J.S. O’Neal, Grocer
[Souvenir of the Town of Welland Issued August 22, 1902, by the Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle Publishers]
The grocery and the hardware merchant, who best profits by liberal patronage, is he who in the dispensation of such commodities as are included under these heads, can keep in close touch with his patrons, as to their needs, for the average of mankind is of a discriminating nature, and any infringement in the quality or quantity of goods purchased, means loss of patronage and reputation, therefore Mr. James O’Neal, whose grocery and hardware establishment is located in the Opera House block, on East Main Street, has thus far succeeded in meeting the demands of his customers to a nicety. Mr O’Neal entered the business world of Welland as a hustler and clerk, in the business which for the past twenty years, a portion of the time in company with another, and for the past two years alone, he has controlled, his patrons not being confined to the limits of Welland. In groceries he handles nothing but the best, and his customers, being aware of that fact, have aided him in securing others. To enumerate the various articles of staple and fancy groceries, would exhaust the grocer’s lexicon, but suffice it to say that it includes all that would be considered serviceable in a well regulated household, together with a liberal supply of crockery ware. He also deals in shelf and builder’s hardware, and hardware sundries in general, adaptable to the mechanics, farmers and artisans use, as also painter’s supplies; in fact it is just what it purports to be–a complete grocery and hardware establishment in every essential.
