Enlarge text:  smaller  |  larger

Business was booming in Winnipeg in the early 1900’s as businesses seized the opportunities offered by large-scale settlement of the Prairies.

George R. Gregg, a salesman and manufacturer’s agent founded his company in Winnipeg in 1897. His market was in Japanese silks, a popular material for women’s afternoon and evening wear, but he also built a profitable business by importing other oriental textiles and items such as china, matting, rugs, curios and toys via a network of Asian buyers.
