Propane is a more versatile fuel than
many people realize and Superior Propane
is expanding its store in Walkerton topro-
vide more roomto display products as well .
as increase stock.
Construction is scheduled to begin in May
for a 50 by 28' addition including a 12' deck
for outside displays. The new building will
include office space and a large showroom.
The existing building will be renovated for
storage and a parts office.
"We'll be able to give the public better,
faster, more efficient service," says Doug
Sprung, branch manager. "As it stands
now, the building is set up wrong. We don't
have the room to carry everythingand hav-
ing such a small display area shortchanges
the customer."
He says the present display area only,
allows a fewitems to be on view at a time.
Expanded facilities will make room for a
much wider range of products and will allow
customers to browse, something? which... is
close to impossible in •the small space .pro-
vided now.
Sprung is excited about the expansion not
only for the increased floor space it will pro-
vide, but for the, increased visibility 'of the
store itself,
He says many people don't 'realize that

Superior Propane carriesa wide range of
propane fueled appliances. Big store win-
dows and a new customer entrance facing
the road will be more ' inviting ., to the
customer and will physically change the
look of the business
There are 12 full-time employees at
Superior Propane including a sales
representative, office staff, service staff
and drivers. The business was originally
located downtown in 1954, butmoved to its
present location on Kincardine Highway in
the earlyt0s.
Sprung has been with the company since
1962 and worked in Owen Sound until just
over 'a year ago when he transfered to.
Walkerton as manager. '
The Walkerton branch of . Superior Pro-
pane covers a large territory,. as far-
reaching as S'helbourne, Point Clark Port
Elgin and Dundalk. The business•, caters to
propane needs in the home, on the farm and''
in industry.
Products for the home include ranges,
dryers,;,and water heaters. Propane-barbe-
ques are popular items and the gas is par-
ticularly useful for ,camping equipment.
"Probably about 90 per cent 'of they notor
homes in trailer parks, have gas heaters, gas
„cooking and gas -electric fridges," ,Says
Sprung,
On the farm, propane gas is used in
brooder barns, crop dryers, for heating and
as fuel for cars and trucks. Farre use is
especially important to Superior Propane,
which serves a large farming region.
Industrial uses for propane gas include
commercial heating, fryers, ranges, char-
broilers
harbroilers and dishwashers as well as for con-
struction, heating, fnrklifta ::and automotive
fuel uses 'for cars, trucks and buses.
Sprung says as • public awareness of
natural gas grows, so does the propane
business. "Natural gas has increased our
business."
He says most people are afraid of gas, but
increased public knowledge of natural gas
and its uses has meant "more business to
us►►
Siperior, Propane is inviting the public to
come to a barbeque on May 10. A huge tent
will' be set up in the parking lot and beginn-
ing at 9a;m., everyone is invited to come for
a,, visit and enjoy barbequed hot dogs and
pop, .compliments of Superior Propane. . -
Other branches of Superior Propanehave
held this event before, but this is the first
time for the Walkerton branch. Products
will be displayed outside and Sprung hope's
people will come and chat at the free barbe-
que.
Later in the year, once construction on the
new addition to the building has been corgi
pleted, Superior Propane will hold grand
