Max Kepner to Manage Garage in Kurrie Building.

Max Kepner, for four years connected with the Rensselaer Garage, has purchased a half interest with Pij3«ah Thompson and Wood Spitler in the former Willis Garage in the Kurrie building, Messrs. Spitler and Thompson each haying a quarter interest. Mr. Kepner has taken charge and a number of cars are already stored in the garage. The new proprietors purchased of Mr. Harris, father-in-law of Willis, the Bowser gasoline system, but nothing else, and Mr. Harris has shipped everything else to Springfield, Ohio. The proprietors will go to Chicago and make some purchases at this time, principally compressors and supplies, but they do not expect to employ a machinist before spring, at which time they contemplate the installation of modern machinery. An office will he built in the front and plans made for an extensive business, which they will no doubt enjoy. They have decided to call the business the Central Garage, which is very appropriate from the standpoint of its location.
