Wilcox

D. Andrews Wilcox, Sask.
(Good For 1 Loaf Of Bread)

The Wilcox Bakery was located on Main Street and was a combination bakery, ice cream parlour and restaurant. It was owned and operated by Dave and Amelia Andrews and their son Frank. Ice cream was made in quantity in a freezer run by a stationary water cooled gas engine. Frank's specialty was brown bread. Exact dates are not known but partial records show they were in business from 1911 to 1913. It was later operated by their son Frank and it became known as the Farmer's Restaurant. Dave moved to Moose Jaw where he worked for the CPR until his death in 1935. Amelia returned to Hastings Nebraska where she lived until she passed away in 1953. Frank took a homestead near Ormiston but later returned to farm in the Wilcox area. He died in May 1977.

Great Western Bakery Wilkie
(Good For 1 Loaf Of Bread)

There is no mention of this bakery in any gazetteer or directory that Cecil Tannahill viewed and the town records do not have anything on this outlet. An old-timer thought that this was the bakery that was operated by Asa B Ford which was started in 1910. In 1912 Ford expanded to a confectionery and in 1917 when he again expanded to general merchandise he sold the bakery to D. C. Craig. Sold out in 1921.

Parr's Department Store Wilkie
(Good For 1 Loaf)

It appears that Craig operated the Great Western Bakery only 2 years after purchasing from Ford, selling it in 1919 to Joseph Parr. In 1921 Parr purchased the grocery from Ford and in 1924 expanded to general merchandise, expanding again in 1928 and calling it Parr's Department Store. It is thought that the bakery was discontinued about this time and tokens were issued to maintain his customers who had been purchasing bread from the bakery.
