Ti My Many Coltman and Friends, 1 am very pleased. to officially announce that 1 have sold the assets of my company to MONTGOMERY MOTORS LTD.

James and tan Montgomery bring with them a wealth of service and sales experience, having been working with their father, Gordon since '1948when he established the Ford dealership in. Lucknow. When one considers the closeness of the 2 locations you then realize withregard to service,parts: availability, body shop facilities, etc., just how efficient their potential for a superb service department will be. To know that most of my employees will beretained, that Kincardine has not lost a Ford dealer, 1 will not now, be forced . to leave, but will remain as General Manager for the Montgomerys, is an amazing turn of events. This unexpected development now allows me to remain as your Ford Dealer until March 31, 1982, when the Mon- tgomerys take over with their new company "MONTGOMERY FORD MERCURY SALES LTD:" I will be working with James, the new President, while lan, the new Vice -President will be managing Lucknow. I would now like to add. that, on Jan. 27, 1982, when I announced that GLEN HURON " FORD would be closing Feb. 28, 1982, things looked extremely bleak. I stated publicly at that time that there can be a great future for our area if we do not lose faith. I didn't, and still believe strongly that we in Kincardine are fortunate indeed to live here. I' 11 Once again, my sincere thanks to everyone. Sincerely! r sfstsi,�Un " GLEN HURON FORD MERCURY SALES LTD. Kincardine
