About MeHebe Sports going away suit in pale eau de nil wool crepe with silk blouse and matching hat. This outfit was worn by the donor after her wedding at St John's Episcopal Church on 24th June 1950. Watt & Grant was one of our most prominent department stores, established in the 1880s and trading until the mid 1980s. In its time it was one of the biggest silk mercery and drapery businesses, established by Alexander Watt and John Grant, who gave their names to the store. Watt & Grant was the store to go to for the complete outfit.
