There were American Ford tractors, and Canadian and English models as well. "We didn't sell many of the English models." The tractor sales shop was down Inglis Street behind where Bain's k today. When the then new garage went up across from the arena, the tractor part of the operation was sold to Reavie's, now west of the village. That garage was built in 1951 after the old blacksmith's shop was torn down. Beside the blacksmith's shop was an implement dealership owned by George ,lndrew and Montgomery bought that building as well. To put a bodyshop onto the back of the building behind the parts department, he had the hill on which the watertower stands partially dug out. Many will remember. the furniture factory standing where the new facility now sits. When the opportunity arose, Montgomery bought that as well, tore it down and used it as a parking lot for the buses with an eye to eventually building a new garage. After the years of building up Mont- gomery's there are 47 buses on the road and Montgomery's eldest son James has the Ford Mercury dealership in Kincardine. Youngest son Ian has taken over most duties at the Lucknow dealer- ship. "Ian is really the dealer now," said the elder Montgomery, The new garage has five bays, a parts department and front offices for staff. All those areas had interested people investigating the new building. Every- one packed the front of the new Montgomery's to hear congratulations to Gordon Montgomery for his success and wishes for many more successful years.
