Since the or ganization of this company, they have been in crowded quarters near the Telephone company, but the space was much too small for their large assort ment of cars. The new building is not quite fin ished, and the carpenters are busy putting the finishing touches here and there, painting and calcimining are going on, the furnace is being install ed, new repairs are being unpacked the shop is yet to be set up, and every where one finds all hands busy, for customers are also there to be waited upon. Pretty, practical and modern in ev ery detail is a description which can well be said of the new building. Krom the automobile entrance on Adnnw avenue, through the building and out through the entrance on Fourth street. one can well see that every thing is built and placed for convenience. At the front ontiatice, on one ride, is the lurjre Rasoline tank, while on the opposite side of the entrance is the oil tank. Air can be obtnined just in side the front entrance. The building is triangular in shape, thus assuring light on three sides. A large garage' assure plenty of space for cars. On the extreme corner, fac ing both Fourth and Adams, will be the show rooms. These are not quite finished at the present time. With pretty varnished woodwork and floors, and cream tinted walls, it bids fair to be one of the prettiest show rooms in La Grande. The office also occupies n little space off this show room, anil buck of this is a ladies' rest room, one of the latest comfort found in a garago. Adjoinig the ladies' est room Is a rectangular room probably HO by 40 feet. This is the same for all three stories, the basement, ground ffoor and room above. IK the basement is the tire room, rows upon rows of United States and Oldsfield tires, plac ed in nextt order on lnrge racJis. - On the ground floor, above the tire oom, the room is used for all of the Studebaker parts and the room above that houses the Chevrolet accessories. A full line of parts for both cars ir ortlcred and is being unpacked ns rapidly as possible. At the very bark of the building Is the large, well lighted shop. Part of this shop has a cement floor and pari The furnace is directly be nertth this shop and by means of toe wooden floor, it is expected that the shop will be made more comfortable during cold weather. With a showing of G. M. C Acson and Chevrolet trucks, and of the new Appcrson, Studebaker and Chevrolet cars, the Wallowa Milling and Grain Company, with its up-to-date, show room and garage, is going to be u garage which will equal Portland firms and which will set a standard in La Grande that will not be easily beaten. And, at the same time, members of the company can well be proud and easily practice their motto of "Ser vice with a Smile." know its performance before you buy a car.

'Ho sure to rule In the Haynes nnd Auburn Beauty-Six Well Adapted to Overland Travel The completion of the first link of tho motor highway connecting all of the great national parks of the north west is the initial step of tho recently planned good roads program. The new thoroughfare extends from Glacier park to Yellowstone. These new roads will encompass one of the most beautiful and picturesque regions in tho world. Motor tourists will find traveling conditions ideal J wncuior tney camp en routo or depend upon tno hotels aud inns. Th is nart oi me country has been toured to gicui extent already, but the now roads will offer an irresistible attrac tion. . The medium sized car with its light er weight and lower fuel consumption bids fair to be toe most popular for touring in tho western country as it has been heretofore in the more level regions. There are a large number of medium sized cars on the market at tho present time, and among the l'J-0 exhibits there are a number of motor cars of unusually smart de sign and mechanical excellence. One of the most desirable of the newer models Is tho Auburn Beauty Six. Tho car has been designed rad ically, though not freakishly, for the Auburn engineers have embodied the latest style creations and added a few cxclusivo touches 'of their own con ception. Tho mechanical superiority of tho new Auburn makes it especially adapt able for touring. The gruelling test which every car undergoes before be ing offcreil for service insures prac tically trouble freo operation. Tho fuel consumption is surprisingly low. The riding comfort has been secured by the use of exceptionally long semi elliptic springs manufuctlred from a selected alloy. DUniel Auto Company, dealers for Auburn Beauty-Six.
