Big Jim Leeson parks his Cessna Skyplane, zips up his jacket and goes to pay a house call.

With his Cessna he can hop down to Toronto in an hour for a lecture. Still, he admits, a rural practice might not be every doctor's cup of tea, I'm a farm boy myself...I'm used to it, he says.

A sprinkling of orders is coming in for group washstation designed by Percy Camp, left, and sold by his son Bryan and a partner. The Thornhill men say the product is competition for a U.S. firm which has cornered the market-making it hard to break in. They blame bureaucracy for slow sales.
