GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED BY CACCAMO'S Caccamo's Store in Schreiber are celebrating fifty years in business with a big sale and lots of free gifts. In an interview with Mrs. Clara Caccamo widow of the late "Tony" Caccamo who first started the business in 1919 we learned that only three of their first customers are still living. Te them, in appreci- ation of their early and continued patronage, gifts were presented. Mrs. Caccamo said that opening a business in those days required much thought and courage and when the doors opened and the early customers started to trickle in each one became a cherished friend. That the business has justified that early faith and lots of hard work is evidenced by the present spacious quarters and modern equipment. Also, a branch of the business has opened in Terrace Bay. The Schreiber store is now run by two sons, Josep and Gino and occasionally the elder Mrs. Caccamo takes a hand in the proceedings. The Terrace Bay store now belongs to another son Jack who makes his home there and serves on that township's council . We congratulate the family and hope that their Diamond Jubilee will be another big celebration. STOP IN SCHREIBER ENROUTE TO U.N.
