The year was 1966.

Reflecting a nation on the verge of developing as never before, the Canadian construction equipment industry was facing unprecedented growth opportunities.

E.E. (Ernie) Abel could see this, and what you read today is proof of his vision.

Ernie Abel founded Equipment Journal in 1966 and, four decades later, his idea continues to provide Canada's sellers, buyers, users and maker of equipment with the advertising and news they require to prosper in today's business world.

Be it in print, or on-line, Equipment Journal remains steadfastly where it has always been. Walk into the office of a contractor or a dealer, and where is Equipment Journal? It's on the buyer's desk, or on his computer screen, not just sitting idly in the company's lobby.

The consistency and dedication of the late Ernie Abel, who continued to set the path for his company well into his 80s, is true legacy. Scott Smith, Advertising Sales Manager, has partnered with the Canadian equipment industry's leading marketers for over 35 years, getting their messages out to those who buy Canada's construction products.

For over a quarter of a century A. John Baker, Publisher, has provided the leadership that has maintained Canada's National Equipment Newspaper as the equipment industry's true companion.

And now Ryan Baker, Ernie Abel's grandson, is today embracing the construction equipment industry, as have his father and grandfather before him.
