Item from the Abikhair's Haberdashery Store on the corner of Olive street and Swift Street. Saad Abikahir opened his second haberdashery, S M Abikhair's Federal Stores in 1928 then the name became S M Abikhair's. His children, Allan, Walter and Thelma, along with his wife Shefia manned the store after Saad's death.
