An Inexpensive 

 Portable Garage 



Built in Sections 



Quickly Erected 



THIS hansome automobile house, 12 ft. wide and 21 ft. 

 deep, was built in sections and shipped completely 

 finished. Upon arrival at destination it was quickly 

 erected simply by bolting the several sections together. 

 Made of the best materials by competent artisans under the 

 directions of a skilled architect. The garage is substantial and 

 pleasing to the eye. Everyone who have seen it declares it 

 to be the handsomest and most artistic garage in the city 

 where it has been erected. But what interests and surprises 

 everyone is its exceeding low cost, the building having been purchased at a price way under the estimates of local builders 

 for a similar garage. 



CORNELL PORTABLE GARAGES 



are built complete in sections convenient for shipping and handling. They are erected at our factory, so everything fits, and all 

 sections being numbered, the assembling of the garage is a very simple matter. Anyone with a helper can easily erect one 

 in a few" hours. We employ only skilled workmen and use the best of lumber, paints and hardware. Our large factory is 

 especially equipped for this kind of work and we turned out the best portable houses in America. Our garages are com- 

 plete even to the most minute detail; bronzed hinges, Sargent locks, patent foot bolts, chain bolts, etc., being used, and 

 the buildings are well painted both on the interior and exterior any colors desired. Cornell Portable Garages have heavy 

 joists and flooring and they will stand the strain and rack of the heaviest touring cars. While constructed in sections, so 

 they can be shipped, Cornell Garages are as strong and durable as though built by local carpenters. 



We pay the freight to your nearest railroad station. Our illustrated catalogue fully describes our various styles of 

 Garages, Cottages, Churches, Playhouses, Pavillions, Stores, etc. and is mailed upon request.
