From a very humble begin-
ning just a few years ago,
Huron Pines Company Limited,
a Huron County development
firm based in Clinton, has
grown to a large and
prosperous construction in-
dustry employing 13 people at'
present and expanding every
day.
Founded by Budd Kuehl of
Clinton, the company has ex-
panded from a one man
operation of a year ago to its
present size with a lot of plan-
ning and thinking.
Presently the company is
heavily involved in the house
construction ,trade- in Clinton,.
and area and also specializes in
the electrical contracting
business, including residential,
industrial, ---and farm wiring.
Mr. Kuehl first started into
the building business in 1969 at
Port Albert on the Lake Huron
shoreline north of Goderich
when he ., bought, the Green
-Acres subdivision:He-h►as~built—
A'aeix cottages on it' ice ttie ar '
sold many of .the lots:
In 1971, Huron Pines opened
up a new subdivision in north
Clinton and of the'24 original
lots, only 15 are left to build
on.
Last _ summer, Mr.,. Kuehl
retired from Ontario Hydro
where he was an electrical in-
spector for 24 years and
decided to use his knowledge of
the electrical and building con-
struction trades to his own ad-
` vantage.
As well as building houses
from plans already blueprinted,
Huron Pines will custom design
any home or building to meet
the -buyers specificat ions and he
. can also arrange financial
terms and mortgages to suit;
Huron Pines also has lots in
Hensall, Blyth and Bayfield
and Mr. .Kuehl said he con-
siders himself a Huron County
developer with interests
throughout the County.
Presently, the company is
working on plans to build- a
motel restaurant near Blyth
and Mr. Kuehl said that he
hopes to start an.18 unit, three
storey apartment building in
Clinton , in the fall. The new
building,-will'feature-six once
bedroom, apartments, 13 two.
bedroom units and will be com-
pletely electrically heated. Mr.
.Kuehl said that the apartment
building will have a contem-
porary design and will retain
much of the existing landscape
that includes mature trees and
open space.
- Mr. Kuehl also hopes to buy
the remaining 15 Tots in the
Wintercourt subdivision in
Clinton. He hopes to also, in
the near future, enter into' the
industrial building and farm
building field.,
Keeping a -growing company
on the move requires a lot of
work however, and Mr. Kuehl
admits to putting in 12 to 15
hours a day, six days a week.
As well as his new building
business, Mr. Kuehl owns 23
rental units throughout Clin-
ton. - Most are, in older
buildings:

Because of their _expansion
program, Huron Pines had to.
buy a building, to store their
supplies and to house an office.
They picked the old Canadian
Packers Creamery on King
Street in Clinton. Once run
down and dilapidated, Huron
Pines is restoring the building
and giving it a rustic finish.
In all, it makes for a busy
life, Mr. Kuehl says, but he's
willing to sit and falk with
anyone about their building
problems.
We -were. pleased to have been
chosen, as painting contractors for m
Huron Pines Realty's Model Home in
Clinton.
Mr. and Mrs. J:D. Allan and
children Kirslen and Erik of
Thousand Oaks California are
currently visiting in Goderich
with Mr. Allan's parents Mr.
.and Mrs. Dave Allan of 15 Pic -
ton Street. J.D. Allan who at-
tended school here.and worked
at the Bank of Commerce in
days gone by, is now holding

ficer for the Farmers' and Com-
.nercial Bank in. Oxnard,
