Twenty-four years ago Harry
Schaufler was an apprentice in
Germany learning the skills of
furniture restoring and
upholstering. Today he owns and
runs the 'Canadian Furntiure
Restorers plant, employing nine
people, at 168 Thames Road
West, Exeter. •
It is a long way to come and the
road to success has taken hard
work.
In Europe Harry spent three
years studying interior and
exterior decorating, carpet
installation, colour co-ordination,
as well as refinishing woodwork.
Once his apprenticeship went
through, he spent another four
years as a volunteer worker
gaining a full knowledge of the
trade.
In 1959 he decided to come to
Canada. His first job here was in
the construction industry, but
before long he was back in the
furniture business with a job with
National Furniture Restorers in
Landon.
Harry decided by 1963 to -start
an independent business in the
Exeter area which ran full time
from 1963 to 1965. But demand
wasn't strong enough so' from
1965 to 1973 he only worked on
iture restoring and
refinishineon a part time basis..
Then about two years ago he
bought the building at. 168
Thames Road West .and started
up a full time business again.
It is obvious that Harry takes
pride in las work and enjoys it,
"The contact with the
individual customer is what I like
about it," lie says, "It gives a
person a lot of satisfaction to see
a job well done and a 100 percent
satisfied customer."
But he thinks of his upholstery
and refinishing trade as more
than just a business, he thinks of
it as a teaching process as well,
Back in 1963 Harry worked with
the Ministry of Labour Manpower
and Training branch to set up an
apprenticeship program, the first
of its type in Ontario, Under the
program he teaches an apprentice
such things as job safety,
upholstering and •frame repairsy-
spring installation, padding and
stuffing, and upholstery covering.
Harry also teaches , each

At Sea forth
Men plead guilty
• • to misch mischief arge
Eighteen year-old Keith
Murray of R.R.4, yValton and 22
year-old Pat Delaney of R.R.1,
Dublin, were each fined $500 or
50 days in' jail on a charge of
mischief in provincial court in
Seaforth, last Wednesday. They
each pleaded guilty in court.
The pair was jointly charged
July 4 in Seaforth.
Evidence given was that they
had gained entrance through 'a
'side door at the Seaforth Fire Hall
at 3:30 a.m. July 4 after attending
a stag party where they had
consumed a number of 'drinks. A
water tanker truck belonging to
.the Seaforth Fire Area Board was
driven out of the garage, drivemin
McKillop Township and -then
abandoned 1 1/4 miles east and one
mile north of St. Columban. The
tanker truck was left temporarily '
inoperable as a fire fighting truck
because of damage.
Mr. Murray phoned police
Constable Ronald Lauzon of
Seaforth and gave him the
location of the truck around 6:45
a.m. -
In assessing the penalty, Judge
H. Glen Hays said, "1 can„only
hope that such a monetary
penalty. the maximum, would
serve as a deterrant to others.
They will have this on their
record for a long time to come."
Judge Hays said while jail
terms were indicated because it
was an offence against the public
and because of the very real
potential danger to the publi c,,he
thought a jail term would pose an
almost insurmountable bar to Mr.
Murray's continued studies at
University. He said he•took into
• consideration the fact it was their
-first court appearance, that' they
had• made restitution by paying
for damages to the water tanker,
and their •excellent • behaviour
since the crime,
They were given two Months to
pay their fines.
