A History of Elmsdale , West, and Brockton , Prince Edward Island act of incendiary nature. One of the windows was broken and the premises thus entered by a thief but whether he set fire to the place by in¬ tention or by accident is at present unknown. The party under suspicion has since left the prov¬ ince. Another article from the Island Farmer August 29,1929 revealed: " A. L. Rennie is in a temporary building starting Au¬ gust 24th and is well stocked again for the needs of all the community." Arthur Rennie also bought eggs and but¬ ter from his customers in exchange for merchandise or cash. When A.L. Rennie built his new store he put in electric lights. The gas tanks also had lights to see how many gallons of gas you were receiving. The store had the power plant in the basement and he ran a line down to his house. Also on the Rennie prop¬ erty was what they called a "Dairy", it was a cellar built in the back yard with a roof over it and was well insulated with sawdust or seaweed. You entered the dairy, opened a hatch and went down a ladder to a space about ten or twelve feet square. That's where the milk, cream, eggs and other things were kept.
