Up until the seventies, Bill was Mr. Duthie, and the staff wore the usual working clothes: shirts and ties for the men, skirts or dresses for the women. But then we changed with the times. One day, when H.R. MacMillan came into the store, he went down to the paperback cellar where King Anderson was working in a bright orange shirt and a solid black tie. When Mr. MacMillan came back up the stairs, he walked straight over to Bill and asked, “What tribe does he belong to?" Later, King switched to a T-shirt and tie.
