• Notes

  CLAY BROTHERS As general grocers none are more worthy of success than Clay Bros, who has in a very short time gained the front rank in the grocery, crockery and glassware trade. They are successors of the father, W. P. Clay, who originally conducted the business. These young men are worth the confidence of the people, as they keep the best goods ready cash can buy. Their store is on South Water stree in the Imperial Block. Jubilee souvenir of Galt, 1897
