This picture is of Brooks Campers Sales when it was first was founded.
This was over 43 Years ago. There is a very interesting story as to why
Blaine decided to sell campers.
You see, Blaine loves the outdoors. He also
loves to hunt. In Pennsylvania, it is normally cold in deer season.
Some 43 years ago, Blaine decided to go deer hunting at his favorite spot.
He and his friends took two flat bed trucks and were going to pitch there tents
on the back of these trucks. Well, everything was fine until it started to
get cold. They decided to heat their tents with on old time gasoline
heater. When the heater was lit, the thing shot flame to the roof of the
tent. Blaine knew that the tent was about to catch fire, so he threw the
heater outside. Now the woods was on fire. Suffice it to say they
fought the fire and saved the woods from sure disaster. Tired, cold, dirty, and
miserable they turned in for the night. The temperature dropped during
the night. In the morning the water was frozen, soot was every where, and
they were very cold. Blaine was not a happy camper. He promised
himself the next year he would have a camper to stay in. The only trouble
with that is there was no where to purchase a camper in the local area.
Blaine saw the need for his hometown.
Thus, Blaine Brooks started Brooks Camper Sales and
Service. His product line was not big, but people liked the friendly,
honest way he dealt with them. His business started to grow. This
picture shows what the business looked like 3 years after it was founded.
The business grew but Blaine stayed the same;
honest, friendly and down to earth.
This was the business three years ago. Below is what Brooks Camper Sales
is today.
