Interview with S. Wertman by R. Ormerod Feb. 23, 2004

A lot of people moved to the city because their children were going to university. In North Bay there were Men's and Ladies wear stores. There were just, things just started closing down slowly here.

We had Sam Davis Men's Wear,

We had Joe Scott was here at that time.

Jeff Scott was the Dentist. He was the son of Ruby Scott.

Who else was there? John Hill moved to Toronto. They had children to look after.

The Brooks moved to North Bay.

The Gruvichs moved to North Bay.

The Jacks closed up their fur shop and moved to Toronto as their kids were there.

I think that these older people who moved away wanted to see their grandchildren, wanted to be with their children. My in-laws moved back up here and I just, Don and I came back and we just stayed here, because we both had a very busy life here.
