An advertisement appeared in
the Niagara Falls Reporter’s April
24 edition that featured a photograph of President Barack Obama
on the telephone, with the caption
“Ace Moving Company ... I’d like
to reserve 12 trucks for January
2013.”
This ad does not refer to locally owned and operated Ace Movers of Niagara Falls
As soon as the ad appeared, a
reader wanted to know if the Ace
Moving Company mentioned in the
ad was the locally owned Ace
Movers at 2021 Main St. in Niagara
Falls.
That company, founded by the
late William Gratto, has been in
operation since 1934. His son, Mr.
Thomas Gratto is the current
owner. Mr. Gratto confirmed that,
as of press time, his company has
not been contacted by President
Obama to help him move out of
the White House, nor, in fact, has
anyone contacted him to help
move anyone located at 1600
Pennsylvania Ave., Washington
D.C.
Upon investigation, it was discovered there is an Ace Moving and
Storage in Washington, D.C.,
founded in 1990 by Oscar and Andy
Bhatt. They also, the Reporter confirmed, have not been contacted by
the president.
A call to President Obama at his
home phone number, 202-456-1111,
asking whether he had plans to hire
any particular moving company in
January was not returned.
With a record of 78 years of successfully moving people, should the president need an expert moving company this January, it would not be surprising, and he could not do better than if he were to choose Ace Movers of Niagara Falls.
