A- small grocery and auto bervice
station is being built by W. C. Rooknrd
of this city on his place at 1500 North
Riverside, just off the city street on
the Pacific highway. Mr. Rookard has
found that the demand of people In
that section for groceries and the con
stant call for gasoline and service In
that part of town warrants his building
a small building which, he estimates,
will cost about $:i000.
The foundation for this new building
has already, been laid and the entire
building will be conTpleted in the near
future. This nejsr station will prove a
great convenience ,to people living
north of the city anil to motorists.
