This is a closed Car Dealership in Conquest Saskatchewan Canada . I love the shape of building as it curved around corner . Now just a landmark and some of the Auto's that are listed on front of building are no longer produced . Shows a change in the Auto Industry as we knew it .

My Grandmothers sister moved to Canada and that branch of my cousins I still have close contact with . The Family settled in Conquest Saskatchewan Canada in 1909 and then Ardath and Outlook . These Photo's were taken by Walksoft when he went with his wife to visit my cousin . He was kind enough to take photo's for me as I have never been there but they come to USA every year .
In 2011 Conquest had a population of 176 living in 85 dwellings, a 5% increase from 2006. The village had a land area of 167.6 km2 (64.7 sq mi)

Ardath is now really a deserted town with 16 residents my cousin being one of them.

    It would be neat to find an old picture of this dealership, with some old cars out front!

    I tried to find one Bro when you google name it appears they reopened someplace else ? Maybe a Canada PC can find old photo :-) I can imagine the car lot full and salesmen walking around and lots of activity .

    How could a town go from 176 to 16 in 2 years ?? Shame really, that dealership would make a magnificent home !~

    Hi Phil I must have made that confusing . This was in Conquest it has population of 176 . Ardath nearby where my last relative lives has population of 16 and he and has wife are 2 of them . He lives in the Post Office that is right inside his front door which closed years ago . His mother my Cousin ran PO for town for many years . All deceased now .

    I looked for a picture but didn't find anything.
    You should ask your cousin there may be something in local archives or the community history book.
