first
took
root
around
the
scene
of
a
cornbination
blacksmith
and
machine'
shoo
located
on
First
Ave.
East
close
to
the
present
site
of
Thorn's
Sheet
Metal
Works.
J..A.
Lindsay
first
became
interested
in
the
automobile
business
back
in
1918
through
assisting
to
finance
the
purchasing
of
cars
and
trucks
for
the
owners
of
the
blacksmith
and
machine
shop.
Eventually
he
took
over
the
agencies
and
equipment.
In
1929
Mr.
Lindsay
moved
Rupert
Motors
into
o
new
modern
structure
at
the
junction
of
First,
Second,
Third
and
Park
Avenues,
jointy
occupied
by
Lindsay
Cartage
and
Storage
Ltd.
Rupert
Motors
have
followed
through
with
distribution
of
Chrysler
Corporation
Products
during
the
various
stages
of
that
corporation's
development
holding
the-dual-
franchise
Dodge
DeSoto
and
Dodge
Trucks,
also
Chrysler
Plymouth
ond
Fargo
Trucks.
Rupert
Motors
Ltd.
never
deviated
from
the
line
of
cars
and
trucks
that
had
proven
themselves
superior
in
this,
one
of
the
most
rugged
districts
on
auto-uotive
eauiDuent.
Rupert
Motof-s
Ltd.
weathered
the
depression
of
rhe
thirties
and
has
progressed
continually.
The
war
years
1940
to
1945
put
terrific
pressure
on
the
staff
because
of
priorities
and
shortages
of
essential
vehicles,
repair
parts,
materials
to
say
nothing
of
the
lack
of
qualified
mechanical
help.
For
4
years
the
personnel
of
Rupert
Motes
burnt
the
midnight
oil
behind
blackout
screens
in
an
endeavor
to
"keep
the
wheels
turning."
Spare
time
help
was
recruited
from
the
Navy,
Army
and
Air
Force
and
from
the
shipyard
mechanics
some
excellent
workmen,
some
'
not
so
rood,
but
this
extra
help
kept
things
going
on
an
average
of
twelve
hours
a
day
and
bridged
the
crisis.
About
1945
with
seams
stretched
to
the
breaking
point
the
firm
launched
on
an
expansion
program.
Rupert
Motor's
modern
new
structure
was
erected
in
the
centre
of
the
city
at
the
corner
of
2nd
Ave.
and
1st
Street
in
the
same
block
as
the
Civic
Centre.
This
building
was
originally
intended
to
house
the
Doge
DeSoto
Division,
and
did
so
for
about
18
months
while
the
Chrysler
Plymouth
Division
operated
from
the
original
building
at
Park
Avenue.
Later
in
1949
in
keeping
with
Chrysler
policy,
advice
was
received
that
the
dual
franchise
could
no
longer
-be
field,
and
the
natural
choice
was
Chrysler-Plymouth
Fargo.
Customers
were
thus
given
the
best
coverage
to
choose
from.
In
the
interests
of
efficiency
and
economy
the
entire
staff
and
equipment
was
moved
to
the
present
scene
of
operations.
