and took up a homestead south of Whitewood. When the Riel Uprising broke out in 1885, James Knowler, having a team of oxen and a team of horses, was granted a contract to haul supplies from Whitewood to Yorkton. When the uprising was quelled there was quite a surplus of supplies left at Whitewood so Knowler purchased this surplus and opened up a store selling his merchandise the first year from a tent. A wooden structure was erected in 1888 and it was known as J. J. Knowler, Merchant. In 1902 a larger building was needed so a stone building was built with the stone being hauled by the farmers in the area and they were paid in merchandise for their labors. A brother, John Henry Knowler, had started a small business in 1885 with a partner Charles Marshallsay but the partnership did not prove satisfactory so the business was sold in 1887. John went to Cannington Manor and became involved in the Moose Mountain Trading Company. He returned to Whitewood in 1899 and entered into a partnership with his brother James and at this time the name was changed to J. J. Knowler & Company. James Knowler passed away in September, 1919. Percy Knowler, son of John, and A. M. Duquette took over the business in 1925 and changed the name to Knowler's Ltd. They sold the business in 1951 to Tom Noble. No definite date is known as to when the tokens were issued but it is thought that they were in use around 1920 and used by Knowler's Ltd. unitl 1936.

When the Riel Uprising broke out in 1885, James Knowler, having a team of oxen and a team of horses, was granted a contract to haul supplies from Whitewood to Yorkton. When the uprising was quelled there was quite a surplus of supplies left at Whitewood so Knowler purchased this surplus and opened up a store selling his merchandise the first year from a tent. A wooden structure was erected in 1888 and it was known as J. J. Knowler, Merchant. In 1902 a larger building was needed so a stone building was built with the stone being hauled by the farmers in the area and they were paid in merchandise for their labors. A brother, John Henry Knowler, had started a small business in 1885 with a partner Charles Marshallsay but the partnership did not prove satisfactory so the business was sold in 1887. John went to Cannington Manor and became involved in the Moose Mountain Trading Company. He returned to Whitewood in 1899 and entered into a partnership with his brother James and at this time the name was changed to J. J. Knowler & Company. James Knowler passed away in September, 1919. Percy Knowler, son of John, and A. M. Duquette took over the business in 1925 and changed the name to Knowler's Ltd. They sold the business in 1951 to Tom Noble. No definite date is known as to when the tokens were issued but it is thought that they were in use around 1920 and used by Knowler's Ltd. unitl 1936.
