[edit]

The following text was added to the end of the article. I will format it to fit the rest of the article. I will be removing the sentence Gaultois is the home of the last standing Newman and Company building in Newfoundland as there are two Newman & Company Buildings still standing in St. John's.

Piere et Miqelin. -After resettlement in 1964 Gaultos population was approximately 550. with the fish plant and its draggers as the main employer of the town. - Gaultois is the home of the last standing Newman and Company building in Newfoundland.
