With a capitalization of $50, 600 and

The new automobile company has
purchased the Columbia garage, which
it will use for all its repair work and
for the storage of its stock machines.
The old Top Motor Car Company s
garage near the McCan residence on
the West Side will be used as a ware
house and receiving station. A station
will also be established at Connaway S
store at 0dell .and later it is planned
that they be established at all import
ant centers in the Valley.
The lS0 by lao foot lot, which lies
just beyond the local plant of the
Bridal Veil Lumber Co. has been pur-
chased from AL. Whitehead. The lot,
situated as it is on the tracks of the

location for a warehouse and the com

into commission by the auto company

is planned to be put into effect this
fall, will run to all important and most
thickly populated points in the Valley.
