They have been located at their current Thickson Rd. S. address for about nine years. They started their business not long after their marriage and have become total supporters of the Town of Whitby. Over the years they have given their support to such organizations as the Whitby Girls Athletic Association, Whitby Girls Baseball, a 10-pin bowling team and have donated a number of signs, banners and decals to promnote the Town of Whitby and other organizations. They have also given signs to: Durham Save A Heart, the Whitby Ar- ts, to the Chamber of Commerce, the Corridor Area Ratepayers Associa- tion, the Whitby Little Theatre and other groups.
