The Fred E. Varney Co. built many camps and houses in 1950s Wolfeboro—my place, Hopewell Point Road, and the Springfield Point development near the Alton town line. As a yute, I was hired as a "go-fer" when the late Gordon Colby managed the business.

Consistently fine workmanship was done by them, but the finest carpentry work seems to have been done before power tools became popular!

Not "Mobile", but there was a Mobil station there in 1960.
