knitting machine and she knit socks and mitts that she sold in the store. (32) Doris MacDonald , who grew up in Greenwich , recalled visiting this store and being in awe of the bell that rang when she entered the store: "It was attached to the door and rang when the door opened. It was quite the thing." (33) Father Wendell Maclntyre recalls that his father, Mike Maclntyre had the first running business in the Selkirk area, which ran from 1926- 1963. (34) This store also served as the post office, with Mike Maclntyre as postmaster. Joe Maclnnis 's took over the store in 1963. According to Hazel Maclnnis of Selkirk , "Every three miles there was a store." (35) In Selkirk , there was a store located just North of the Railway tracks, which was owned and operated first by Ronnie J. MacAdam , and later by his brother A.J. MacAdam . This store also had a warehouse to house goods and was located just north of the store. When the Co-operative movement began in the 1920s/1930s, the people of Monticello and St. Margarets worked together to open a Co-op store in 1935/36. Angus McCormack was the first person to run the C- op and was followed by A.J. MacAdam . The store quickly folded, however, because the money simply wasn't there.

This store is known today by many as "MacPhee's Store." Built in 1942, the store was operated by John's son Kenneth and his wife Bertha MacPhee until it closed in 1975: We sold everything in the store - not only groceries: Feed, pig feed, molasses - it came in big barrels. People would come in with their gallon jars. Kerosene was the same; they'd come with their can for kerosene. Sold a lot of nails, steeples, motor oil, grease, and wagon grease at that time. Wire, boots, men's work wear, and caps were also sold. There was a big trout pond here at one time. Every weekend people used to come with their campers. They bought a lot of stuff; they'd want eggs, and cream or milk. They'd come looking for that and we'd count on it. There would be any where from twelve to fifteen campers lined up. Larkin's Pond they called it. (37) THE CO-OP STORE Co-operative ideas, practices, and mentality have long been present in the Island's rural communities. The Co-operative movement, having its origins in Great Britain, reached the Island in the last quarter of the 1800s.
