it as a teaching process as well,
Back in 1963 Harry worked with
the Ministry of Labour Manpower
and Training branch to set up an
apprenticeship program, the first
of its type in Ontario. Under the
program he teaches an apprentice
such things as job safety,
upholstering and frame repairs,
spring installation, padding and
stuffing, and upholstery covering.
Harry also teaches each
apprentice the wood refinishing

Twenty-four years ago Harry
Schaufler was an apprentice in
Germany learning the skills of
furniture restoring and
upholstering. Today he owns and
runs the Canadian Furntiure
Restorers plant, employing nine
people, at 168 Thames Road
West, Exeter.
It is a long way to come and the
road to success has taken hard
work.
In Europe Harry spent three
years studying interior and
exterior decorating, ° carpet
installation, colour co-ordination,
as well as refinishing woodwork.
Once his apprenticeship went
through, he spent another four
years as a volunteer worker
gaining a full knowledge of the
trade.
In 1959 he decided to come to
Canada. His first job here was in
the construction industry, but
before long he was back in the
furniture business with a job with
National Furniture Restorers in
London.
Harry decided by 1963 to start
an independent business in the
Exeter area which ran full time
from 1963 to 1965. But demand
wasn't strong enough so from
1965 to 1973 he only worked on
furn iture restoring and
refinishing on a part time basis.
Then about two years ago he
bought the building at 168
Thames Road West and started
up a full time business again.
It is obvious that Harry fakes
pride in his work and enjoys it.
"The contact with the
individual customer is what I like
about it," he says. "It gives a
person a lot of satisfaction to see
a job well done and a 100 percent
satisfied customer."
But he thinks of his upholstery
and refinishing trade as more
