ELECTRICAL GARAGE READY FOR BUSINESS

K. T. Rhoades & Co. Erect Good Building snd Will Handle Electrical Supplies Solely. A concrete block garage 36x40 feet in dimensions, with a stock room and workshop in one comer, roorb for the storage of eight oars and equipped with everything needed in a first-class electrical plant has been completed by K. T. Rhoades & Co., on Cornelia St., just west of the Hamitlon & Kellner office and in the rear of the residence property, of C. W. Rhoades, who is the junior member of the firm of K. T. Rhoades & Co. The garage will not be a general auto repair shop but will confine its attention to electrical appliances, such as starters, magnetos, generators, storage batteries, etc. It will be the station for the Willard storage batteries which are used in 95 per cent of all cars manufactured. This company has been engaged in the electrical business for several years and the business has grown from a very small one to one of the important businesses of this city and with the development of the motor business the firm has naturally drifted to some'extent into that class of work, although they are giving especial attention to wiring and supplying electric light fixtures. It is their intention not to let any electrical concern in the country hSLve it on them and to carry a large line and to meet every requirement of the business as time progresses.
