A. C. Peterson Purchases Ideal Garage, Main St.
McKean County Democrat October 2, 1930

A deal was concluded during the past week whereby A. C. Peterson, proprietor of the East Side Garage, purchased the Ideal Garage building on East Main street from Jos. Wirt.

The name of the business establishment has been changed to "Peterson's Garage." Mr. Peterson, who is one of the town's most enterprising garage men, will make numerous improvements and alterations to the desirable property.

For some time past the extensive business of the East Side Garage has warranted a position on the main thoroughfare of the town. Attractive showrooms and windows will be a feature of the new establishment. The mechanical department will continue to be housed in East Smethport.

Mr. Peterson has the agency for the popular Chrysler and Graham line of automobiles.

H. L. Harmon, well known local man, has accepted a position with the Peterson's Garage.
