Baildon Red & White Store

This building was originally built as a community hall in the early 50's in Baildon, Saskatchewan. After several years it was moved to the rink area and used as a "rink house". After, the building was unused until we got it. The grey counter is the oldest one, the turquoise counter is more recent. Both counters were used in the orginal Baildon Red and White store. The curved display case was once used in the Maple Leaf Bakery in Moose Jaw. Customers and clerks could warm themselves by the potbelly stove. The object that looks like a large football is a hog oiler. The farmer would fill it with used crank-case oil so the pigs could rub up against it getting oil all over their skin. The oil kept flies and sun from injuring their sensitive skin.
