In the mid-1950s, Blake and Ruth McKendry became interested in art, rare books and antiques, both as sellers and collectors. During this period, at a time when Canada’s decorative arts were only beginning to be appreciated, the McKendrys operated The Pioneer Shop in Ottawa. They started their business at a time when Canadians were less interested in collecting their own material culture. Since then we appear to have awakened to the values associated with past generations and that awareness to a large extent is due to the pioneering spirit of collectors and dealers like the author.
