representative came to the shop and told Jack that he needed to buy lawnmowers as well IF he was going to be and Ariens dealer.  Jack had no intention of being a lawnmower dealer, but he reluctantly bought some Ariens soon after.  Low and behold, the snowmobiles were selling & the snowblowers and mowers were selling.  Jack needed more room and rented the building next door as the tire customers started complaining about the noise from the snowmobiles and other equipment while their tires were being changed.
  Like a lot of "mom and pop" shops, Jack's wife Elizabeth has been the secretary and bookkeeper since day 1.  Jack's son John (me) joined the business in 1975.  Since then we have taken on the John Deere consumer products line along with Grasshopper lawn equipment, the full line of Bombardier products (ATV, snowmobile & watercraft) and the Segway Human Transports.  In the meantime we have built two additions.  A vacant lot west of the current site for buildings has also been purchased for possible expansion in the future.
  Stop in soon.  Both Jack and myself would love to serve you!
