Of a good old age, as stores go in Cornwall, is the grocery and
liquor business, established 26 years ago by D. J. McDonald and the late Alex. Cameron, under the
firm name of Cameron & McDonald. Both being active, energetic men, full of vigor, their venture
was a success from the start, and slowly and steadily grew until it was looked upon as one of the
leading Cornwall groceries. After the death of Mr. Cameron some six years ago, the business was
conducted by Mr. McDonald as sole proprietor. He is the owner of the block in which the store
is located on Pitt street, which is fitted up with all modern improvements.
Housekeepers invariably want to know that groceries are just as
represented, and once convinced of this fact, are conservative in buying and apt to deal where
they are well used. The highest quality in every line and courteous treatment has been the guiding
principle in this old established concern, which numbers among its customers very many who have
patronized it for over a quarter of a century. A large trade is done with the residents of the
surrounding country.
Close attention is paid to the departments of ales and liquors,
and the very best brands are kept, in consequence of which Mr. McDonald enjoys a large family trade.
He is the Cornwall representative of the following companies: Wm. Dow & Co,; Carling Brewing and
Malting Co,; as well as imported ales and porter.
