ness Changes

A. L. Davis is no longer the
Jefferson County agent for the
Ford car but now will handle the
Chevrolet and the Dodge. Mr..
Davis has built up fine business
for the Ford car in this section
and it would seem that he who
falls heir to such a business was
fortunate indeed. However, Mr..
Davis relinquishes the agency to
R. O. Graves with the best of
grace and will devote his ener-
gies to building up demand for
his other cars with even more
zeal. Some misunderstanding
relative to a carload consignment
shipped to Mr.. Davis resulted in
the final break between Mr.. Da-
Wis and the Ford Company and
Mr.. Graves decided to take the
agency and also the consignment
with the consent of Mr.. Davis
who gave Mr.. Graves his best
wishes. Mr.. Davis does not de-
cfy The merits of the Ford car,
but he thinks there is a great
future ahead of him with the
Dodge and Chevrolet both of
which are very classy cars and
have been reduced in price as to
make them very attractive to
prospective car owners.
In consequence of the change
Arvada will now have two gar
ages instead of one, which speaks
we'll for a town of this size.
R. o. Graves has enlarged his
machine shop to double the size
on the main floor and has a base
ment besides. The rear part
will be used for his machinery
and auto repair work and the
front for show room and regular
garage purposes. He will have
all of the accessories found in an
up to date garage, and furnish
free air and sell gasoline, and
carry full line of Ford supplies.
Chas. Graves and Martin Klum-
ker will be the regular mechan-
loo
