“From many years’ experience⟳ with automobiles, I have⟳ known the manner of signaling by horn to the garage keeper or elevator man the desire to enter⟳ the building. As many garages are located in residence districts, this is truly a very annoying custom and should be stopped. To overcome⟳ this nuisance a handy electric push⟳ button could be mounted on posts on either side of the runway, about five feet high, so that they could be easily reached as the car approaches the garage door. These posts could be placed near the curb, and two are recommended to serve⟳ cars with left or right side drive⟳.”

“Door guards are a detail that can be added readily to almost any garage door for the purpose of protecting the door from being broken off the hinges or for the protection that is afforded the customers of the garage.

“The "Overhead Door" is the garage door that can be opened or closed at a touch⟳ every day in the year—regardless of the weather. It is the garage door that opens UP Completely Out of the Way. In short, it is the modern door for the modern garage—in step with the times.”
