He LIKES FORDS
Trefry Motor Company Was
Started in 1916.
Now Has Spacious Quarters on
Kansas Avenue.

When Willard Trefry was going to
high school in Houston, Texas. sew
eral years ago. he had to walk a mile
and a quarter. A good friend of his
who used to go to his office about the
Ford of particularly ancient vintage
and Trefry often got a ride. That
began his interest in Fords, which he
has maintained ever since.
He was in construction work later,
and in various other lines, until in
1914 he decided that the automobile
was very promising young industry
and decided TO go into it. He went to
Kansas City to try to get a position
with the Ford company, but had some
trouble for awhile. At last he pro-
cured work on the sales force of the
Kansas City Ford agency.
In 1915, he had an opportunity to
start an agency, either in Kansas City
or in Topeka and thinking there was
more to an agency in Topeka, he came
here.
The only available building was one
at 1914 Kansas avenue so he remod-
elled it and took his agency there. His
business grew so large that he had
to expand and liz 1921 he moved to
his present location
He really moved overnight. his idea
being not to discommode his custom
ers. 1t was remarka bic speed and it
was only made possible thru the CO.
operation and the loyalty of his en-
tire organization. His training as a
construction engineer, when he had to
keep train traffic moving over a rail-
road bridge at the same time it was
being built. was great aid to him.
