A: My old Canadian dictionary says that proprieter also means "business 
operator". As in owner and operator. YMMV

At the risk of sounding like an English major (which I am not), I find it 
distressing when people use words inproperly. Specefically, I am refering to 
your phrase "Owner & Proprieter".

We all know what the word "Owner" means,

but do you understand what "Proprieter" actually means?

My college dictionary defines "Proprieter" as: "1. One with legal title to 
something: owner. 2. The owner or owner-manager, as of a business".

So by saying "Owner & Proprieter", you are actually saying that you are the 
"owner and the owner and the manager".

Is that the impression that you want to project?
