Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2006Fire in my home town(OT)
Turn up your speakers,my all time favorite song too. This happened in Sackville NB the other night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtbRaiau5mE That kind of fire can be a plumbers nightmare. We got to get water from point A to point B in quantity and pressure. BTDT, no fun. bs > Turn up your speakers,my all time favorite song too. > This happened in Sackville NB the other night. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtbRaiau5mE > Turn up your speakers,my all time favorite song too. > This happened in Sackville NB the other night. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtbRaiau5mE Ya had me somewhat concerned there, Robert! I'm sure glad it wasn't the old Fawcett-Enterprise Foundry works. I cooked for years on an old Enterprise gas stove!! As a side note, in the late seventies, Enterprise was the only stove/oven manufacturer in the world that made old-skool wood, modern style gas, electric, and microwaves all at once. Craig. Nothing left of the old factory now Craig. Did you turn up your speakers? Fire is being investigated as"suspious" >> Turn up your speakers,my all time favorite song too. >> This happened in Sackville NB the other night. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Craig. > Nothing left of the old factory now Craig. Where are they made, now? According to the www.enterprise-fawcett.com website, they're still in Sackville. I know the early-eighties recession got them the first time, and they only make 'high-end' old-skool now. Craig. There be some remenant of the old company started up again. The Fawcette factory is completely gone,bought out by Enterprise years ago.Some Mount Allison university buildings now occupy the sight. The enterprise plant was in recervership and ended up being bought by an old biker buddy of mine,Mike Wheaton. They went along building,or at least assembling stoves for a few years,but a strike seemed to end the operation. The last time I was there Mike was using the big warehouse for storing everything from cars,boats, to motorhomes. I went there and bought a 1952 BSA motorcycle from a lady and restored it,then re-sold it.The whole place was falling down. Don't know what their up to now. My first job interview ever was at the then booming Enterprise foundry moulding shop,one quick tour and I was off to tech school(G) >> Nothing left of the old factory now Craig. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Craig. > There be some remenant of the old company started up again.

I do remember when Enterprise started to manufacture microwave ovens in 1978. I seriously considered buying one when I had a "Buy Canadian" attitude in me back then. And this was considering that they didn't even get that high of a rating in Canadian Consumer, where the Amana Radarange and Toshiba got the highest. In 1981, when I finally decided I couldn't live without one, I had to settle on the Amana RR10A as Enterprise lost its Alberta distributor. I will have to admit that old Amana served me real well. It finally crapped out Labor Day 2003. I replaced it with a totally characterless $79 Samsung unit. Craig. My uncle gave me one of those early Enterprises mics,that thing weighed a ton! Worked good though. >> There be some remenant of the old company started up again.
