CANADA'S LONGEST MOBILEHOME IS CONSTRUCTED AT HENSALL PLANT The January issue of Canadian Mobile Horne contains a feature article by Greg Lund, of General Coach Ltd., Hensall, describing construction of a fifty-one foot trailer, specially designed for a customer in Regina. The unit, the largest mobile home in Canada, was built at the Hensall plant of General Coach: Early last fall Mr. and Mrs. Vern Davison, of Regina, took their vacaation and went to the States to purchase a new mobile - home. They wanted a replacement for their forty -foot model. After two weeks of looking, they return- ed to Regina to digest what they had found. After careful thought they de- cided the only mobilehome for them was one custom-built to the specifications they had in mind. They desired a large living room. Davison, a sales manager, needed a spacious room to entertain guests. Mrs. Davison. a high school teacher, needed a kitchen with all the latest conveniences. The bathroom would have to have house -type fixtures and stor- age space for towels and toilet articles. The bedroom was to be large with "queen -size” appoint- ments; the wardrobes to be large and deep with ample closet space. Davison, a large mano insisted on wide hallways. Square Deala Trailer sales was contacted and Dennis Porter, pres- ident, explained the problem to General Coach. General submit- ted a floor plan to the Davisons to check. They returned the plan, and General made the necessary alterations. Production began last October. General found that in order to ob- tain the necessary strength in the 51 -foot mobilehome it had to$be custom-built. Each piece was cut and hand -fitted; however, the same dado joints were used as in standard production models. Gen- eral Coach of Marlette, Michigan, placed their complete engineering force at the disposal of the Cana- dian plant and American suppliers were contacted to check all de- tails in question. A six-inch floor was placed on the heavy steel frame. Heating engineers approved General's standard method of insulation. It would take care of the 120 -degree temperature variation in Saskat- chewan. At 40 below zero, the 5lfoot mobilehome could have an MIDDLESEX SEED FAIR and FOOD SHOW (Including Eleven Western Ontario Counties) Western Fair Grounds London MARCH 1., 2, 3, 4 1955 Competition Classes Commercial Exhibits Educational Displays Speakers and Entertainment SECURE PRIZE LIST AND PROGRAMME FROM: Ontario Department of Agriculture, Room 210, Richmond Building, London niommamosommarnen inside temperature of 80 degrees above. Sub -floor and frame were en- gineered to withstand 100 per cent shock load. This was to assure that no splitting of panels would occur. Undercarriage was plac- ed to allow for sufficient hitch load to give roadability and yet get the wheelhousing in the pro- per location so that it would not interfere with the kitchen, bath- room fixtures and cupboards. The twenty -foot living room has cushioned wall-to-wall carpet- ing and is finished in birch with high gloss varnish. Large double picture -windows were used. Crown Electric engineered proper light- ing. The living room furniture is modern and set off by a four -res - tor across the front. No -Mar -Scar end table and coffee tables were supplied. Also featured in the liv- ing room, for the first time in Canada, is a fireplace with elec- tric burning logs. A mirror was placed over the mantle. The drapery is of modern design and floor -length. There are forty yards of lined drapery in the liv= ing room alone. When closed the entire walls are drapery -covered. A china cabinet is located at the back of the living room to separ- ate the kitchen. Below the china cabinet is a bookcase. The living room is also supplied with a 21 - inch RCA TV set. The "L" -shaped kitchen features knotty pine cupboards, hammer- ed copper hardware, Crane double sink with vegetable rinser and garbage disposal unit. .red formica top, with white tile back -ground, powerful exhaust fans, and deluxe gas range. The kitchen, nine feet long, is truly Mrs. Davison's dream come true. The ' dinette, located opposite the kitchen, is finished in plastic with a pedestal drop-leaf table of matching formica. A pull-down light hangs over the table. The dinette is divided from the living room by a planter and nick-nack shelf. The International furnace is located in a closet at the rear of the kitchen. The hallway is also carpeted and all wardrobes have lights and sliding doors. The bathroom has Crane fix- tures. It features a vanity -type wash bowl, full-size bath tub and shower, a medicine cabinet and cupboard for towels. The bedroom also has wall-to- wall carpeting with wardrobes and a vanity across the back, mirror over the vanity, an island -type bed with white headboard, and two btillet-type_ reading ln`inps. General Coach delivered the 51 - foot mobilehome to Regina and the driver stated that it had a high degree of roadability.• Several people stopped the driver and ask- ed to see the inside. It was towed in daylight hours only, across Michigan and the Straits of Wis- consin and across Minnesota into Saskatchewan. Mr. and Mrs. Davison take a great deal of pride in the largest mobile -home in Canada. Three times the money invested in a conventional house would not buy what they now have. They report that several hundred people have rung the door bell, and after view- ing, leave in complete amazement, never imagining that such a man- sion could be put on wheels.

STERLING HUDSON HARD COAL More heat per ton Seaforth Lumber Ltd. PHONE 47 Seaforth Ontario Consider the Cow If your advertisement were in this space as many people would read it as are reading this. But your advertise- ment isn't here, and people do not worry whether you are selling real estate, gasoline, peanuts or popcorn. Did you ever sit down in the pas- ture with a pail between your knees and wait for a cow to back up and be milked? Of course not. You know better than that. Well, business is somewhat like a cow. You've got to go out after it and round it up. The fellow with the milk pail between his knees may get some milk, but the odds are all in favor of the fellow who drives up the cow and feeds her. Some kind of advertising must be done if a business is to amount to any- thing. Either walking and talking or writing, or printing. But the least costly, most profitable and dignified way is by the regular newspaper, which goes into people's homes every- where. • THE HURON EXPOSITOR Established 1860 McLEAN BROS., Publishers Phone 41 — Seaforth ,. ,,:The annual ineeting of the`` Hula'. sail District Co -o er ave meltr- Pasted a held in,the Common 4ty Centre, Zurich, on Thur sday, when 243 sat down to a delicious. banquet catered by the 'Ladies' Aid of the Lutheran Church.
