"Canada's largest and most well-known department store, Eaton's was a cultural icon for generations. With its famed catalogue and network of large stores spreading coast to coast, Eaton's offered something for everyone--and in grand style. Presenting detailed research, vintage images and fond memories from patrons and employees, department store historian Bruce Allen Kopytek tells the full story of the beloved retail institution founded in 1869. Relive the days when this remarkable shopping destination was a fixture in every Canadian province, serving customers with a distinctive personality that has all but vanished from the retail landscape."--From publisher.
