It cUrrently houses: business tax records and correspondin~ paper- work; customer files on service performed; extra repair equipment needed pericdiocallYi and, supplies for maintainence and repair. We buy paper prcducts in bulk lots to save costs. Having the stled locat.ed on the property allows quick and easy access to all of those items...whereas a public storage space would mean wasted travel tiwe almost daily. It is impossible to store everything inside the service station, there just i~n't any rooml Thank you for your consideration and understanding in this aatter.
