Daily Hampshire Gazette. 1958.

The staff of the Hampshire Engineering Service is shown with some of the sheet metal products the firm makes and sells.

Bob Lamothe (center), sales representative, holds one of the numerous products. Donald Affhauser (next right) is the, owner. Ben Kerr (right) formerly worked 31 years for the Holland Furnace Co. Leo Blizniak (left) and George Duensser(next to him) are also experienced in sheet metal work and installing and servicing heating and air conditioning units.

A year ago the Hampshire Engineering Service was started at 26 Sumner Ave., Florence, to meet an area need for trained installations of heating and air conditioning units.

Donald Affhauser who heads the new concern, has had years of experience with sheet metal work, installing and servicing heating and air conditioning units. After graduating from Smith's School sheet metal department, he worked for a plae manufacturer, went off for service in the Pacific with the Signal Corps, headed departments for local manufacturers and managed the entire production for the last firm which employed him.

The Hampshire Engineering Service men do surveys for dealers and home and building owners of existing proposed heating and air conditioning units and make recommendations as size and type will assure the maximum efficiency of the equipment. They also sell and install the Lennox gas and oil burners, air conditioners and hand-fired furnaces. The Engineering Service has the franchise for Hampshire county and gives the usual 10-year warrantee on Lennox equipment plus a one-year complete guarantee on the installation.

A good stock of various gauges of metal sheeting - aluminum, galvanized iron, copper and stainless steel - is kept on hand for fabricating. Metal gutters, down spouts, fittings, and calley flashing are available to contractors.

This is a good time to consult the Hampshire Engineering Service about fixing your heating and air conditioning unit - or make plans to have one installed. There is no charge for estimates.

The Hampshire Engineering Service phone number is Northampton 4080. Use it when your heating ad air conditioning units need servicing and right now get to get estimates on installing new units.
