CARAGE BUILDING IS
BEING ENLARGED
The Nyssa garage and blacksmith
shop is being enlarged this week to
meet the demands of a growing busi­
ness, the proprietor, Ray Cook, finding
that more room is absolutely necessary.
The building ia owned by W. B. Hoxie,
who is superintending the work of con­
struction. A brick addition 24x44 is
being erected in the rear and a room
for office purposes will be sdded to the
front. Nyssa is growing right along
and Roy is bound to keep up with the
procession.
