     The first store was in a house across the road on property 
     
     now owned by Walter Dixon. Some years later, a new one was built 
     
     at its present location by Louis Stewart. After the Second World 
     
     War, this store was taken over by his son, John, and later by a 
     
    
   
   
    
     grandson, Edgar. At present it is attended by Mrs. Robert A. 
     
     Dixon.

     The Hughes store was located on what was known as Knights 
     
     Land, East Baltic. It was built and owned by J. J. Hughes who had 
     
    
   
   
    
     several stores built in different areas about the time the rail—

     After the closing of the store the property was bought by
