Goodwin PHONE 16 HENSALL Born in January, 1919, Bill's , first regular employment was with the Michigan State Hieh- i way Department following his !graduation from High School in 1937. When World War IT began. he joined the 'U.S. Air Force and served for 4'a years as Instru- ment Technician. After dis- charge, he went to college for 21/2 years—then left to onerate a jewellery shop as this closely paralleled the training he had !undergone in the services. This ! business was given up of course, when he re -joined the Air Force for second tour of duty. • Supervised 1,300 He believes that the experience he had in production control, time study, etc., while in the U.S.A.F.—where he was super- vising 1,300 technicians — has been Largely responsible for the success of the Hensel!. opera- tion. According to his estimates he has spent more time in Canada than in any other one spot since high Fchool, and feel quite at home in a small Canadian town. "We have, clubs, organizations and events here that can. keep anyone as busy as they choose to he, and we like it here," In addition, Bill is the current Pre- sident of the Canadian Mobile Home Association—an organiza- tion which has done much to improve m obilehome condisIons ;in the relatively short time that it has been in existence. He cannot understand any talk about market saturation and there are no limiting fac- tors. He points out that every boatload of immigrants repro- ' sents potential anobilehome buy- ers. These people are skilled in some line and have a limited amount of money. For a modest outlay they can have a 4,500 mo- ,bilehome that can house them much more adectuately than any other type of city accommoda• tion that they could afford and, what is more important. they can ,ply their trade whenever they can find work,. as they get rooted in the country. By so do, ing. they will not be saddled with make -shift -quarters in the city and can move readily as the em- 'ployment picture changes. Bill Smith's long range view is that the development of Canada is inexorably tiecl in with the i utility of the mobilehome, and that the industry's future is ' llll l very bright indeed!
