This is a page from the ROYAL GAZETTE. This newspaper was printed in the year 1904 on April 30. It is a special page made to show who had a peddlar's license. How the page is organized is easy to understand. The first thing you see (if you are looking from the right) is when the license expires.

Jewelry was very popular back in the days of the 1900's. This store was located in Summerside, P.E.I. This jewelry could also be found in a store rather than in a catalogue. These rings are from a typical Holman's catalogue. The price ranges from then and today are quite different. For example, a Gold Filled Ring cost 75 cents.

This is a picture of a shot gun from the 1926 Holman's Catalog. It was a 12 gauge bolt shot gun.

My Store is a wholesale and retail store (Sentner, MacLeod and Co.) that was around in the in the late 1800s and early 1900s on P E I. It was pretty big, around three stories, and it had a huge "My Store" sign. It was a big store and it had lots of windows. Many people would have used it for a post office, meeting place and store. It was not by itself; there were other stores right by it, so it would have had lots of competition. The stores right beside it might have been clothing stores, too. This store would have sold almost everything that the other stores would have had. The store was built of wood with some stone.

Peddlars like the one shown in this picture are NOT pack peddlars. Pack peddlars traveled on foot. They were commonly seen in the late 1800's and in the early 1900's. They would normally carry two packs of goods with them, the heavier one on the back and the lighter pack in front.
