The reason it is a valuable asset to the city is its ability to supply prac tically anything that pertains to auto mobiles.

Their specialty is auto parts land accessories of all kinds, including tires, oils, etc. Another feature of this concern is that they sell at very low prices, and do a wholesale and re- tail business.
