This employee of Connor engineering is testing for ground water seepage in the recently installed new underground tanks at the 7/11 Petro Canada pumps corner of Vought and Nicola in Merritt. The garage was owned once called Ingelby Motors an Esso station in an era that put a “Tiger in your Tank” was the only sponsor in the Saturday nite sensation “Hockey night in Canada that involved 6 National League Hockey teams, top pay about 30 thousand a year. All endorsements to charity through the players association.
