The East Side Garage, with its mechanical department located in East Smethport, and its show room at 319 West Main Street, Smethport, began business in 1923, and its remarkable development in business, both auto sales and repair work, has caused it to be regarded as one of the leading organization of its kind in the entire field.

The equipment of the garage is complete and modern in every respect, permitting all kinds of repair and mechanical work, including painting and electrical engineering which is executed in a master craftsmanship manner. Their work will bear the same critical inspection as a factory job. The mechanical department is under the personal direction of Mr. A. C. Peterson, whose many years of successful experience in all branches of auto work place him in the forefront of efficient mechanics. The place affords a complete collision service, which is second to none in the territory.

The splendid sales record of this organization in Chrysler and Plymouth automobiles and G. M. C. Trucks, indicates not only the unusual popularity of the line which they handle, but shows that their service on these cars is A-1, and that their "square deal" business policy has wrought confidence on the part of the public. The auto and truck sales department is under the personal supervision of Mr. Oscar M. Anderson, one of the community's rapidly advancing young business men. He has managed this department for the past five years, and under his direction the annual sales have shown gains each year. Until today the organization is placing more cars in the Chrysler and Plymouth class than any other agency in the field.

The East Side Garage is an official AAA station and is adequately prepared to extend every service to which members of the Association are entitled, including towing and wrecker service at any time.
