BUICK AGENCY
TO HAVE FINE
NEW QUARTERS

Another angle to the prosperity
story of better times in FL Centre
was added by Rodney Herman, who
today discussed the moving of the
Buick automobile agency from its
old location Main street to its new
salesroom in the building formerly
occupied by the McCune furniture
store between Fifth and Sixth on
Main.
The owner of the building to
which the Buick stock is now be-
ing moved, is j. G. Scott Of Calexi-
co. Scott is expending in the
neighborhood of $4,000 in remodil-
ing the property so that it will be
IN shape for the accommodation OF
strictly up-to-date automobile
agency.
l. A. Thomas, contractor in charge
of the work, has been rushing the
changes with a force of over q
dozen men for the past two weeks.
c. f. Ferguson is doing the elec-
trical work, and Richmond Brothers
are installing the plumbing. While
the work on the building has mot
been entirely completed, the com
modious garage in the rear is suf-
ficiently IN order so that the agen-
ey is moving its location today.
S. o. Lingo, who for some years
has been the proprietor of his own
auto repair shop, viii be in charge
of the mechanical department, Her
mon stated, and with the modern
equipment which has been installed,
will be in position TO see that
efficient service is given in repair
work. A large pit in the concrete
floor. electrically lighted big enough
20 accommodate two or three cars
az the same time, will add to the
efficiency with which repairs can
be handled. A wash rack with spe.
cial lighting features will be another
one of the up-to-date features of
the shop.
An attractive show room with cream
colored walls, indirect lights and an
effective dull green and salmon tiled
floor effect will add to the com
pleteness of a room planned to give
every comfort and convenience to
patrons of the establishment. A
main office, private office and q
balcony for the stock parts of the
IA Buick models. which are distri-
buted throughout the valley under
Hermon's direction, are other fea-
lures of the building.
A commodious driveway from
Main street to the rear alley adds
to the convenience Of motorists who
desire to drive in for service.

Is Pickwick Corporation stock a good
investment? This can be determined only
by the facts. We present the following for
your considerations:
FIELD OF OPERATION
In1922 fifty thousand auto stages carried
over three billion passengers in the United
States. The stage business represents. an
invested capital of $100O00,0O0. 1t is an
established industry, but so far it has
barely scratched the surface. Figures for
1923 will show q tremendous increase.
This is indicated by the revenue Of Pick

The West Coast is undoubtedly the most
fertile field for development Of highway
transportation. Equable climate permit
ting year-around operation, and great
and growing system of paved highways,
make the motor stage in this section an
ideal transportation medium.
