For several years, starting in July, 1920 and and until the 1960's Popular Science
Magazine ran stories each month about Gus Wilson's 'The Model Garage'

I enjoyed these stories so much when I was a kid that I never forgot them.
Hope you enjoy them also.

Exciting News!!  Mike Hammerberg has a new website and has posted hundreds of "Gus Stories"

  Many of the Stories have been donated by Mike Hammerberg.

  Mr. Hammerberg started reading "Gus stories" in the 1950's. Mike taught highschool automotive mechanics and used the stories in his classroom.

  Even though he no longer teaches, he collects the Popular Science magazines that contain the Gus Stories.  Many thanks to Mr. Hammerberg for taking the time to  contribute.
