Irwin-Overland Plan Expands Quincy Business Reach
Leaton Irwin describes major improvements at 300-10 Maine, adding two offices for Irwin and Lusk. A large reception room near the sales area will serve as ladies' rest space, with clerical and service departments opposite the drive. The roof over northern garage sections rises, adding a story for accessories. A wholesale tire operation will use a 50 by 125 foot concrete basement under 304-306 Maine. The two-story 217-321 Maine building will be vacated by Dayton’s business November 1 to become a car store, as existing facilities between Third and Fourth streets prove inadequate. The firm notes rapid growth and began with a 500-car contract.
