New Home For Ford Cars Is
Largest And Finest On
The Peninsula.
TOURING CAR TO BE
GIVEN AWAY TODAY

AS was noted in our last issue this
was the opening week for the hand
scme new garage of Mr.. J. Milton
Clogg at the foot of Market street
in this city. The opening began on
Saturday last and has continued thru
the week and will close at o'clock
this afternoon when the new Ford
Touring car will be given away to
the one drawing the lucky number.
AS we stated in our recent article
the Clogg Garage is surely the finest
to be found on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland, and is a credit, both to the
cwner and the town. The fact that
EMr, Clogg was building the garage
was known to most people all over
the lower peninsula and the motor
iety of the enterprise caused several
thousand persons to make their way
to Pocomoke during the past week
to look it over. The crowd began to
pour in on Saturday last and it con-
tinued each day through the entire
week. Every visitor was registered
and all were given chance on the
new Ford Touring car which is to be
given away at A o'clock this after
noon.
The new structure is so perfect in
al of its appointments that it is al
most impossible to describe it, there
fore we shall not attempt to give it's
details in full. The fact is that one
would have to see it in person in or
der to fully appreciate it. The
building is located in the square at the
foot of Market street, bounded by
Market street, Front street, Willow
street and the property of theB. c. &
\. Railway Company, all of which
square belongs to Mr.. Clogg. The
garage proper, which is built of brick
with handsome trimmings, covers the
entire square with the exception of
that portion on which the Ford House
is located. 1t is an L shape building
ard it's dimensions are 107x130 feet
having storage capacity of 100
cars. The work shop is SO Sc feet,
lighted on all sides with large steel
windows, which make the walls about
u, per cent glass, thus giving plenty
OF light to the workmen.
The front on Market street is eX-
ceedingly attractive. 1t too is built
@, Colonial brick and plate glass-the
greater part of it being glass. Heavy
columns add much to the finishing
touches and gives it an appearance
that cannot fail to please. The show
room and offices, which are also in
the Market street section. are the
finest finished rooms of their kind to
be found in the South. The floors are
of beautiful natural wood and the
ceilings, painting and other trim
ningsare attractive in appearance. In
this portion of the building is mez-
anime floor with elevator and iron

The large stock room is fitted up with
special Ford bins which will take care
Of $4,000 worth of Ford parts. These
parts will always be in stock thus In
suring quick service for all Ford own
crs and dealers. The building is light
cd by electricity and the best OF cleo
trjc fixtures have been installed. A
modern heating plant is about to be
Installed and the plumbing is in
Leeping with the other work on the
building.
One can readily see from the read
ing of the above description that we
did not exaggerate matters at all
when we stated it would be the finest
building of its kind on the peninsula.
Just what the cost of the building was
VIC have not been able to ascertain.
hut public estimate places its cost
somewhere between $4,000 and $1OO-
600.
We commend our friend Clogg upon
his spirit of enterprise and hope that
success will continue to go with him.
With these increased facilities he is
in much better shape to take care OF
his constantly increasing trade. He is
ttuly worthy of everything that mas
