Historical information

Jager Stores is a heritage-listed building on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia. It was originally built as an Oddfellows Hall.
Jager assumed ownership of the property in 1939, the premises becoming known as Jager's Store. In 1940 Jager had taken over the agency of the Shell Oil Company. In May 1946, during the Second World War, he made available a room adjoining his store for use by the Toodyay Voluntary Aid Detachment unit. In 1950 the Toodyay Newsagency was advertised as operating from this site. In the 1952 Toodyay Agricultural Show schedule of prizes two separate businesses were advertised, a newsagency and a general store. By 1956 each had separate telephone numbers.
1953 newspaper advertisements notified the public that Jager was the agent for Yeates and Yeates, Optometrists and Opticians of 44 St George's Terrace Perth,as well as being the sole district distributor of Electrolux appliances.
In 1956 Jager was notified by the Toodyay Road Board that his shop verandah was required to be modified due to road widening. The Road Board contributed to a quarter of the cost.
