Administrative history
Moose Jaw Plumbing and Heating started in 1905, under the auspices of Moose Jaw Hardware Company Ltd., operated by William B. Hawke at 48 Main Street. There are also references to a John Hawke being involved with the business early on. The 1904 Henderson Directory had listed W.B. Hawke as a tinsmith in Moose Jaw.
The 1913 Henderson lists Moose Jaw Heating and Plumbing as a separate entity for the first time with William Hawke as manager. Moose Jaw Hardware Company continues to operate, with new management listed. It would seem that Hawke decided to concentrate on the heating and plumbing business.
It continued to be owned by Hawke, and later his son, until 1975 when the business was sold to Hans Schneider.
The first location of Moose Jaw Plumbing and Heating (distinct from Moose Jaw Hardware- post 1913) was 307 Fairford St. West at the corner of 7th Avenue (Now 3rd Ave NW).
The business was relocated to 64 High Street West ca. 1917 and remained there until moved to the current location at 31 Thatcher Drive East in 1980.
