Perkin soon realâ€" ized that Canada was a growing country and that as it progressed, Unionville would grow too. In this belief he bought a hardware store and, being an energetic and en- terprising man, he looked around for a sideline. At the time be con- sidered either farm implements and tractors, or fuel as a supple- ment to his hardware business. He chose fuel, put one pump in front of the store and bought himself a truck to deliver gasoline to farm- ers in the area. ‘ As Unionville grew, Mr. Perkin began negotiations for a tank car and truck.
