Reginald MacKay, who to the best
of our knowledge is the only boy in
Ocala called Reggie" is in charge of
the sporting goods department of
MacKay & Company. He was cut out
for the job. for he and guns and fish
ing tackle have a mutual understand
ing, and his fingers are loving as well
as skillful as they take to pieces and
reassemble, for the benefit of some
customer, the intricate parts of a
modern rife or shotgun. He has the
gift of imparting his knowledge to
others, and by the time Reggie" has
explained anything to you, you are a
dummy if you don't understand. He
was a student first in the Ocala
schools, then in the Woodbury. Forest
School of Virginia. He came home
from the latter school to help his
father and brothers start off the new
firm right, and when he has them
headed in the proper direction expects
to take a year or two off and finish his,
education.

STORY OF THE BIG FIRE
George MacKay & Company Suffered
The Greatest Loss, But Other Firms
We're Also Heavy Losers.
(Ocala Star. February 18th, 1922


A black, gray and red mass Of
smouldering ruins marks today where
one of the finest stores in Florida
stood, on North Magnolia street yes
terday, and fre-scarred and smoke
daubed buildings around it are proof
of how desperate a fight was waged
to check a confagration that for an
hour or two threatened to burn the
business heart out of Ocala.
About Ais this morning an alarm
called the fire department to the stores
and warehouses of George MacKay &
Company on North Magnolia street.
When it arrived, the interior of the
furniture department was a raging
furnace. Chief Raymond saw at once
that he and his helpers could not save
the store, and Immediately bent every
effort to prevent the fire spreading, in
which, after a long, fierce battle they
succeeded, but not until MacKay's
main building and one warehouse
were entirely destroyed, and the ad-
joining buildings were greatly dam
aged.
The loss amounts to nearly $780,
900, the main brunt of which falls on
MacKay & Company, whose loss is at
least a quarter of a million. Their
big double store for furniture and
hardware, stock and all, is clean

start and for over a quarter of CEN
fury was we'll and favorably known
throughout Florida as one of the
largest and most reliable business
houses in central Florida. Their mer-
chandise, machinery and building ac-
Invites were commonly known for
radius of over a hundred miles.
In August 1920 the firm of George
NacKay & Company was organized to
purchase and take over the interests
of McIver & MacKay, George Mac
Kay associating with him his four
sens, Robert A. D. MacKay, vice presi-
dent and manager of the mercantile
department; Alfred J. MacKay, secre-
tary; Kenneth H. and Reginald Mac
Kay, who each fill positions of trust
II the new firm, which by every indi-
cation is destined to continue to be
one Of the most enterprising and pro-
gressive business houses in central
Florida, and through fair and honest
dealings, prompt and courteous serv-
ice, hopes to merit public confidence
and patronage.
Mr.. MacKay is also president and
treasurer of the Ocala Iron Works.
