Scope and Content

Certificate of appreciation given to Alex Nepitt for being a dealer of the Imperial Oil Limited Company since 1914

Context

Alex Nepitt was born in the Ukraine and came to Canada in 1909. In 1912 he moved to Sellwood and opened Nepitt's General Store on Young Street. He married Mary Palewictz in 1913. When the Sellwood mine closed in 1923, the Nepitts moved to Capreol where they set up another general store. The store in Capreol was built out of the bricks that were used in the construction of their original general store in Sellwood. The Nepitts ran the general store for thirty-five years, supplying life necessities to tourists, section workers, INCO, and the Department of Lands and Forests.
