Two young entrepreneurs of Yorkton, Clarence G. Langrill (left) and Fred Hukins are at work in their Real Estate office. Langrill was a partner with Hukins for just a short while before he went into his own Real Estate and Insurance business. His wife-to-be, Mary Elizabeth Rennie was a secretary in this office in 1911. According to the custom of the time, she no longer worked there after their marriage. Note the office ambiance; the varnished planked walls, the linoleum flooring, the elaborate wood and coal furnace. City of Yorkton Archives Dr. H. & Wilma Wilkinson Collection. We regret the error in the History Corner of March 4. The photo was of Dr. Clarence J. Houston, father of Clarence Stuart Houston.
