Your Council, Herb Clark, Reeve Ab Murray, Sr. Councillor Eldon Mann, Councillor George Anderson, Councillor George Gibson, Councillor Warming hearts and homes for 50 years As of this week, Chisholm Fuels of Lucknow has been warming the hearts and homes of their customers for 50 years. It was early October, 1938 that Ben Chisholm was appointed agent for Imperial Oil with a teritory which included Lucknow proper and an area as far north as'Kinlough. Back in the days of horse and buggies, the most called for petroleum products were axle grease and coal oil kerosene, Until Ben Chisholm arrived on the scene, these products were delivered to Lucknow from the Imperial Oil Depot in Goderich, first by horse drawn tank wagons and later by truck. Needless to say, this was a rather ineffi- cient way of serving customers to the north and so it was that Ben began a half century of service to the area. The first customers of Chisholm Fuels are remembered well even 50 years later. Isaac Miller's St. Helen's Store was the first permanent customer to benefit from the Chisholm service. To commemorate this fact, the staff at Chisholm's recently presented Isaac's daughter Isobel with a gift of a 400 day clock and a special not which read: "Please accept this gift as a token of ap- preciation on behalf of all our valued customers, especially you, Isobel, for 50 years of cheerful loyalty." Milking subsidized the oil In the early days of the oil business, it was the Chisholm family farm which sub- sidized the new venture. Ben's son Grant, who runs the business today, can remember milking cows to keep the fledgl- ing business afloat. "I remember Mom and I out milking cows while Dad was hauling fuel by hand," says Grant. "It was quite a job back then, especially in the snow," Indeed, when the first oil burning fur- naces were installed in this area back in 1942, fuel was carried in five gallon pails by hand through all kinds of weather. "We kept in pretty good shape back then," laughs Grant, with a pat of his generous midsection. "Now, as you can see, we use trucks." A family business Follwoing World War II, with hydro reaching the rural areas and tractors replacing horses, the oil business expand - Grant and Bill Chisholm on the lot. ed. It was at this time that Grant came out of the milking barn and lent his hand to the business proper.. Grant was no stanger to the area and its people having pitched for a number of Lucknow fastball teams including the area's first WOAA Championship team. Grant and wife Wilma moved to Lucknow in 1961 and remained as the Esso agent until 1970. At that time the business had expanded enough to allow the Chisholm's to become an independent distributor for Sunoco products. Business boomed, staff was added and soon a full fleet of the blue and yellow. trucks from Chisholm's could be seen ply- ing the roadways of both Huron and Bruce Turn to page 9 • A special presentation was trade recently by the staff of Chisholm Fuels to help celebrate their 50th anniversary in business.
