GLIDDEN BROTHERS
The
leading garage and repair shop in Mount Shasta, Siskiyou County, is that of
Glidden Brothers, who have built up a fine business as the result of their
excellent work, their honorable dealing and their accommodating methods. The three brothers are A. E., H. S. and J. C.
Glidden. Incidentally, the town of Mount
Shasta was formerly known as Sisson, having been named after Mr. Sisson, who
really established the town. Owing to
the fact that the town was located at the foot of Mount Shasta, by the combined
efforts of “Curley” Brown, the well known race-horse man, and others, the name
of the town was finally changed to its present name, Mount Shasta, which is
more appropriate.
Glidden
brothers established their present shop in 1912, and have since conducted the
repair shop and garage. They have a
large property, in front part of which is leased to the Chevrolet Sales
Agency. The shop in the rear, occupied
by the Glidden boys, is well equipped for all kinds of quick repair work, and
they also sell oil and gas. They are
numbered among the live wire business men of Mount Shasta, and are exceedingly
popular in the community. They are
splendid men personally, genuinely interested in the welfare of the community,
giving their support to the things which relate to the prosperity of their
fellowmen, and are recognized as among the best and most dependable men of the
district.
