C. C. CARPET CO. LIMITED "WEMPVILLE" Recently General Motors were hosts to dealers from all over Ontario at a preview showing of the 1969 Chevrolet and Oldsmobile models at O‘Keefe Centre in Toronto. FIRST IMPRESSIONS After having watched and assessed the minimal changes in other major automobiles shown earlier this month, most dealers anticipated much of the same in the new Chevrolets and Oldsmobiles. It has turned out to be exactly the opposite. While the compact Corvair, Chevy Nova, Chevelle and Cutlass models have received refinements to last year‘s bold and exciting new lines, the full size models have received complete new bodies. The fastback styling of previous years has given way to a more forma‘tl :ndr-;t'r;iaif’ line gt;]ii which results in a much cleaner look. _ .

CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES TO ROSS WEMP MOTORS Supertest Petroleum Corporation, Limited ROSS WEMP MOTORS Wempville (Staff) â€"It will soon be a full year since work began on the new Wempville. But months before the bulldozers arrived on the scene, Ross Wemp was mentally conceiving his new home. He knew that Wempyville had outgrown the old location and that in order to serve his customers properly there was only one answer â€" larger premises. So Ross spent months studying other dealerships. Recording the good features of their buildings, discarding the bad ones. Of course before Ross Wemp‘s image of his modern new dealership could ever begin to go down on paper he had to choose a site. One major consideration in selecting a location was the choice of a spot that could be easily reached by the many friends and customers who already dealt with Wempville. Then, like most good businessmen, Ross wanted a site situated in a growth area. An area with good services, plenty of land to begin with and room for expansion in later years. Finally, he knew that the new location had to be quick to get to on major roadways, so that people wouldn‘t be inconvenienced by traffic snarlâ€"ups. The big five acre site at 360 Rexdale Boulevard suited the new home of Wempville perfectly, and plans and designs of the new buildings were started. "Last January" said Ross, "I was a novice in the building business. Now I feel as if I‘ve taken a crash course in construction techniques. But without the patience and perâ€" severance of the many fine conâ€" sultants, contractors and suppliers who created the new Wempyville the results couldn‘t have been so beautiâ€" ful and practical." Ross Wemp Motors official openâ€" ing celebration begins tonight. It is the climax of months of preparation in making this one of the brightest, friendliest dealerships in metro. Everything is new. Even the exciting stock of new 1969 Chevroâ€" lets and Oldsmobiles that are disâ€" played in the new Wempville showrooms. The only thing that hasn‘t changed is Ross Wemp‘s dedication to customer satisfaction which _ is Wempville CONGRATULATIONS WEMPVILLE‘S READY NOW We‘ve learned, as you have, that good service and reasonable prices are impossible to beat TURNING THE SOD SITE SELECTION The Big Buildâ€"up Is Over C Nt Toronto‘s Seminar Hete! _ INN REXDALE BLVD. JUST WEST OF HWY. 27 THE always ubiquitous â€" at PHONE 677â€"3101 Wempville (special)â€"Tonight‘s a big night! § It‘s the unveiling of the new Chevrolets and Oldsmobiles for "sixtyâ€" nine". And tonight is another big occasion for car shoppers. When interviewed Mr. Wemp was asked if he had planned any gimmicks or giveaways to attract people to the opening of his new location. . Y In reply he statedâ€""It has always been my contention that my company can best serve our customers without adding to the cost of buying a car in order to pay for gimmicks or giveâ€" aways." "Instead," he continued, "we prefer to eliminate unnecessary expenses such as these to make sure that every car on our lot and in our showrooms, including the new "sixtyâ€"nines" are available at down to earth prices." â€" Ross Wemp‘s philosophy of fair value without frills has paid off. It‘s reflected in the loyalty and repeat buying of Wempville customers and in the rapid growth of his company since its beginâ€" ning in 1961. The business has reached a new plaâ€" teau with the completion and opening of the beautiful new Ross Wemp Motors at 360 Rexdale Boulevard. No Gimmicks Official Opening, New Car Showing Ross Wemp turns the first earth to begin work on the new Wempyville.
