Cliff Sims Clothing Store and Ladies Shop
The Ladies Shop was located on the south side of Fraser Highway and owned and operated by Clifford E. Sims. Sims opened the Ladies Shop in 1939 in this previous Duckworth's Store location. By the 1950s he closed his Ladies Shop to concentrate on his men's wear store and dry cleaning business further east on the south side of the Fraser Highway.
