 Timothy Eaton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In promoting his new business, Eaton embraced two retail practices that were ground-breaking at the time: first, all goods had one price (no haggling) with no credit given, and second, all purchases came with a money-back guarantee (a practice expressed in what would become the long-standing store slogan of "Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded").
Although Timothy Eaton did not invent the department store, nor was he the first retailer in the world to implement a money-back guarantee, the chain he founded popularized both concepts and revolutionized retailing in North America.
Timothy Eaton died of pneumonia on January 31, 1907 and is buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto.

 Eaton's   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In 1883, Timothy Eaton opened a new four-storey department store in downtown Toronto, and by the time he died in 1907, Eaton's had two large stores and a Canada-wide mail-order service, which was no small feat in the days before mass transportation.
However, in Quebec, Eaton's played a very different role in the early 1960s: it was seen by many in the emerging Quebec nationalist movement as a symbol of English Canadian hegemony.
Eaton's continued to thrive through the 1980s, but was hurt in the 1990s by strong competitors such as the Hudson's Bay Company and Sears Canada, and by new specialty stores making their way up from the United States.

The Eaton's: The Rise and Fall of Canada's Royal Family chronicles the story of Eaton's from successful beginning, to tragic end, focusing mainly on what the private, and yet public family was like.
McQueen correctly shows the family coping with financial woes through excessive staff cutbacks starting in the 'seventies, but he fails to mention that this was a national phenomenon of the day, and applied to The Bay and other large stores as well.
The authors' synopsis that Eaton's failed because the family never took to the time to really understand retail could also have been applied to his own attempt to chronicle a business he never seems to have a grasp on.
