D. McCaw & Son Boots and Shoes
[Souvenir of the Town of Welland Issued August 22, 1902 by the Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle, Publishing]
It is alleged that man’s fastidiousness, and it might be said women’s taste too, is indicated by the shoes they wear, and such being the case it is well for those seeking footwear of any character, to patronize those who deal somewhat exclusively therein, like unto Messrs D. McCaw & Son, whose boot and shoe emporium is located on the corner of Cross and East Main streets, directly opposite the Court House, and who have most successfully catered for public patronage for many years, Everything in the line of footwear for both sexes, and of all ages, from a slipper to lumberman’s boots, can be found herein,–the “King” quality shoe for ladies or men, and the “Sovereign” shoe for men, being specialties. The establishment is devoted exclusively to the sale of footwear, and its kindred, which includes boots, shoes rubbers, overshoes and rubber boots, as also findings and polishes of various makes and grades. As a general footwear store it has always borne the best reputations for quality and price the latter being a special consideration to the economical; the quotations being reasonable, and the same to all. The founder of the business, and the senior member of the firm, until a few weeks ago when he passed away was Daniel McCaw. He died on May 28, 1902, at the ripe old age of nearly 92 years. He was the first Deputy Reeve of Welland, an for a number of years was a member of the Town Council and Public School Board. For years he was the leading public spirits of the town. His son, Mr John McCaw, has been a member of the Town Council for two terms and a member of the Public School Board for eighteen years.
