FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS

Following up the many improve
ments that the Welsh Garage has
been making from time to time, since
it's incorporation, the management has
Just installed one of the highest types
of reboring machine, made by the
Storm & O'Hare company. This ma
chine will greatly facilitate auto re-
pairing at their shop, as cylinders can
be rebored on very short notice. They
are in a position to show the public
the advantages of the work their new
machine can do, as they have on dis
play at the garage a sample of the
work turned out, and cordially invite
the public to call and see for them
selves.
They have also increased the space
in their office to double its original
size in order to accommodate their
ever increasing stock of accessories
and fittings, of which they now have
the largest stock in Southwest Louis
lana.
