    Known as "Canada's Department Store". Everything at Eaton's was great - really a class act. The Eaton's stores were the heart of downtown in cities across Canada for 130 years. I sure do miss them, especially at Christmas!

    If only I could step back in time and go shopping at Eaton's. I think everything we owned came from that store. They had a way of knowing what the customer would like, and so shopping was easy. Everything they sold was tasteful and sophisticated. Sure miss you Eaton's!

    Eaton's an iconic Canadian Institution. Amazing customer service, selection and presence in the community. No Canadian store has ever been comparable. Truly missed.

    Yeah Both Eaton's and Simpson's. Both Canadian Icons. Great stores, remember them when I was young. Both were big stores in Halifax, NS with stores in Dartmouth. I remember the Santas in both stores.

      The 1901 and 1927 catalogues are reproductions, published in the late 1960s or early 1970s. Unfortunately, the 1927 catalogue reproduction was done in black & white (other than the cover), to save money. The original 1927 catalogue was printed with many pages in full colour.

      You could save them and enjoy them, or you could put them up for sale on Ebay. Or, if you have a scanner and a lot of time, you could scan the pages and save the digital images, then sell the catalogues.

    I have a question for anyone out there. In 1985 I visited an Eatons museum in the Yorkdale Mall. An older woman was working there at the time and I gave her a copy of a photo I had of a Eatons delivery cart that she said was used on Center Island. She was shocked that I had it because she claimed no pictures of these carts exsit only drawings. What happened to that museum? I still have the original negative if anyone is interested as a photo of 4 salea girls from Eatons. )One of them is my Grandmother at 17 years old who died in 1988 at the age of 104. contact me Gord at

    My grandfather worked for Eaton's designing for the Fancy Goods department - needlepoint, cross stitch etc. I am looking for any patterns, table cloths, napkins or other items of this nature which have the Eaton's label.
    Eaton's hosted art contests for its employees and from this my grandfather also sold some of his watercolour paintings, mostly of the Toronto area. I am interested in locating any of his paintings signed C.S. Walker or CSW. heatherjanderson@gmail.com

    I am in the UK. I have been looking through a box which belonged to my grandmother and found a very old battered catalogue. It is an Eaton's catalogue from the Fall & Winter of 1922-23. I remember my grandmother telling me she spent a few years in Canada around this time so she must have brought it back to the UK with her.

    It is fascinating reading it on a cold and snowy afternoon.

    I found a roll of LIGHT BROWN strip ( looks like cotton) ribbon with
    Yellow embroidery on it :
    EATON'S OF CANADA repeated all along it. I have a pic of it.
    Wondering what it was used for. I have quite a bit of it and wonder if it's worth anything.

    I have a roll of light brown colored strap like material .
    It has yellow embroidery on it that says; EATON'S OF CANADA

    I remember going to Eatons (Queen Street Store) with my older sister & my mom at Christmas. We went downtown to see Santa and then went for a ride on the train that went all around Toy Land, at the end of the ride we got a Pumpkin Head Book and a present (usually a book, game or puzzle). My mother used to say that T. Eaton Company had the biggest selection of dolls in Toronto (my sister and I always got a doll for Christmas),I still have some of them. It was always fun to go to the Annax and have soft chocolate ice cream or an ice cream sandwich and watch the ladies making the waffles. It was such fun to go shopping and hide from my mom in amongst the clothes. That was not fun for her trying to find two kids in amongest the clothes. I used to take my little boys down so they could enjoy the store like I did as a child. Such fun never forgotten.....June Sagness

    I found this web site while looking for something and have to say very excited to share my memories.
    My mom had only one credit card all her life and it was to Eaton's, which she would use every summer to buy her 4 children all their new school clothes every year for years. We Lived in Quebec and always went to the downtown Montreal Store. I loved the elevators and the attendants who would announce both in English and French which floor we were stopping at. I remember getting many wonderful things there but my first personal purchase was a Rubix Cube that I bought in the huge toy section.
    In the store was a plaque with the names of the WWII family members of employees who were killed in action and I can't tell you how awed I was when I found my great uncles name there.
    I was able to bring my son there once before it closed ( I now live on Cape Cod in MA). I don't know where that plaque now resides but I do hope it is treated as the treasure it is. There are many more treasured memories about going to Eaton's throughout my life. They are that much more special as I age.
    I hope anyone else who has had the chance to share there thoughts takes a minute to do so.

