Gordon and Anderson Ltd.
Hardware Store
4606 Lazelle Ave, Terrace BC

This partnership hardware store started in Prince Rupert in 1938.

Owners
Lee Murray Gordon- Secretary Treasurer (1905 - 1990)
John Gunnard Anderson- President (1900 - 1978)

1939 Prince Rupert Directory shows them at 350-358 W. 3rd Ave.

Even back then they sold everything:
Electrical Supplies, Refrigerators, Washing Machines,
Radios, Hardware, Furniture, Range Oil burners.

When I moved to Terrace in 1969
They had already expanded their business to Terrace.
Where they had their store at 4606 Lazelle, has been changed
a couple times over, today a Chinese Restaurant (2016).

This store was packed full of everything, narrow aisles,
but for some strange reason, the clerks knew where everything was.

1977 they were part of the "Link Hardware Stores"

I know there are other books written about this area,
I don't intend to repeat history, but only to add to it.
I add the genealogy info in case there is a relative out there,
that had no clue their ancestor was in this area.
I hope anyone reading this, respects these areas.
I don't have to re write history on the native population in this area.
It goes without writing it, they were here first.
My pages try and connect old history with the new.
My names and dates above are as close as I can find.
Please use these as clues in your own research.

I am an Amateur Historian, and Genealogist.

I do a quick search for the names on these pages.
Therefore I do NOT profess to have 100% accurate information.
Use my info as a clue to do your own research.
I am not related to these folks, nor do I have hidden info.
I encourage everyone to visit their local Museum,
or buy a local history book for more info.
I attempt to connect people with their ancestor in these places.
