Later a number of REQ workmen

ploye, whose failing health demanded
that he get into outdoor work. pu'-
chased REQ bus to operate between
Alma, the home Of a motor truck
manufacturing company, and st.
Louis, Mich, about three miles away.
BUSINESS PROFITABLE
That his venture was profitable is
shown by the fact that within 30 days
he arranged to purchase second bus.
After developing quite line, Mr..
Robinson sold out at n nice profit.
And so instances might be cited in

proof that motor car manufacturers
were led into the bus business by in

collectively, may be called the fathers
Of the bus industry.

prices Of current models as compared
with the 1924 list prices. the Buick
Motor Company increased its volume
Of business during the past year By

keller OPENS
THIRD TIRE
BUSINESS
Store in Remodelled 'Y'
Building Modern in
Every Detail.

The General Auto Tire Company
has opened one of the most modern
aud complete tire and accessory stores
in the city at the corner of NORTH
Alamo and Third streets. The new
store is the third to be opened by the
company in San Antonio, states Ralph
Keller, owner. This store also Will
feature Racine Horseshoe tires.
The new store is in the North
Alamo building, formerly the old y.
NJ. L. A building, which has just been
remodeled. The new store has main
floor for tires, accessories and other
automotive equipment, with balcony,
which is used for offices.
ROAD SERVICE
By opening a store in the northeast
section of the business district, the
company will be able 10 give tire re-
pair road service better than ever be-
fore. This store will be able to take
care of the calls for the north and
east section of the city. while the
other stores. which are located in the
west and south ends OF the business
section, will be able TO serve those sec
tions Of San Antonio. At present, the
company has its No. 2 store at 1O22-
1926 South Flores Street and the
Tire Market, another of the chain, at
the corner Of West Commerce and
Pecos.
The concern has been doing bust
ness In San Antonio for the last six
and one-half years. During this time
it has become very popular for Its
quick and efficient service 10 motor
lists who have tire trouble.
HERE SIX YEARS
When Mr.. Keller opened his first
tire shop on South Flores Street sew
eral years ago, be was quick to reaI.ze
that customers wanted service coupled
with reasonable prices on merchan-
disc. He saw TO il that they received
both. At the time he opened his first
store. he was a pioneer in that section
of the city in the tire business. But
within a year. his customer list more
than doubled and he continued to add
to his patronage by giving real values
for the least possible cost and backing
up his sales with first class service.
1t has been this policy that built tho
tire business he controls today ana
which made possible the opening OF his
new and attractive store, one of the
best tire shops in the city in the heart
Of the retail district.
Mr.. Keller expects to continue 10
back his merchandise with prompt
and efficient service and TO maintain
his prices at the lowest mark con-
sixtent with the high quality Of his
products. He extends an invitation 10
bis old friends and new customers 20
visit the new store and inspect the
merchandise.
