Expects to Start Machine Shop Here in Few Months.
Frank L. Hamilton, son-in-law of W. L. Bott, who worked here for several months at the Central Garage, left Sunday for Wilkesburg, a suburb of Pittsburg, to take charge of an automobile machine shop. He expects to open up a modern machine shop here, specializing in automobile repairs. Mr. Bott and he tried to find a building in which to start at this time but nothing could be found and they decided to wait until a little later. Mr. Hamilton is a skilled mechanic and the rapid development of the motor business will result in the establishment of many more garages as time goes on and Rensselaer will probably have at least two new garages within the next twelve months; as Chas. W. Rhoades and son Kenneth, who have been doing auto repair work in connection with the if electrical work, expect to erect a garage and equip it with mdaem machinery.
