The Best Our Aim!
Our idea is service first, and the best service at that Oar
garage was established in 1916, and since then we have main
tained service the best during the years, day in and day out,
whether a week day, holiday or Sunday. But one half day
did we close our place of business and have ever been ready
for extending service to the public. "We are continuing our
service. There are instances where it may not bring in the
dollar, but the customer must be satisfied, with work, material
ind courteous treatment.
We will always have the very best workmen and most
courteous attendants at your service.
