Show ! SHARMAN STATION GIVES QUICK AND EFFICIENT SERVICE 1 " ' ' J Interior view of large service station of the Sharman Automobile company, showing employees. This station is designed for rapid washing, cleaning and oiling of cars and for minor repairs and adjustments. One of the most advantageous features fea-tures to Cadillac and Oakland owners at the large, new and thoroughly modern mod-ern quarters of the (Sharman Automobile Automo-bile company, 51 South State street, is the big service station at the rear or the main building fronting on Social Hall avenue. It has been found that far greater speed and efficiency can be obtained in service stations if the department for washing, oiling and cleaning cars, and for minor repairs and adjustments, is separated from the main repair shon. Accordingly, when the Sharman Automobile Auto-mobile company designed their new quarters, they arranged to have a large service station on the gTOund floor, easily accessible to motor car drivers who desire to have their cars washed or oiled or cleaned or to have them repaired re-paired in some minor particular without with-out delay. For the more complicated repair work, the entire third floor of the main building was 6et apart and equipped in tho most modern way. It would be almost impossible to swamp the Sharman Automobile company's com-pany's service station with work, as it is now arranged. The station is equipped to wash forty cars a day and to take care of practically any number of minor adjustments that might possibly pos-sibly come in. If an Oakland owner has some slight ignition trouble or car trouble or desires to have his ear oiled, washed or cleaned, he need only run it into the commodious service station of the Sharman company, leave it for the briefest length of time and be sure that it will be promptly taken caro of. J. 0. Haggard, a service mechanic of long experience, is superintendent of tho station. Visitors to the Sharman Automobile company's new quarters arc struck with the fact that there appears to be no confusion in the prosecution of their business. Each department is so perfectly per-fectly arranged that efficiency seems to be a matter of course. On the main floor of the main building axe the salesrooms, sales-rooms, now comfortably filled with all models of Cadillac and Oakland cars. On the second floor i the used car department, de-partment, where the used cars are displayed dis-played in such a fashion that the prospective pros-pective purchaser has a splendid opportunity oppor-tunity to inspect them thoroughly. On the top floor is the big repair shop, unique because of its wonderful lighting. The entire roof of the building build-ing is constructed of skylights, so that the top floor is adequately lighted early ear-ly in the mornings and 'until late in the afternoons. This abundant illumination illumi-nation is a characteristic, in fact, of the entire plant. The Sharman company took possession posses-sion of its new quarters just in time to meet the big spring rush for Cadillac and Oakland cars, which, as in previous pre-vious years, has been tremendous. Thanks to the big shipment of fifty-two fifty-two carloads of Oaklands and of regular regu-lar shipments of Cadillacs, the company is ableto make immediate delivery on all models of these popular cars. |
