Benzie & Miller
Benzie & Miller was a small department store chain based in Scotland and became part of House of Fraser in 1958.
==Early History==
Benzie & Miller was set up as a department store in 1920 by an amalgamation of business' in Fraserburgh, Scotland.
In 1886 a 21-year-old William Benzie took over the management of a drapery business in Mid Street, Fraserburgh called ''The Colosseum''. Within a year he had set up shop in Buckie with his own store, but was asked to take over the business in Fraserburgh from Mitchell & Co, and sold the Buckie business shortly afterwards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Through the Years with Benzie & Miller Fraserburgh 1887-1937 )〕 In 1896 William built a new shop on the opposite side of the street as the business was expanding, and in 1898 a powerplant was installed to provide the store with electric light - a first for Fraserburgh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=House of Fraser Archive : Companies : Benzie & Miller )〕 The store continued to grow with several extensions being added to the rear of the building.
James Miller was an apprentice cabinetmaker whom knew William Benzie. It was at William Benzie's recommendation that he joined a local cabinetmaking business, which he eventually took over after the death of the business owner. The business continued until the First World War when Miller sold the business as he was uncertain of his future.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Through the Years with Benzie & Miller Fraserburgh 1887-1937 )〕 On returning from the war Miller rebuilt his business from scratch.
