OLD TIMERS OPEN
PHOENIX
GARAGE
The Phoenix jgarage. operated by
Roger Hunt and Fred Hart, has taken
the spacious garage location at 10S
North Second avenue. The new In
stitution is the result of a partner
ship formed between the two proprie
tors, who are old-timers in Fhoenix
and well-known to many hundreds Of
ca'r owners.
Roger Hunt started In the automo
bile business here in 1914 with the
Cadillac asency. He had direct
charge of all shop work, remaining in
this capacity until In 1917 he asso
ciated with Fred Hart and together
they opened a garage at First avenue
and Bennett lane. They conducted
this garage until it became too small
for them and a new building was
erected for them at Second avenue
and Van Buren street, in which they
operated for two years.
Mr. Hunt then went into business
for himself, opening a garage at 614
West Van Buren street, while Mr.
Hart became associated with the
Dunbar Spring Service company.
However, the old spirit of partner
ship worked its way into their souls
again and as a result, after nearly
three years, they are opening up the
Fhoenix garage.
All repsvtr work and adjustments,
together with service work on motor
cars, will be under the direct super
vision of both Mr. Hunt and Mr. Hart.
