The Big Piney Garage was open about 1912 or 1913 owned by Mr.
Lawrence Bess and Gull Whitman, who later sold to Walter Yose, Sr..
Later Irwin Covey owned it, then George Barp. Opal Ray, in "Call
Back Yesterday," page 198, can remember only two cars when she came to
Big Piney in 1912: A.W. Smith's Pierce Arrow and Gull Whitman's Ford.
