DRMCO ExpandsTruck Fleet
To Qffer Better Serice
The Dominion Road Machin-
ery Sales Company recently ex.
panded thi r fleet of service'
trucks by purchasing three new
vehicles from a pderich auto.
motive dealer.
President Bruce Sully, in
making the announcement, stat.
ed that his company would
henceforth be better equipped to
provide . their customers with
faster and more efficient ser.
vice.
The Goderich branch of the
DRM Sales company maintains
a fleet of nine service vehicles
9hout= Ontario,.. of-. which
five are presently operated '
from `.heir local sales and ser.
vice centre.
Four different vehicle types
are, represented in the DRM
Sales Company's local fleet.
Each of them is used for a
specific purpose.
A half -ton truck is used for
hauling worn-out or 'rebuilt
diesel engines to or from their
destination.
For heavier loads, such as
a grader transmission, which
weighs nearly 2000 pounds, ton
trucks are used.
The company._:also operates
a station wagon 'which is used
by a representative for making
courtesy calls.
DRMCO mechanics drive
another model, known as a uti.
lity vehicle. Built along .the
lines of a panel truck, this
van -type vehicle carries an ex.
pensive cargo.
The DRM Sales company pre-
sident estimated that this ve-
hicle carries about$5000. worth
of tools acid 'equipment. The
company, has about $3000, in.
vested, • he said, and the
mechanic owns the other $2000.
worth.
The DRM 'Sales Company was
established 19 years ago as
a separately owned subsidiary
firm. It sells and services
throughout Ontario, the Cham-
pion like of road graders, mann.
factured by the parent company,
Domion Road Machinery Co.
Thd original road grader
manufacturing company was
founded at Hamilton in 1886.
It transferred its operation to
Goderich in 1913.
The first graders mann•
factored by DRMCO were de-
signed to be pulled by horses.
With the coming of the automoo
tive age in the 20th centur2y,
the company converted its
grader to gasoline motor and
'-later, diesel powered models.
In recent years, the Champion
`Th;_line of diesel road graders
Manufactured at Goderich have
been sold to provincial and
municipal • governments all
across Canada.
Sales of Champion road
graders are not restricted to
Canada. They have been sold
to many countries in South Am.
erica, Africa, Europe and Aus-
tralia.
us.tralia.
DRM Sales Company branch.
es are widespread throughout
Ontario. At Windsor, NorthBay
and Toronto, are to be found
three of their largest sales
and service centres in Ontario.
From their Toronto' branch, -
located near Malton airport,
DRM Sales personnel can ex-
press an urgently needed grader
part by airplane to practically
any provincial capital within
a matter of hours.
The DRM Sales company at
Goderich has often used the
facilities offered at nearby Sky
Harbour airport. When a defer.
tive road grader in some remote
corner of the province suddenly
breaks down, the municipal of.
ficials: who purchased it from
DRM Sales company, expect and
demand quick response. If
.necessary, the company will
hire a Sky Harbour pilot to fly
one of their mechanics to the
trouble zone.
On one occasion, a. township
official near Sudbury contacted
the Goderich DR.M Sales office
and requ'*sted immediate re.
pairs to their municipal road
grader. A, diesel mechanic was
flown to the spot. He arrived.
at his destination by '7:00 a.m,.
made the necessary repairs and
was returned to Goderich in
time for his noon -day meal.
Rebuilding and overhauling
motorized road graders, of any
manufacture, represents an.
other important phase of the
company's operations. At their ;
Goderich plant, located at the
corner of" Victoria and Brock
streets, two graders are pre.
sently undergoing repairs.
However, the company's staff
of machinists, welders and
diesel. mechanics must spend
many hours of labour on these
machines before they •can be
sold again as "reconditioned".

Tree Of Nineties
Wes Simple
Ever wonder just what old-
time.rs were talking aboutwhen
they spoke of a "real old-fash-
ioned Christmas tree?"
Back in the 1,890's, it seems,
Christmas trees were both
Charming and simple.
At the very top of the tree
was a gilded, sparkling s t a r.
The branches were adorned
with such things as streamers,
flags, popcorn and cranberries
strung 'together, chains of gold
and silver paper, candles in
holders (we don't recommend
this, seems a fire hazard), pep-
permint canes, strips of gold
paper, Santa Claus dolls, an-
gels 'and cornucopias ("horns
of plenty") filled to, the brim
with candies.
Hard candies like sourballs
and peppermint canes were the
typical '/penny candies" or the
Nineties. The canes were placed
right,on the tree, the sourballs
either hung in little • bags or
used to stuff the gifts such as
wagons and drums at the base
of the tree.
