., NOVaMMMt U, 1W t saw el S-KKCOtP Cody Motor Silos Expands Now Covers Large Area Here Bu tines Started On Ramp la 1052, Now Cover. 300 Feet Br JIM STORY Sometimes If l most interesting to follow the suoceM of a (mall business as it grow and expands. Such is the esse of the start and expansion of Cody's Mortor Sales ban, Starting in business over 18 years ago, Kermit Cody, bis wife, Edith; and sons, Kermit, Jr., and Teddy, along with Gaston Norton,, who has been with Mr. Cody since he began in the used car business in the spring of 1962, has seen the business grow from a small lot where the post office is now located to the new lot on Main Street. Many persons can remember when the first lot, located next to Belle Store, was a ramp made of bridge timbers and only accom modated three or four oars. Business increased and he soon outgrew the ramp and in 1966 moved to the lower end of Main Street where he bought the old talc plant property from Judge Glenn's family and the Prisby lot at the intersection of US 25-70 and Redmon Road. This lot took care of 12-15 cars. Mr. Cody used the talc building as a garage. As business grew, so did Mr. Cody's acquisition of property. In 1961 he purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Robert Davis a strip further up the street, adjacent to Frisby's Gulf Station, thue in creasing his space for used cars to 25-30 vehicles, at the same time continuing to utilize the other lot. As demand increased, he decid ed to expand further and in Sep tember, 1965 he decided to acquire practically all the property at the lower end of Main Street between the street and the railroad. Mr. Cody purchased the cafe building and property below the building from Mr. and Mrs. Loy P. Roberts and started remodel ing the 30'x24' former cafe bald ing. The present mad ear lot stretches along 800 feet of Main Street and at night Illuminates that area with shining bulbs. From 40 to 60 ears can now be parked on the lot which is split evenly on both aides of the new office building. Ia addition to this development a block garage build ing on the lower property has been constructed. One could hardly imagine just how modern and adequate is the new office building. Beautiful mahogany paneling, fluorescent ligting, electric heat, air-conditioning, sliding windows, new desks and modern furniture make this office one of the most at tractive in Marshall. In addition to the two separate offices, the building also has a roomy lobby. In addition to these attractive rooms, there are also two rest rooms and two storage rooms in the building. Kermit is ably assisted by his wife who handles the bookkeeping as well as other chores; Kermit, Jr., and even Teddy, who works part time and is a junior at Mar shall High School. Then there are Gaston Norton, who has been with the company since 1956; and Tru man Wyatt, who was employed two months ago as a salesman. "Our customers are our most important asset. They have made this growth possible," Mr. Cody stated, and continued, "They could live without us but our busi ness could not survive without them. Therefore we try to give each customer as good a deal as we possibly can." "I invite everyone to visit us at our new location," Mr. Cody concluded.
