Show The Studebaker Branch House. During a recent visit to Salt Lake, we called at the branch house of the famous Studebaker Wagon Company, and were politely conducted through the establishment by the gentleman in charge, Mr. Glass. The building comprises two stories and a capacious basement, the latter having a smooth, hard, concrete floor. In the basement the air is neither too dry nor too damp for the storing of wagons &c. and large numbers of vehicles are kept in it. The ground floor, even with the sidewalk, comprises one large apartment, 100 x 40 feet in size, one corner being partitioned off for business offices &c. In this apartment were exhibited 75 different kinds of vehicles, including carriages, buggies, express and light spring wagons, &c. &c., no two vehicles being alike. This will give some idea of the great variety kept on hand by this establishment. Any person who wants any kind of a wagon, carriage or buggy could not, it seems to us, fail to find here just what he wanted. The upper story is the unpacking room, and an elevator capable of conveying the largest vehicles, communicates between the basement and the two stories above it, a very convenient arrangement. The stock of farm wagons kept on hand numbers about 100, and about 250 vehicles of all kinds, including 159 different kinds and styles, are always kept on hand for buyers to select from. Extras, such as tongues, shafts, &c. are kept on hand, as is also a good stack of he famous Demarest harness. On the whole the stock kept by this house is the largest and most varied ever seen in Utah, and any of the vehicles included in it may be purchased of Zion's Board of Trade, Logan. |
