In the early days of the automobile, repair shops were called garages. Some of these garages were converted from livery stables and blacksmith shops. Some still tended horses. The author remembers such a garage in Kaysville, Utah where a blacksmith forge was operating on a daily basis and automobiles were being repaired right next to it. At a very early age, from 1948-51, he would visit the shop and watch in rapt fascination as the owner, Gene Tolman, placed iron in the forge until it glowed white hot, then shaped it with a hammer on a large anvil. The shop appeared much like the one in the photo. Note the drums of oil with dispensers next to the gasoline pump. |
