You must be near Walton, ON. They sold a lot of DBs. A bit of history---Canada had many ties with GB over the years, being a Commonwealth country. As a result, GB felt Canada should buy more from them, hence the presence of Dbs, Envoys, Vauxhaul cars,Avro aircraft etc. over here. These products were of acceptable quality, but for the most part, could not quite match domestic products. Later on, in the 70's, there was a push in Canada to purchase the English models of the Ford 3000 4000 5000 series, again, they were a bit cheaper, mainly because of trade pacts between commonwealth countries.

Even later, in the 80's, Russia tried to start a trade deal between Canada and Russia--we sold them a lot of wheat,( some of which was never paid for) by exporting Belarus farm tractors. I recall a backlash that originated in Western Canada when this concept was floated by. Thank God THAT never happened...

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
