The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1966-02-17, Page 3Time-Advocate, February 17, 1966 Pays 3 Grand opening for new dealer International Harvesters in Exeter are holding a grand opening under a new management. N. T. Monteith, 29, under whose name the operations here will continue, took over in November. During the winter months the building was renovated to prepare it for the spring season. Featuring I-H farm machinery, implements and trucks the busi- ness officially opens its doors Friday, February 18 with a dis- play of this year's machinery, a continuous movie show, a gener- ous treat of pancakes and coffee and door prizes for visitors. Company representatives will be in attendance to provide spe- cialized information. Mr. Monteith has been as- sociated with the I-H for the past 10 years and hails from St. Marys where he was engaged in similar business. He is married and nowresides in Exeter. At the same time the I-H ex- pressed its appreciation to F. W. Huxtable who managed the I-H dealership for the past 36 years for his loyal service with the company. Mr. Huxtable has re- tired from the business. The biggest and best This 60 foot mobile home is the largest and most deluxe ever manufactured by Custom Trailers. Design changes for 1966 have greatly altered the appearance of the interior, giving more room, more closet space and more light. (T-A photo) Local firm builds biggest home ever The largest and most deluxe mobile home ever manufactured by Custom Trailers here leaves in the near future for a trailer park in Ottawa. The new home incorporates all the desi gn changes as suggested by dealers at the Mobile home show held last November, Manager of Custom Trailers, William Smith, said this week that improved windows and im- proved heating systems have al- lowed for the inclusion of more windows making the t railer s brighter. Interior design changes and added length have changed the appearance of the interiors almost completely. The living room of the new unit is 21 feet by 12 feet and allows for more furniture and a higher degree of comfort. Added windows make the room seem brighter. The kitchen and dining areas are combined and separat- ed from the living room by a half wall china cabinet. The storage space has been greatly expanded in this three bedroom unit and the added length has allowed for a full wall closet as well as a built in chest of drawers for linen and clothes along the rear wall. Other changes include those in the bathroom where the fur- niture has been relocated and the location of the beating unit has been changed. This is another event in the success story of this new in- dustry which manufactured its first mobile home shortly over a year ago. Last fall the on e hundredth home left the plant after only one year of business and prospects this year look very bright. The popularity of the larger model homes is stretch- ing the capacity of the plant. The most recently manufactur- ed home is bound for a trailer park in Ottawa, Woodlawn Mobile Homes, which is a dealer for Cus- tom Trailers. The park is up- grading the quality of their home s due to the large number of ser- vice personnel stationed at Ot- tawa for longer periods of time, from three to five years. By MRS.
