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

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.
Mother (reading) : "To be real-
ly fashionable this winter clothes
must be worn to match the hair."
Phyylis: "That's all right for
you and me, mummy, but won't it
be rather chilly for poor old dad?"

The secretary put his head into
the office of the successful busi-
ness man. "A gentleman has just
called, sir," he announced. "He
wants you to tell him the secret
of your success in business."
"Just a minute," said the mag-
nate, cautiously. "Tell me—is he
a reporter or a detective?"

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.
