Some Of The Nicest Cars In Town Live In Western Garages

This is a slogan my father came up with over 60 years ago for his MN Garage Building business Western Construction.  Its as true today as it was then.

In fact, Western Construction was started in a Detached Garage in Minneapolis, MN. So I started to think, what other great American Companies started in a garage?

It didn't take long to learn that the Garage, has long been at the forefront of great American Companies.

Apple Computer Started In A Garage

Steve Jobs moved his fathers car restoration equipment out of their families garage and put in a large wooden work bench. That work bench served as Apple's first manufacturing base. That is the garage where Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs built the original Apple Computer.

I think the new slogan for Western Construction, Inc. should be,
