LUSK MOTOR BUYS J. & D. GARAGE AND HOTEL BUSINESS
Ford agents take over business after several days’ dealing
Will move office into new quarters and will maintain repair shop in Third Street building
Two of Lusk’s garages, the J. & D. and the Lusk Motor company are now one. Negotiations which have been going on for the past few days came to an end this (Thursday) morning when the Lusk Motor company became the owner of the J.&D. garage and hotel.
The stock of the J. & D. garage is now being invoiced and it is thought that this will be completed before evening.
The parties concerned in this transaction are W. Delahoyde and Chris Joss of the J. & D., and T.A. Godfrey and Glen I. Willson of the Lusk Motor company.
Mr. Delahoyde has announced that he will continue to operate the filling station across the street from the garage.
According to Mr. Godfrey, the business of the Lusk Motor will be moving to the Main Street building. This will also be headquarters for Ford Supplies, and as a display and store room. The garage on Third street will be used as a repair shop and store room.
As it is known to all Ford owners of this vicinity, the Lusk Motor company is the authorized Ford Agency, and this firm will continue, as in the past, to serve their patrons with the same high grade of service and sell none but genuine Ford parts.

Lusk Motor Co. Starts New Bldg.
Lusk Motor Co., started construction on its new building the first of the week, and the new structure will be rushed to completion as soon as possible. Excavation started at the site just west of the Midwest Hardware building on Third Street.
The contract for the building was let to Sorensen & Jackson, who expect to complete it in about 90 days.
The Lusk Motor Co., owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Godfrey and Glen I. Willson, will continue to handle the dealership for Ford, Mercury and Lincoln cars. Now located in the Ranger building, they are making this move to a building of their own so as to give space needed for a larger and better display room and shops.
The building is to be 70 by 120 feet and will be of brick and tile construction. The front of the building, which faces Third Street will have a show room, office and parts department of modernistic design.
Plans call for a large canopy which will run around the west corner. A runway will be built on the west side to allow for parking. Large doors opening to the mechanical department will also be on the west side.
