WILL BE ONE OF FINEST
 GARAGES IN THE STATE

The brick work was started Mon- day on the garage and sales and ser vice station which is being erected on West Main street next to Wat W. Whites store, by w. L. Britt of Boughton. The building will be 50 feet front and no feet deep. It will be occupied by Mark M. Smyth, local dealer in Dodge Brothers motor cars and Nash automobiles. MT. Smyth will have expert mechanics in charge, free air will be furnished and many other modern improvements will be installed for the convenience of the motorists.
 The building and interior decora- tions will cost $6,000, not including the equipment and when completed it will be a credit to town much larger than Prescott, and the fact that MT. Britt is erecting a structure of this kind proves his faith in the ability of this city to keep abreast of the times in the automobile line especially.
 Mr. Smyth, who will use the build ing, is one of the live wire automobile dealers who are placing this county on the map in the motor world of Ar kansas, having placed number of car loads of automobiles in the coun- ty since accepting the agency some months ago. Mr. Smyth says that more would use lodges if they could be procured from the factory.