    I used to work for Eaton's in the 80's. What a great company to work for! As a little girl, my dream job was to be an elevator lady in the old Eaton's store. I never got to be "the elevator lady", but the first morning that I was assigned to open the store, I arrived early enough to ride the elevator and live the dream! Great memories! We always got Christmas cards from the Eaton family with the Christmas portrait. I have to go look for those cards, I may still have them!

    I have two T Eaton Co Limited catologue reproduction prints.They were sold for a limited time at Eatons. My aunt bought them because she was trying to save money in her pursuit of a high quality picture frame for some pictures she had taken. The story goes that she obtained quotes for a nice frame which was several hundred dollars. Then, at Eaton's she saw the prints in a very nice frame, and she thought she'd by them for the frame as the cost was a fair bit cheaper than the custom made frame prices she was quoted. I say this because I'm guessing she probably paid about $150.00 - $250.00 at the time, but, I do not know. Anyways she gifted two of them to my mother who left them to me. They are both limited edition prints, of which only 2000 were made. Both are in the first 50 prints. Does anyone have any idea of their value. Feel free to email me at rcormier1@bell.net if you have any information about these, or are interested in buying them. I've searched online and I can't find any others.

    i wish i could see those escalators again. I love the small one at the Eatons college store near the south entrance. It is no longer in view and blocked of..I wonder if I asked, that someone could open the door and let me see it...it is suppose to be there still.

    My dad Jim O'Neill worked at Eaton's in downtown Edmonton as a Salesman in Major Appliances, other then a paper route as a kid Eaton's was his only employer. He worked on commission bases and had many loyal and repeat customers who even had later generations of their families ask for him when buying appliances because of good service they received. He worked there from 1941-1980. He served his country during the war and returned to Eaton's and worked there until the day he passed. His employment at Eaton's helped him and his wife Norma (who worked part time at Woodward's) raise six kids. I have many fond memories as a kid attending Eaton's family Christmas parties and attending family Christmas shopping day where the store was open just for employee families to shop. I also recall sometimes watching the wall of television sets while waiting for him to get off work so I could ride home with him if I was downtown for dentist appointment or something of the sort. I now collect many things Eaton's related. I would also be very interested in reading your book once it is published.

    Well if you ever feel like searching through your records and find out those statistics please post them! I've been trying to compile a list of Canada's largest department stores (out of my own curiosity) but finding anything about the Toronto store is a challenge, simply because results are flooded about the current Eaton Centre.
    I agree with you in that the current store already looks dated. I believe nowadays we have more insight and foresight when it comes to heritage preservation, at least compared to the 60's and 70's when most North American cities were trying to "modernize". Winnipeg almost lost its Exchange District in that decade, there were plans to build freeways through it and several high rise buildings.

      That is a good question. Eaton's factories were located to the west of the main store on Yonge at Queen Streets. The little Trinity Church was once surrounded by 14-story factory buildings. The factory complex eas essentially to the west of the present-day Eaton Centre. There is a history and diagrams in my book - I should hope they have it at your local library.

Instead of the wholesale destruction of these gritty but handsome buildings, that occurred in the 1970s, I wish that they had been renovated and re-purposed for various uses. They were incredible and the complex would be recognized as one of the finest industrial heritage sites in North America my opinion. You really ought to take a look at my book. It was a labour of love since I didn't make a cent off of it after all of the time, research fees, photo royalties anad travel I did in order to tell this beautiful story of a family and a store.

    My father worked for Eatons as a furniture buyer for over 30 years and when he retired he got nothing. Nothing! The sons were rich and the descendants got money and my father lived off CPP. Shameful awful behavior. The Eaton family and their descendants should be ashamed and embarrassed.

      All employees that worked for Eaton were enrolled in a retirement savings plan after 5 years of employment, this was not part of the company's assets and could not be accessed by the creditors. The savings plans of employees were protected by law.

    Hello I have a horse hide leather jacket that has a T. Eaton label, and I am trying to date it. It has a rough wool lining. Be very interested to find out something about it.

    I have a desk with a brass label on the back. Would like to know the year and description as there appears to be missing a top piece. There is a number 214 on the back.

    I have a distant relative...John Hays Hammond...from Northern Ireland who was the chief buyer for the stationery department of Eaton's in Toronto after WW I. We found him and his wife so sophisticated and urbane...they always wore the best of everything when they came to visit in Indiana.

    I have in my possession, as I was told, the main clock that the office staff of the downtown Toronto T Eaton company came and went by daily.
    I would love to have this verified if possible.
    Not sure how this can be done other that maybe a picture of some kind.
    It still is running…
