winter, but is open from the middle of March until the end of June for cleaning and treating seed grain.

Necessary changes were made to meet the requirements of this limited operation. Crushers no longer used were removed, an extra grain cleaner was installed, and necessary adjustments were made to facilitate handling bulk grain. Blair was a dealer for Shut-Gain and Master Feeds, Kensington. Presently the back end of the feed mill is used as a video outlet.

TURNER’S STORE

In 1903 Henry Turner chose a vacant lot as the site for the con- struction of a general store. This lot was never vacant again. It has since housed many important businesses in O’Leary. The store was located on Main Street across from Petro Canada Service Station. Henry Willis Turner, original owner, built the store. In 1916 he suf- fered a stroke and was forced to give up the business. He had three children: Percy, Brenton Harold (known as Jack) and Daisy. His son, Percy, then joined the business but soon saw better opportunities elsewhere. Percy sold the store to Sinclair and Stewart of Summerside and moved to Charlottetown. Sinclair and Stewart chose Vernon Matthew as their representative to come to O’Leary and operate the store for them.
