Wheeling's biggest and most-up-date garage will be thrown open to the public this morning. The Twelfth Street garage, located opposite the Virginia theatre, will be open for business and already arrangements have been made to handle a large number of cars. The new garage, which cost approximately $200,000 is a handsome five-story building, absolutely fireproof. There are accommodations for 250 automobiles, 50 to each floor. All cars kept in the building will be taken from either floor by winding runways, there being no elevator, except for the passengers.

An elaborate program for the customers has been arranged there being daily inspection service free, while several attendants will be about the place all the time to change tires and do similar work. No repair work will be done, however. On the first floor, there will be a branch of the Spears & Riddle company, where supplies will be kept.
