BODKER TO BUILD NEW DISPLAY ROOM

H. J. Gabriel Has Contract to Erect Brick Structure With Plate Glass Front

        Because of the increased sales of Overland and Willys-Knight cars and the 
necessity of a good size storage space, Albert J. Bodker will erect in the near 
future a brick building 30 X 70 feet in dimensions on the lot adjoining his 
residence on Fifth street.  The building will be one-story in height and will 
have a fine plate glass front suitable for a show room where his new cars will 
be on display in much the same manner as the windows of automobile dealers in 
the big cities.
        At the same time, Mr. Bodker plans to remodel his home, making several 
changes in both the interior and the exterior.
        With the erection of this building, Fifth street between Pine and Oak will 
take on the appearance of a commercial street as there will be three business 
houses there then.
