teachers college were at ss no 7 markham and at lloyd school for the past week in the january issue of the bp symbol is a writeup on the late mr louis stoutenburg which we felt would be of inter est to many of our readers we quote todays service station oper ator has a pretty soft job com pared to the dealer who ran a filling station forty years ago lack of gasoline pumps hoists and vehicle testing equipment was just one of the inconven iences oldtime dealers had to put up with this was the opinion of 86- yearold louis stoutenburg bp canadas oldest dealer and one of the oldest active service sta tion operators in the world re garded as a pioneer of the serv ice station business in canada louis will soon complete 60 years as a mechanic in victoria square a small community 20 miles north of toronto there were no gasoline pumps when i opened my first station more than thirty 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 oil company or distribu tor and were refilled at the sta tion by tank wagon gasoline cost about 14 cents a gallon then louis who looks twenty years younger than he actually is does not miss the old days owner of a bp outlet he feels that the dealer of today is able to handle much mole business with less effort in less time and i with greater sucotss than could his predecessors back in the twenties said louis a garage operator had i to be an expert in many fields he couldnt turn to a fellow dealer for advice there usually wasnt one around in fact in my case the nearest station to mine was 17 miles away and the closest car dealership was i 25 miles away louis liking for engines first became apparent when he was a youngster every free moment was spent tinkering with the i family threshing machine my 1 ambition louis recalls was to own a horseless carriage not to drive necessarily but to tin- i ker with at the turn of the century there were few cars in or ar ound victoria square skilled mechanics were even scarcer when word got around that there was a young man in the village who was handy at fixing cars motorists came to see him operating from a barn on his fathers 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 what had started as a hobby became a livelihood today louis is one of victoria squares best known and most loved citizens a widower he lives in a neat red brick cottage just a few yards from his sta- nsfey british car desigriod
