Histoire administrative
The La Have Outfitting Company were ship chandlers, as well as a fish exporter and sold general merchandise and groceries to the general public. They were also involved in buying and selling schooners. It was founded in the early 1900s, and was primarily run by the Gray family of La Have. Fraser Gray was the owner and acted as the general manager for the majority of the company's existence. As the shipping and fishery industry decreased, they operated mainly as a grocery store into the 1960s.
