Early Service Station In the January issue ol.‘ the “BP Symbol" is a write-up on the late Mr. Louis Stoutenburg. which we felt would be of interest to many of our readers. We quote ~â€" “Today’s service station oper- ator has a pretty soft job â€" com- pared to the dealer who ran a filling station 40 years ago. Lack of gasoline pumps, hoists and ve- hicle testing equipment was just one of the inconveniences old- time dealers had to put up with. This was the opinion of 86- year-old Louis Stoutenburg, BP Canada’s oldest dealer and one of the oldest active service station operators in the world. Regarded as a pioneer of the service station business in Canada, Louis will soon complete 60 years as a me- chanic in Victoria Square, a small community 20 miles north of To- ronto. “There were no gasoline pumps when I opened my first station more than 30 years ago. At that time gasoline came in five-gallon drums and was poured directly from the drum into the car. Drums were usually lent by the Mis‘s Mildred Brillinger com- menced nursing at Sick Child- ren’s Hospital on February 1. Student teachers from Toron- to Teachers’ College were at S. S. No. 7. Markham, and at Lloyd School for the past week. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Doust and Miss Dorothy Doust attended the funeral of their uncle, Mr. Wm. Joseph Leece, on Saturday ’in Richmond Hill.

Louis who looks 20 years younger than he actually is, does not miss the old days. Own- er of 3 BP outlet, he feels that the dealer of today 15 able to handle much more business with less effort, in less time and with greater success than could his predecessors. “Back in the twenties”, said Louis, “a garage operator had to be an expert in many fields. He couldn’t turn to a fellow dealer for advice. There usually wasn’t one around. In fact, in my case, the nearest station to mine was 17 miles away and the closest car dealersliip was 25 miles away." Louis‘ liking for engines first became apparent when he was a youngster. Every free moment was spent tinkering with the threshing machine. ‘My ambition,’ Louis recalls, “was to own a horseless carriage â€" not to drive necessarily â€" but to tinker with.” A number of people are attend- ing the Sunday School Teacher Training Course, which is being presented every Monday: night in February at the United Mission- ary Church at Dickson Hill.

At the turn of the century there were few cars in or around Victoria Square. Skilled Mech- anics were even scarcer. When word got around that there was a young man in the village who was handy at fixing cars. motor- ists came to see him. As our readers know, Mr. Stoutenburgh passed away before the above article was printed. We felt you might wish all the more to have this account for your scrap books. S. S. Teachers Train Mrs. Bruce and Genevieve had supper Saturday with Miss Ruth Hoover. Mr. Harry Kruse spent the week end in Toronto. Mljs. Alvin Farmer entertain- ed a number of ladies at a quilt- ing on Friday. What had started. as a hobby became a livelihood. The magazine article continues, “Today, Louis is one of Victoria Square’s best known and most loved citizens. A widower, he lives in a neat red brick cottage just a few yards from his station. He owns a 1958 automobile, but seldom drives because “of the growing number of highway acci- dents". Louis’ station is the gathering spot for many of the village’s sen- ior folk. Here, friends gather most evenings around an oil stove to talk about the old days. Popu- lar with the young set too, Louis often acts as barber to children of the village whose parents are poor. His “trims” are free. Asked whether he planned to retire from work soon, Louis scowled slightly and said: Mr. Jos. Jones is laid up with his back. Operating from a barn on his father’s farm, Louis soon had a large clientele. Gradually his re- pair business grew until, in 1933. he built a service station in the heart of Victoria Square. “Young man â€" as long as I’m needed and as long as God lets me enjoy good health, this stat- ion will be open from 7.30 am. to 10 pm. every day except Sun- day.” HEATED BOXCARS TOWN & COUNTRY FOOD MARKETERS ONT.
