Since its small start slightly
more than.a; year ago, Copper
Moauniain Enterprises has grown
ta become a:major supplier at
not only qualily used motor
vehicles’ but Winnebago
products as; well. And, the
company’s current expansion
program will soon see Capper
. Mountain Enterprises add
another line: 10 it’s services.
Located; along. Thornhill’s
_access road to Highway 16 east,
Copper Mountain Enterprises

_ ds. the brain child. of Ernie

Fisher,.a local man with many
years experience in. the
automolive field and a deep
faith in the future of this area.
After working for some years
with a local automobile outlet,
Ernie decided to ge it alone last
year with a:lot specializing in
quality used cars - no major
lines, no new cars and ‘no
“ gssociation “or -affliation with
‘yhajor. car’ manufacturers,
‘Instead he ' took a good” Lock
around and:went-fi a cautious
buying spree, his aim to gather

a collection of used automobiles-

that were in sound mechanical
and physical. condition,

automobiles that he could offer .

at good prices.

With that premise in mind he
. built the business to where it
now stands . with a lot brim-
ming with cars ranging from
transportation and mechanics
specials to like new family cars.
Tt may sound like a cliche but
the statement that there is
something for everyone is not
far from the truth.

Since the start of Copper
Mounlain Enterprises business
has grown and expanded to the
point where Ernie has been able

to add a full time salesman,
Wayne Murdy. Wayne is not
stranger lo Terrace sports fans,
just as he is no stranger 1o the
world of antomobiles.

One drawback the company
has faced since it's inception
has; been the lack of a service
facility an the lot. Because of
this mechanical work on their
automobiles had to go
elsewhere and even with special
rates al local garages, the cost
of even routine servicing added
to the eventual cost of the car-
However that will change with
the completion of a large and

~ attractive building al the lot, a

service and garage area.
Repairs necessary to cars and
such matters as servicing will
be get done on site, thereby
passing on a saving in dollars te
the consumer as well as passing
om asavingintime. Don't
expect the car prices ta drop
dramatically, of course, bul
there will be noticeable
savings, a real henefil to the
prospective automobile pur-
chaser.

As well as the service area

- here will also be office space in

the building..

-- Ernie Fisher, owner |

manager and head salesman al
Copper Mountain Enterprises is
a firm believer in making
quality used automobiles
available -to consumers al
reasonable prices. Anyone who
has priced cars he offers will
tell you that and anyane who
has brought a car al the
Thornhill site will tell you Ernie
ig nol adverse to a little
haggling over final purchase
price. Even his hours of
business reflect his beliefs,
