Dutch Windmill Atop a TAGOLENE Garage.

A GARAGE owner in Minnesota hit upon a rather novel method of attracting the attention of the motoring public when he erected a model of an old Dutch windmill on top of his garage.

Its nine-foot blades generate all the electricity used in the garage and charge rundown batteries for customers. It also helps to remind motorists that their gasoline and oil supply may be running low.
