GARAGES FOR MORRIS CARS.
Chock full of grit and enterprise, the inceptor and inaugurator of the Morris-Cowley and Morris Oxford cars that are now being turned out, at over a thousand cars a week, sits not idly by, but perseveres with his schemes for the bohoof of all motorlats. His last essay is the provision of a garage, suitable for accommoda- ting his care, when required by the purchasers, of them. These garages are of two kinds, that for the Cowleys being 14 ft, long by 8 ft. wide by 8 ft. 6 in. high, while alightly larger motor house for tho Oxford cars realises all the accommodation nocessary. The prices, carriage forward, are respectively, £.5 158. and £17, In appearance, these houses are distinctly pleasing in their] simplicity. A strong wooden) framework carries panels of firo- proof asbestos comont, while the roof is of Italian iron. Double swing doors are fitted at one end, and a window is located at the contre of one side, while adequate ventilation is also arranged. Another important point is, that the garage is constucted on the soational principle, and may be easily erected by two mon in about throo hours.
It is, therefore, now possible to puchase a 12 h.p. car with a suit- able motor house for £190 158., and the garage is also covered by the insurance policy which! accompanies every Morris car.
Another interasting announco- mont is, that an option of two! colours is now given for Morris- Cowley models, which may be obtained in a very pleasing and long wearing shade of blue, or in the grey colour hitherto stand- ardised for these cars. Surely Mr. Morris is quite philanthropi cally interested in the pro- spective motorists, so long may be wave ·
