GO. IN NEW
HOME


After several years in their location
at the southwest corner of Van Ness
and Golden Gate avenues, the Frank
Q. Renstrom company. coast distribu-
ters of Regal underslung and Kline
Kars, are removing to q new home,
not far distant. however. from the
old location. Renstrom believes that
the intersection OF the two streets,
at which he has been located for so
long. is the real heart of gas row,
or automobile row. as the automobile
men dub it. and In making the move
he still remains at. Van Ness and
Golden Gate.
The new location lis the building
until recently occupied by the Pacific
Kissel Car company tstandard Motor
company. at the southeast corner Of
the two streets named. The sales
room, right on the corner, is admit
tedly one OF the finest in the city.
It's large plate glass windows reach
to the sidewalk and give an unob-
structed view to the interior. The
Renstrom people believe that more
prospective buyers congregate on this
particular corner than at any other
one spot in the automobile market
place, and, quite naturally, they were
reluctant to leave the neighborhood.
SERVICE STATION
The Renstrom shops. used car de-
partment and part of their service
station, have been placed in the
building at the northwest corner OF
Van Ness and Golden Gate. while their
salesroom and Offices have been In the
building at the southeast corner OF
the same two streets, which caused
considerable travel back and forth,
and in their new location all OF their
departments will be housed under one
roof The advantage of this is mani
fest.
It is the claim of the Renstrom
concern that they carry everythins
for the automobile, and that they can
repair any make OF car from a Brush
to a Pierce-Arrow. Their stock OF
Regal parts is large enough to build
six complete cars, while in the smaller
parts more generally in demand, tney
carry an imense stock. There is not
such a thing as waiting weeks for
parts for a Regal or Kline Kar. De-
mands for these parts can be supplied
forthwith.
1t will be the intention to increase
the size OF the supply and accessory
which will occupy sales
room in the new location entirely sep
arate from the large salesroom In
tended for motor cars exclusively.
Tires of all kinds and gas and oil as
the leaders will be handled on an ex-
tensive scale.
BEST MATERIAL
"One thing we will not do" Rem
tsrom says, .1s to sell a cheap concoc-
ton of distillate and call 1t gasoline.
Nothing but pure gasoline will be
sold from our tanks. We have no
intention of cutting the price on high
grade gas 1t can't be done success
fully. and when it Is done 1t compels
the dealer to dilute his gas with dis
tillate, and every motor car owner
knows what that means. More trouble
starting his motor than you can imag-
ine No cheap gas for US. Nothing
but the real stuff.
I'VE have noticed a healthy increase
in business in the last few weeks.
Things are beginning to pick up. and
we anticipate a good winter and a
big spring business. Since we an
nounced cur new models we have been
surprised at the number OF inquiries
for our line of cars. There never was
a time when the underslung was more
popular than right now. We are re-
ceiving orders every day from our out
of town dealers. and In every part OF
the state business Is Frightening up.
Our Model 'T light touring car -
our most popular seller. It comes In
either right or left hand drive. with
or without Rushmore starter. We
fvaa frav1 rnQ
coupes, light touring cars and heavy
touring cars, medium priced cars and
high priced cars in the Klines. In
short. we are equipped for big busi-
ness, and, believe me, we are going
after It right
