Summary[edit]

Description
English: Future mayor and public housing administrator William P. Yoerg sits in a car in from of his shop in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Yoerg's building, 158 Chestnut Street, still stands today, expanded with more garage space. This building would remain a garage throughout the 20th century after he had sold the business. Yoerg first built this business by marketing the phrase "Call Yoerg, 804" in the days when phone numbers were substantially shorter. Building upon this reputation he served as mayor and one of the founding administrators of the Holyoke Housing Authority in the late 1930s.
