A fire early yesterday caused about $100,000 damage to Willys-Overland Motors, a one-story business in North Toledo that sells Jeep and Mopar parts, city fire investigator Dale Pelz said.

The cause of the blaze at 1 Keeshin Place near Phillips Avenue remained under investigation last night. Mr. Pelz said the fire started at 1:11 a.m. in the owner's front corner office.

Jay O. Margolies, 51, of Sylvania Township owns the building and business, which employs four additional people, the investigator said.
