P.
A. Poitevin
 A.
POITEVIN lays undisputed claim to a unique distinction. He is the
only local automobile tire vulcanizer. The reasons for Mr. Poitevin
being the only tire vulcanizer in Cornwall and vicinity are that
he is particularly well qualified in this line because of an extensive
knowledge gained through service in the Goodyear Factory in Toronto,
natural adaptability, superior workmanship, and a constant all-the-year-round
business to which he devotes his personal attention. Besides his
large and lucrative local trade, Mr. Poitevin specializes on out-of-town
work and country trade, and automobile owners within a radius of
many miles bring and send their tires to him for repair. Mr. Poitevin
has one of the best-equipped shops in Canada and is prepared to
do all kinds of tire work. Speaking of tire work, Mr. Poitevin gave
garage owners in Cornwall an excellent excuse for doing away with
their own vulcanizing plants and handing their work over to him.
Although only twenty-four years old, Mr. Poitevin, through up-to-the-minute
methods employed in vulcanizing, retreading and rebuilding of tires,
2-1, relining, splicing tubes, etc., etc., established a business
which continues to grow and thrive. As an indication of this, Mr.
Poitevin has contracted for the installation of a tire puncture-proofing
machine at a cost of $2,000. This is the first machine of this kind
ever shipped into Canada. All work is guaranteed at this establishment.
Mr. Poitevin's place of business is located on Pitt Street, opposite the McLaughlin garage. His motto is "Superior Service." |
