Description
Eaton's of Winnipeg was never just a store or just a building. It was an icon for generations of Winnipeggers. It was a place where many had their first job; a place where people met (by the statue or under the clock); a place where first toys, or first dresses, or first grown-up fedoras were bought; and of course, a place where people shopped. But it was the people, both the customers and employees, who made the store what it was.
