_________________________

"Florence and Salina Shantz ran a model household on Stirling Avenue in Kitchener and operated a dress and bonnet-making business to maintain themselves. Their home was a place of warmth for family and friends. They generously shared their gifts to clothe the needy, but with a flare of independence.

Salina, the older of the two sisters, was born on April 11, 1886 to Wendel and Mary Ann (Shantz) Shantz. The family lived on a farm on Erb Street, east of Philipsburg and attended the Shantz Mennonite Church.

Salina's health was rather delicate; so she stayed at home while her sisters were employed in homes in the neighbourhood.

In the early 1920s Mother Shantz suffered a stroke. Salina and Florence cared for her during the fourteen months in which she was bedfast. The doctor praised them for their excellent care, telling them they could qualify for nurses' degrees. When their father died in 1927, Salina and Florence moved to Kitchener.

IN BUSINESS

During the first ten years in the city, the Shantz sisters lived in various three-room apartments, engaging in sewing as best they could in such small space. Those were also the depression years, and work and resources were hard to find. Finally, in 1937, they built their own house on 11 Stirling Avenue North, their back yard adjoining First Mennonite Church's parking lot. They planned a large hall with sitting room for clients who were waiting to be served. There was a sewing room besides their own living quarters.....

Notes:

"Two sisters, Florence and Salina Shantz, also saw entrepreneurial opportunities in Berlin. Florence's specialty was bonnet making, a difficult skill to master. Bonnets were not easily mass produced, and making them by hand provided Mennonite women with a cottage industry opportunity of they were adept. The sisters had first moved to Kitchener from a farm near Philipsburg after their parents died. While renting an apartment, they slowly built up their dressmakers' business. In 1937, they were able to build their own house at 11 Stirling Avenue North, and ran the business from there. Salina and Florence might be making bonnets one day, and fancy wedding dresses for non-Mennonites the next. Younger relatives describe the sisters' home: 'They kept an immaculate house. No time was wasted chatting on the telephone. The newspaper was not opened until the day's work was completed and the house set in order. In spite of this, the nieces and nephews loved to go totheir aunts' house. It gave them a warm feeling'."
