The first edition of the Wawanesa Enterprise, published
on December 23, 1892, ran an ad for E.L. McDonald, “Dealer in Watches,
Clocks, Jewellery & Silverware”. The picture above was taken in
1909 when the community was incorporated as a village.
We know little about Mr. McDonald’s personal life as he isn’t mentioned
in Sipiweske, but we have to assume that his long standing says
something about his commitment to the community and to his occupation.
Dec. 23, 1892
On Dec 8, 1893, the Enterprise reported that; “A few nice styles in
pipes at McDonald the jeweller’s, which are to be cleared out, as he is
going out of the pipe trade. Call and get a corn-cob pipe. Don’t cost
you anything.”
