During Last Week.
Seven garage routing between $2,
000 and $100,000 each occupied by au
toniobile agencies In this city present
a strong testimonial to tin extent to
which the automobile business hiia
grown tills year. Theao garages are
alj of a class equal to thoae tn use In
any other cities In the country.
laat week no less than three new
garages were opened, the largest being
the garage of the White Motor Car com
pany, a three story reinforced concrete
structure costing 1100,000. The other
garages were the Bulck and the Auburn
The White garage la claimed by Its
owners to be the finest of lta kind west
of CWlcago. It is thoroughly modern
and has every little convenience Imagin
able. The building Is a three story
structure covering a quarter block.
Modern Designs la Architecture,

which the architects worked In design
ing the W'hlta garage. The ground floor
Is given up to the salesrooms, , off toes,
supply department and show room. The
show windows along the west side of
the building present a splendid oppor
tunity for displaying cars. The of
fices and the supply department are In
opposite corners of the lower floor.
In the basement space Is reserved
for the keep of over 76 automobiles.
Live storague rules prevail. The earn

and the carpenter shop are located.
Every part of an automobile from the
smallest bolt to the body or engine of
the car itself can be found on this floor
larger Quarters Weeded.
The Bulck garage completed yester
day and which will be fully occupied
by the Northwest Bulck company to
morrow is another highly up to date
establishment. It covers a full lot and
Is two stories In height. It Is built
of brick and will be used exclusively
by the Bulck company. So large has
the business of this company become
that It has far outgrown the small
quarters which have been occupied and
the completion of the new place on
Hixth and Couch streets Is greatly ap
preciated. The Auburn Motor Car company of
which Robert Simpson is manager, is
the third company to move into new
quarters this week. The garage has
been hurried to completion owing to the
cramped quartern in which the company
had been forced to do business and Is
' a great relief. The two story brick
building at 505-507 Burnside street.
which the company has been occupying
will be used also.
Other -brick garages In tfse In the
city are those of the Studebaker com
pany, H. L. Keats Auto company. Covey
, Motor Car company and-the Barnes Auto
; company. Mitchell agents. These build
. Ings are thoroughly modern In every
detail and most of them have been built
during the past two years. ,
