[Souvenir of the Town of Welland,  Issued August 22nd, 1902, by the
Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle, Publishers]

One of the best equipped and most reliable harness and horse clothing emporiums in Welland is that of Mr. E. Brasford, on West Main Street, it being the natural headquarters for this class of goods for miles around, though its reputation was not attained in a day, but is the result of studied efforts on the part of its proprietor, to please his patrons. Originally this store was established seventeen years since, by Mr. S. Brasford, father of the present proprietor, who dealt in leather and findings, hides, skins and furs, the leather being manufactured at his own tannery in Pelham, and which is still in operation. Mr Brasford having installed the plant a quarter of a century since. Nine years ago Mr Brasford relinquished his Welland store to his son Mr. E. Brasford who continued the business already established and three years since added that of strictly reliable harness and horse furnishings, which includes rugs, robes, blankets, whips, nets etc.; as also leather and findings, together with hides, skins and furs.
