>NEW GARAGE AT MONTEREY

./Mohterey, June 17-Among re-
cent additions here is the modern
garage, which has been established
bv W. F. Kyle, an old Staunton
man, who has made his home in
Monterey for several years. Like
the water and electric plants, which
Mr.. Kyle established, nothing has
been spared to make the garage
thoroughly up-to-date. 1t is in
fact one of the most complete for
anrof- railroad town in Virginia,
4 The garage is 32x7O feet, equipp-
ed with water and electric lights, a
good wash basin and pit, and a
Bowser gasoline and oil system.
The garage also combines every
other modern convenience to be
found in the best equipped estab-
lishmepts of the sort.
Mr.. Kyle is one of the pioneer
automobiles in this part of Vir-
ginia, his experience with machines
dating back to short time after
their introduction. He has had a
number of years experience in auto
repairing, which makes him well
fitted to conduct his heW business
Since the opening of the new gar
age he has enjoyed a run of parton
age, which augurs we'll for the fut'
ure success of the venture. Cor
