Cohen's

The history of the Cohen family dates back to the turn of the century, when Simon Cohen arrived from England to work with the Newfoundland Clothing Company in St. John's. He brought with him his wife and three sons.

He worked with the company for a few years, but left to try business on his own terms. Mr. Cohen left the island in 1905 and emigrated to the Unites States, where his four remaining children were born.

In 1919, soon after the end of the First World War, the Cohen family returned to Newfoundland. That year Simon and his eldest son Charles opened a general store in Grand Falls Station, which later became the Town of Windsor. The second son, Arthur, soon joined the business.

Goodyears

Josiah Goodyear, his wife Louisa, and their six sons and one daughter, moved to Grand Falls from Ladle Cove in 1906. They had five sons who served in the First World War, three of whom were killed.

After the First World War, the firm of J. Goodyear and Sons Ltd. was incorporated and began building roads and branching out in other fields of activity.
They were involved in actual construction work, then they got into hauling wood, supplying wood for the mill, and then for many, many years hauled coal around town, with horses and carts and sleds in the winter time. The horses were also used for freight express delivery and a taxi service.

The Globe and the Taiwan

When Harry Chow immigrated from China to Newfoundland in the late 1930's, he knew no one and understood very little English. Because he wasn't employed by the A.N.D. Company, he moved to Windsor, where he worked as a dishwasher at the Globe Caf� on Main Street. Mr. Chow eventually bought out the restaurant owners and became a restaurateur himself. He later constructed a second restaurant on High Street which he named the Taiwan.
