Open Automobile Livery
New Project by Hulett Bros
Up-to-Date Livery Establishment for Luverne Will be Installed this Month—Luverne Automobile Company’s Machines to be Used
Hulett Brothers are now completing arrangements to open an automobile livery in this city some time during the present month. They have purchased one of the Luverne Automobile company’s large machines to start with and if their business warrants it will add as many more of this make as necessary, using both runabouts and surreys. The machine they have purchased is one of the late models built by the Luverne company. It is of 16-horse power, with double cylinder engine and is a very powerful machine. The establishment of a livery of this kind fills a long felt apparent want. Since the Luverne Automobile company first began making machines they have received almost daily requests from traveling men and others for machines to be used in trips to other towns, as well as for pleasure trips, but as this was entirely out of their line they were unable to meet the demand. Messrs. Hulett are well qualified to conduct an establishment of this character, and as the Luverne machines have proved to be without an equal in medium priced autos, the success of their proposed enterprise is already well assured.
