1947 Lusk High School Tiger Yearbook

Big day it was, with two new Chevrolet passenger cars and a Chevrolet truck in at the same time. (All were sold before dark.)

Not every day is such a banner day for WASSON CHEVROLET, INC., but every day is a busy day out back in the modern repair shop. Shirley Malmborg was only a spectator, but the working force  is made up of Mrs. Barney Birney, Richard Montgomery, Guy Brewer, Gordon Crinklaw, Clarence Hubbard, and the genial owners Guy Wasson and S.W. Boyd.

Wasson Chevrolet Starts Erecting New Building

Wasson Chevrolet, Inc., has let the contract for the construction of a new garage building on the corner just west  from the new Kilmer Creamery or northwest from the Foster Lumber Co. in Lusk.

The contract was let to Sorenson and Jackson and work was started this week. It is now hoped to have the building completed by October 1st.

The building is to be a structure 70 x 130 feet and of brick and tile construction. Its location will enable it to have windows on all sides, thus providing the best of lighting.

Front of the building will be on Second Street. The show room and office will be of modernistic design. The parts department will open off of the show room. The roof will be of round, steel construction.

The shop and service department will be equipped with the latest of tools, Grease rack, wash room and all other necessary facilities will be installed.

The building is to be located on the east side of a 100-foot width lot, thus allowing a 30-foot space for parking and to be used as a used car lot.

Wasson Chevrolet, Inc., is the continuance pf a firm that has served Niobrara County for a long period of years. Guy Wasson came to Lusk in 1945 to join S.W. "Dade" Boyd in the business and take over its management. The firm has maintained a steady growth and has only waited more suitable building conditions to erect a building that will meet its needs.

The firm is dealer in Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Cadillac automobiles.

New Building Wasson Chevrolet Completes Move

Wasson Chevrolet completed moving this week into its new building at the corner of Elm and Second Streets, just west of the new Kilmer Creamery.

The garage is the latest type of construction, including a protruding, rounded display room for new automobiles.

Separate office space, and a large parts department make  up the remainder of the front portion of the garage. The work shop and storage room are entered by two doors-one from the side street and one from the side street and one from the front.

The front entrance is recessed so that cars entering there will at no time extend into the street while waiting for the door to open. All doors are power operated.

A large amount of window space will be of great help to workmen, but fluorescent lighting is also used. Heating is done by overhead gas heaters.

A false ceiling is used to give the garage a finer appearance and to conserve heat. At the same time the space between this and the roof provide valuable space for accessories.

Guy Wasson, manager of the garage states that the garage is now ready to render full automotive service, but that the formal opening will not be held until after the first of the year.
