SALT SPRING. ISLANDTRADING COMPANY

(continuing our series on long-established local businesses.)

Next year, the Salt SpringIsland Trading Co. will celebrateits 50th anniversary; a half cen-tury spanning the era of the horseand buggy to the space age. Itv/as in 1912 when H.W.Bullock,J. C. Scove I, T. F. Speed, Co I. B.V.Layard, F.L.Scott, J.C.Lang,A. J.Smith, E.Walters, V.Caso-Morris and others had the ideathat a second store was needed inGanges. They formed the Com-pany, built the building (as pic-tured) and began operations in

_,_ that year. At that time there was| no other building between them

___--.- ^ present location of McGil't's1912

Bakery. They began with two employees. In that era of kerosene lamps, horse and v/agon dslivcry and no-refrigeration, feed and hay was the big volume item in their operation. Merchandise was delivered oncea v/eok by boal- frbm.the^hok-salcrs. Ice cream came in five-gallon tubs set in a larger tub of ice. Uponarrival, everyone desiring ice cream would gather to buy, and the employees would scoop ice cream un-,:til ,it was gone. .

- The present Manager, Mr. Stan Wagg, is only the third manager of the Company. Ho became Man-ager in 1945. His career with the Trading Co. started in 1922. At that time, Mr. Wagg, who was:holidaying on S.S.I. , was recruited to fill in as a temporary truck driver. Not knowing how to drive,ho took a few practice turns on the school grounds with the model T truck before heading out on hisfirst'delivery. Deliveries in those days wore much different than today. Once on a delivery to Fulford,-the old truck had five punctures. This meant, five times jacking up the truck, taking off the tire, patch-mg the tube, inflating it and resuming the journey. In some winters the snow was so deep a team andsleigh was used. One Christmas Eve thelast delivery trip v/as not started until10:30 pm and was not finished until 2:00am Christmas Morning.

Times were changing and in order togive the cash buyer a break, Mr .Wagg ^S^WS^ -aW^ ^instituted the unique method of havingtwo prices on most rroccry Items forsale; one for cash and one for credit.^ ien Mr. Wagg to -ik over cs managerin 1945, 85% of the business was credit,today 70% is cash.
