HIGHNlT
GARAGE EXPANDS
Has Established Supply Store,
Battery and Ignition Ser
vice on Twelfth
Street

r. D. Page and Roy Van Horn,
owners Of the Jefferson Highway ga
rage, in this city, have enlarged their
business by taking over the Twelfth
street garage building just east Of the
Porter Clark building. In this new
place the firm will have the opportun-
ity to expand and keep pace with their
growing business. The new place will
hereafter be the Jefferson Highway
garage headquarters for all parts and
supplies for automobiles. A $4,000
stock Of such goods will be carried
and It will be a very unusual thing in
deed needed for any car that cannot
be obtained there.
The new place will be known as the
Twelfth street branch Of the Jefferson
Highway garage. The parts and sup
ply department will be in charge OF
Lawrence Van Horn.
A bettery department will be in
charge Of Homer Robitaille. He will
give skillful service to this work alone
and will have all necessary supplies.
The repair department will be in
charge of Ora Hale and he will be as
sisted by Jack Fox, a fine mechanic
who for the past three years has been
in the employment Of the government
attending to ignition troubles on all
cars.
The garage will also be stocked
with springs for all makes Of cars and
VIM. Call, q competent blacksmith,
will have charge of-fepairing springs
Of all kinds. A department for acety-
lene welding will also be maintained
rs heretofore.
"Dod" Gerber will continue. to take
care of the cleaning and washing Of
cars.
An important addition Of the busi-
nesses Of this progressive firm is the
wholesale and retail distribution OF
the well known Mobiloils. A car load
has Just been stocked. This includes
the A. E. B. and Arctic grades Of mo-
tor oil and the C and &C grades OF
transmission oils.
The Jefferson Highway company
will also specialize on Ford parts, car
Tying a full stock at the Twelfth
street place.
The well known Racine Horseshoe
castings are sold here and carried in
all sizes.
It is q fact worthy Of note and an
important item in the business OF
springs, that the Jefferson Highway
garage and supply house is one Of the
largest concerns Of its kind in the
southwest, next surpassed in Joplin OF
any other city. The business has been
built up by good service and altogeth-
er it is o credit as we'll as valuable
adjunct to the city.
