The entrance Of American tire

The figures reflect that the auto

shop is one of the neatest and most
attractive barber shops in the city.

white enamel fixtures thruout gives
the place very handsome and san

the shop are the bath rooms including
shower with all the latest appliances
something that will greatly be appre-
ciated by the public generally. Later
