Satteroget
for Forty Great Years
Jack Drysdale
After serving the residents of Hensall
and area for the past 40 years the time
has come for me to enjoy retirement.
Our business has really been about
making housework easier and more
convenient. The fact many customers
have bought from us time and time
again and the sons and daughters of
new generations of families have
chosen Drysdale's is an indication we
were doing it right.
My partner and nephew Jerry
Drysdale and his wife Helen are the
new owners which makes me really
proud because Drysdale Major
Appliances will continue as a family
business. They are open daily to serve
you.
Your support over the years has been
truly appreciated.
Sincerely. Jack Drysdale
