Histórico
Whimster’s Hardware was established in Moose Jaw in 1923 on 61 River St. W. by Murdo F. Whimster. Before coming to Moose Jaw, Mr. Whimster went into the hardware business in 1902 in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. In 1906 he moved to Calgary. In 1916 he established a hardware business in High River, Alberta. After two years on River Street, in 1925 Mr. Whimster relocated his hardware store to 23 Main St. N. In 1937 he turned the business over to his son Donald J. Whimster and moved to California. In 1944 Donald J. sold the business to long time employee Austin T. Ellis, and Les Turner. Both Murdo and Donald finally settled in Lethbridge, Alberta.
