local Pyrofax gas sign found in woods

[CanadianBottles]

was looking thru some sold listings on ebay from Huntsville Ontario and came across an old printed map which featured a list of local businesses , the seller said its from the 1960's although unable to date it to an exact year so not sure when it was printed

but it features an add from Parrott's ltd but not for pyrofax

says

" Plumbing is our specialty , complete home and cottage service "

Parrott's Ltd , box 700 , phone 789-2316 , Huntsville Ontario


it has the same business name and phone # , still trying to determine the connection between pyrofax gas ( propane ) and plumbing although it seems they were involved in the local business scene back then so maybe sold / did multiple things

Oh that's a good find! Gives a general idea of when they were in operation then. I assume Pyrofax was just a product that they carried and it was one of those free advertising signs you could get from a brand with your business's name printed on it, the same way Coca Cola used to make all those signs for corner stores and restaurants. You don't see that much anymore but I think Trident Gum might still do it.
