David White, was employed as a section foreman with the CPR and arrived in Banff in 1886. He remained working with the CPR in the Banff area until 1894. He then left the CPR and purchased a building, a lot, some merchandise and thus became a General Merchant by opening his Park Store in October, 1894. Later three sons, David Jr., Clifford and Peter were taken in as partners by 1930 and the business became known as Dave White and Sons.
