An Inexpensive Garage 



^ 



This attractive g-arage is one of the handsomest automobile houses located in 

 one of New York City's residential districts. Its pleasiiia" appearance, however, is 

 not the most interesting feature of this garage. The low cost c f the building com- 

 mends it to all, the garage costing only one-half the estimates of local builders. 



The owner of this handsome garage was not satisfied with the high prices of 

 contractors in his vicinity, so took the matter up with the Wyckoff Lumber &- Mfg 

 Lo , Ithaca, N. Y., who make portable buildings of all kinds, and found that he 

 could have a Cornell T^ortable Garage of any size or style shipped to him at once 

 and have it erected complete in a day for a figure way under the estimates of the 

 local contractors. 



This garage was shipped in .sections for easy handling, was put together simply 

 by bolting the sections together, an exceedingly quick operation. Everything 

 fitted and the lumber, hardware and painting gave excellent satisfaction.
