Original Toronto Star caption: In front of statue of Timothy Eaton, the store's founder, the Eaton brothers discuss their store's future. They're in the foyer of new Eaton Centre at Yonge and Dundas Sts. From left: John Craig, 39, Thor, 34, Fredrik Stefan, 38, and George, 31. Once a week, formally, they meet in Fred's office to discuss business. They're among Canada's wealthiest men, just how wealthy they are is moot. Eaton's is a private company. Its balance sheets are not for public scrutiny.

Behind counter of his flagship Diana Sweets stores, company president George Boukydis ponders the future of his $6 million a year enterprise. Stores stopped selling candy some years ago when firm's key candy maker retired after 45 years of service. An adequate replacement was not found and now, says Boukydis, it's getting tough to find pastry cooks. The supermarkets are stealing what few there are left.
