WATFORD AUTOMOBILE

To Whom It May Concern:

I discovered your website today while searching for pictures of the Petrolia oil discovery.  You have some great pictures there. 

I am currently making a documentary about my great uncle, D.A. Maxwell or David Alexander Maxwell, a Watford blacksmith, who invented one of the first cars in Canada in 1900. 

His car was the Maxmobile and I have attached a couple of photos to this email for you to see. 

Needless to say, oil and gas were integral to the invention and development of the automobile. 

Would you be able to give me permission to use a couple of the photos of oil wells found on your website in my documentary?  I sure would appreciate it.

P.S. I was born in Petrolia in 1949.  My aunt, Mary Douglas, a school teacher, recently passed away in Petrolia.   








                                                                                

                                   







 


 All of these pics and more are from my own collection because people like you let me copy them. I want more.
