<p>In 1926, the <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/historic-victoria-businesses-begg-motor-company-865-yates-street-victoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Begg Motor Company</a> retained Victoria architect <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/ralph-berrill-architect" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ralph Berrill</a> to design and build a new showroom at <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/865-yates-street-victoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">865 Yates Street</a> in downtown Victoria. That building is still standing at <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/865-yates-street-victoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">865 Yates Street</a> / <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/1250-quadra-street-vcitoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1250 Quadra Street</a>. The <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/historic-victoria-businesses-begg-motor-company-865-yates-street-victoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Begg Motor Company</a> still occupied <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/865-yates-street-victoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">865 Yates Street</a> when this advertisement was published in 1940.</p>
<p>This advertisement also states that the <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/historic-victoria-businesses-begg-motor-company-865-yates-street-victoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Begg Motor Company</a> also had a dealership location on Government Street in Duncan. At that time Government Street in Duncan was part of the main north-south Island Highway, so it made good business sense to locate car dealerships and garages along Government Street.</p>
<p>We will do some research to see which building the <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/historic-victoria-businesses-begg-motor-company-865-yates-street-victoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Begg Motor Company</a> occupied in Duncan. But here is a Google Street View image of the former <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/historic-victoria-businesses-begg-motor-company-865-yates-street-victoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Begg Motor Company</a> location at <a href="http://www.victoriaonlinesightseeing.com/865-yates-street-victoria-british-columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">865 Yates Street</a> in downtown Victoria.</p>
