THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928 One of Oshawa's choicest residenti al districts located' in the north eastern section of the elty, all with in the city limits. It is also one of the most novel and distinct sections in view of the curvilineur layout, which is a new idea introduced in this eity, Sy 9A HILLS AND DALES SUBDIVISION Collaccutt Bus Line is Popular A dozen years ago the idea that the way between Oshawa and To- ofitoc would see motor coaches op- erating capable of carrying 33 pass- would have scarcely received hearing, Yet S. J, Collacutt, opeha ing the Belleville-Toronto line, with headquarters in Oshawa has fifteen coaches in uperation of which sévén carry 21 passengers apiece, six carry 2 passéngeérs and two 33 pass- engérs each, © transportation in history has made such rapid strides as the coach service, made possible by the coming of good highways. Four years ago the Collacutt service started with a Ford bus capable of carrying from a doz- én to 14 passengers and operating from Pickering to Toronto. As the highway extended the service also extended, and three years ago Mr, Collacutt moved his headquarters here. He now operates five services into Toronto from Oshawa, Cobourg, Belleville, Peterboro and Lindsay. All these lines operate on regular schedules and in the years of op- eration have seldom missed a trip and have been very seldom late, Coach operation now is carried on with the regularity of railway trans- portation, "I don't think that the coach ser- yee does any harm to the railways, héré are people who will take a coach running by their doors to ride into Toronto where, if they had to take out their car to ride to the rail- way station would drive their car through to Toronto. And many pre- fer a coach ride for pleasure where they wouldn't bother going if they had to go by train" is Mr, Colla- cutt's opinion of the often advanced claim that coach services are badly hurting the railways. Running a big coach service is not a shoe string operation. Two big Safe-way busses of the Collacutt line cost $18,000 apiece. They are the largest coaches in Ontario, 33 feet 5 inches long from bumper to bump- er. They carry 32 gallons of gaso- line, seat 33 passengers, have a nine- scat smoking compartment. Six G. M.C. coaches seat 29 and cost only slightly less while the total invest- ment in rolling stock runs to $130,- 000. For an investment of this nature a considerable business is necessary and this business has been built up. The Collacutt coaches operate to the advantage of Oshawa, They draw their schedule to allow people leave here early for Toronto but not early enough out of the big city to permit anyone to live in Toronto .and work here, Mr. Collacutt doesn't think that coach headquarters will to 8. J. COLLACUTT Proprietor Collacuutt's Bus Lines ever centre in Toronto, Faith in the future of coaches caused Mr, Collacutt to invest in the purchase of nine coaches within a few months after he first opened traffic between Oshawa and Toronto, His confidence has been justified when it is possible to see a hali doz- en of his coaches setting out from Oshawa to carry the passengers for one scheduled departure. The motor coach has undoubtedly come to stay, Tire Vulcanizing As a Specialty Tires, and more tires, are the spe- cialty of W. S. Williams, proprictor of Williams Service Station, at Bond and Prince Streets, Mr, Williams has at this corner a fine service sta- tion erected last year, and tire sales and vulcanizing are the important part of his business.. Coming to the Motor City cight years ago, from Toronto, Mr. \Wil- liams opened his first business here on Simcoe street north, About a year later he moved to the Saywell building, on Prince street, which he occupied for six years. Then, last summer, expansion induced him to consider the erection of a service sta- tion and larger wvuleanizing plant, which is steadily increasing in its volume of business since it was opened, During all of the eight years he has been in the city, Mr. Williams has specialized in tire vulcanizing, and new has one of the most up-to- date vulcanizing plants in the city. He also handles Gutta Percha tires, and in the service station department of the business sells.

"You know, I think that since Cabot sailed from Basistol to dis- cover Canada, somebody from Bris- tol should be included among the 50 young "Ambassadors of Empire', That is how this lad, Matthew A, Nicholson, age 17, of Bristol, Eng- land, son of a former pit workman, gained his place among the young travellers whose itinerary brought them to Canada this summer ahoard the 8.8.
