The 1950's and 1960's


Frank died in the late 1950's and his widow, Kay Preston, carried on the business. Many customers fondly recall her making deliveries of furniture by tying it to the roof of her station wagon. Kay kept the business running soundly, establishing an impressive list of cottaging clients all over Muskoka and beyond. By the late 1960's, however, she was ready to sell the business.
