LIBERTY GARAGE BUSINESS GROWS Ai DOES GIy It Took Nerve for J. J. Thom- as, a Man of Seventy, to Risk His All In Business J. J, Thomas owner of the Liberty Garage came to Casper five years ago looking for an investment and busi- ness opportunity and it took nerve! for a man of his seventy years to put is all into a business, and borrow ‘money besides, for a business he did not know any more about than an in- fant knows of Einstein's theory.

The business grew from the start and continues to grow but not like many men—willing to let good enough alone and be satisfied, Mr. Thomas keeps looking ahead for additions and branches ta the business—new fields in which to expand and to supply the needs of the public. Casper is young and growing and there is plenty of room for new and better merchandise. Hence, Mr. Thomas has become the distributor for one of the oldest and 4p FeV. W. H. Driver, pastor of the M.

The demonstration of the Prestolite batteries at — the Rodeo grounds Aug. 1 to Aug. 5 should easily prove to the public they can get service and efficiency when it comes to the comparatively simple and every day task of caring for car batteries and furnishing gas for the headlights for heavy trucks. This service station. now located in the Liberty garage will move next door into the new pleasure car garage now under construction, most reliable batteries known to the autoist. ° But we are getting away from the theme of our story—business, nerve and daring... As a concrete example wetting the battery department or- ganized was asked to accept the task the prize fight which was to be held June 8th, This was a work which they knew nothing about as it was entirely foreign to the garage busi- ness, nor had they ever seen or heard the use of Prestolite batteries and gas tanks. But there was certain equip- ment that would furnish electricity, and electricity meant light. —Presto- lite gus is used for headlights on oe 4 large trucks and it wus found ‘thar ~ with a certain knd of attachment and a reflector these tanks could be| vowise ‘Seac'.s.¢ THROUGH HERE ght ref'ectors | 4 “= SAYS MOSHER SOLID TIRES The task wag acc Ushed and the pu P. “The radical changes that have been ‘oe Rh é f fa the Rodeg grounds might) made in the construction of sod | aueine the show con A | truck itires ‘have so. improved the | {urs the show commenc'ng August) tires that they absorb the jolts of the | /*% ©!!¥0n # much larger sea'e. | Michelin Man Insists It Just road and give better traction than|, “ Sarase aan aD. a ‘ghting) Could Not Be Anybody Else ever before,” says.
