J.B. Taylor & Co, Grocers
[Souvenir of the Town of Welland, Issued August 22nd, 1902, by the
Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle, Publishers]
There is not an establishment in Welland that carries a finer stock of groceries, china and crockery ware, that that of Messrs. J.B. Taylor & Co., on West Main Street, at the head of North Main Street. Nor is there a store where patrons obtain more for their money, quality and quantity considered, prompter service or more courteous treatment, than they do at J.B. Taylor &Co’s. Mr Taylor entered business many years since, primitively, but by strict integrity he has developed a trade requiring increased facilities. Eleven years ago he moved from across the street into his present quarters, a three story brick building, the lower floor and basement of which is devoted to business purposes. The premises are up-to-date, and with the large plate glass fronts reflecting the character of the goods within, there being practically two departments combined in one, makes it one of the most attractive establishments of its character in town, and even in the county. The two apartments afford a combined floor surface of 3,000 square feet. That to the right is devoted to the sale of choice family and staple groceries, including high grade teas and coffees, flour, spices, bottled and canned goods and relishes, both domestic and imported fruits, nuts, confectionery, tobacco and cigars. In addition thereto Mr Taylor deals in fish and oysters, smoked meats, and country produce, the latter purchased direct from the neighboring farmers; while his premises are equipped with a cold blast storage with a capacity for the care of two tons of butter and other products. Adjoining the grocery is a completely stocked crockery and glassware department, including the best of porcelain and earthenware of the “Haviland,” and other celebrated European makers, which Mr. Taylor imports direct, thereby saving middlemen’s profits to his customers, these being singly and in sets, which with the glass and lampware goods, forms a very essential household department. Connected with the main building is a three story warehouse, devoted to the storage of heavy groceries, woodenware and surplus stock. The establishment is a credit alike to the business element of the town, and its enterprising proprietor.
