Grigg, who has had a 50 perceht partnership since 1958, with his father, A. Glad­ stone Grigg, purchased the full business on July 1, this year. Gordon started working with his father in-1950; after spend­ ing two years as a junior in Clinton branch of the Royal Bank.of Canada, A. G. Grigg first got into the fuel business lin 1945 when he purchased the Clinton pairit of the J. B.' Mustard Coal Com­ pany, which also had an outlet at BrucOfield. At that time the Mustard business only handled coal and wood. The Grigg business at the present tiime still handles coal, but. over the years has added fuel oil, gasoline, diesel oiii, motor oil and1 fertilizer in bag, 'bulk and liquid form. The pre­ sent business maintains a free oil burner service with a full time serviceman—Jaclc Mcdin- chey—and a servicing p-uck. The present business has a fleet of seven trucks to handle its varied lines. Aii advertisement on page 11. of this issue announces the ap­ pointment df Gordon Grigg as Clinton and area representative of Artrow Petroleums Limited. This company is an associate of the all-Canadian Sterling Champion Fuel Oil Company- Gordon Will still handle “Champion” fuel oil; which will be delivered in the green trucks. Gasoline and diesel oil will be delivered lin the business' red trucks. The business also sells Valvoline 'and Veedol motor oils and greases. It could happen that two trucks — red and green would be required1 if a person ordered fuel oil and diesel oil at the same tithe. In the spring of 1964 the Grigg firm became warehouse distributors for Oahada Packers Shur-Gain fertilizers; then thfe past spring (1966) they install­ ed iidtiid fertilizer tanks and ac- iand. one,, from QudbecLWull’be headed iby C.
