WANTED: info on Hantsport pool halls, barber shops, and gas stations

Pool halls (ie. billiard parlours ), gas stations, and barber shops were important in the history of the Shamrock baseball team history. They were male-only bastions - escapes from females.




And we certainly want to include them in our Shamrocks Day. Our committee has divided up the research and these are some of my topics.

I read through the old Hantsport School yearbooks and found the following ads:

1948 - C.A. Langille - barber shop, billiards, taxi service.
        -John Jacques - Hantsport Garage

1950 - Starratts' Garage

1955 - Walsh's Barber Shop
         - Charlie Chute's Esso

1958 - Walter Urban's Fina Service
         - Gerald Wilcox - Garage and Service Station

1978 - Whitey's Fina

1985 - Richard Bishop's Esso

But there most be more. Please help,
