Jack Hand, owner of Jack's Auto Clinic, reported to the E. W. this week that he has sold all equipment and parts to the Pomeroy Grange Supply and that he will in the future work for the Grange.
Jack's Auto Clinc first started in a building at Sixth and Main, which used to house Bottorff's Pontiac, and when the forest service moved out of the Koller bulding Jack's Auto Clinic moved in.
