Agnew and Harrow, who will give personal attention to all hires, repairs, etc., entrusted to them. Mr. Harrow has had 15 years' experience in the motor repair trade, and has been connected with some of the principal garaged in Glasgow and London. His partner, Mr. Agnew, is a well-known and trusted local citizen, and with close attention to business they hope to be favoured with a share of public patronage.'[2]
