PO IPE EP | Ecc RR Re er Rt Sra ete 9, Two Local Men Buy Big Store In Abbotsford “MODERN MARKET sb FORME POTTAGE aNp McINTOSH Considerable interest attaches to the announcement made’ in THE NEWS last week and the initial sale an- nounced this week of Modern Markets, a new grocery supply firm comprised of two well-known local men. Messrs. Pottage and McIntosh who form this firm, take over & well-established business occupy- ing a prominent corner location in Abbotsford, trading centre of the Central Fraser Valley, and they asure the public of their intentions to continue and improve the service previously rendered. Mr. Wm. C. Pottage, better known at Bill Pottage, has been a resident of this district for more than nine years, having come in April of 1931 to take over the management of the store of which he now assumes part ownership. That he has permanently estab- lished himself in the MSA Area is evident by his new home near- ing completion on Elm street in Abbotsford. He is an active mem- ber of the Board of Trade, Men's Club, Businessmen’s Association and of other community efforts such as the current War Savings promotion committee. He has lent his talent in other ways such as directing a musical show that still holds a local record. Associated with him is Charles J. (Charlie) McIntosh, member of a pioneer Fraser Valley family now engaged in the poultry busi- ness in Surrey. Charlie has also become well-known in this com- munity and though a young man, he has had seven years’ experi- ence in the grocery business. His friends wish him every success in establishing a in this new venture. The firm, although entirely lo- cal in every respect, still retains an pur i tion. Assistant salesman in the grocery department is Roy Beetle- stone of Huntingdon, while Mr. Charles Sumner, pioneer butcher of Abbotsford, has taken over the meat department of Modern Maw kets. Pottage & McIntosh indicate in their initial sale announcement a continuation of the policy that has made their store a popular market with housewives and pro- vision buyers and with personal ownership and local interest look forward to expansion- of their service to the MSA public. In tuberculosis, care and person- al discipline without climate are better than climate without care. —Osler.
