South African Merchants Come to Ke-
nOsha to Purchase Automobiles
For the African Trade.
MEN ARE OLD STERLING DEALERS
Kenosha Products Always Sold Well in
South Africa and w. MI. Jenkins Comes
Here to Place an Order For Autos.

The automobile is following the BIZ
years Kenosha promises to secure a
large portion of the trade of the South
African dealer. Today w. M. jenkins
of Cape Town, and Fl. A. Miller, of
SanFrancisco, came to Kenosha to
open negotiations with the Rambler
Automobile works for the sale of the
machine in South Africa.
The two men are among the largest
dealers in vehicles in Cape Town ard
their sales amount to hundreds of
machines annually. The men visited
the Rambler works this morning and
have expressed their intention of in
Producing the machines into Africa.
It is probable that within few months
the Rambler company will have this
large foreign trade secure.
Kenosha manufacturing industries
have reputation in the South Afri-
can trade. Years ago when the bicy-
Gle craze was at it's height Mr.. jenkins
was one of the heaviest foreign dealers
in the Sterling bicycle and largely
through his advertising Kenosha be-
came known far and wide in Africa.
For a time it was said that the Ster1-
| ing wheel and Kenosha were better
known in South Africa than in some
parts of the United States. jenkins
| sold hundreds of wheels for the Ster1-
ing company and he is now planning
to take up the new Kenosha product.
It is strange coincidence that the
Rambler Automobiles and the Ster1-
ing wheels, which are to be the main
representatives of Kenosha on the
African soil, are both the products of
the same factory, the Rambler COM
pany having succeeded the Sterling
company in the famous bicycle making
esta Enlistment. The name of Rambler
is not unknown in Africa, as years
ago Mr.. Jenkins sold the Rambler
wheel.
| 1t is probable that Jenkins and
Miller will remain in Kenosha for sew
era1 days as the guests of the Rambler
Company. The company is doing a
great business and it is increasing
every day. The machine has won so
many victories over it's com petitors
that it is now regarded as the highest
class vehicle of its kind on the market.

to the institute prepared to work. Con-

sion is demanded as necessary. The
one who comes to the institute after
the work is we'll started either gains
nothing or wastes the time Of others

they have only part of the work and
that which is begun is not completed.
Instruction will be given in Ameri-
can literature, English composition,
library readings, geography, school
management, primary reading, man
ual and agriculture. The conductors
will not occupy the time with talks for
entertainment and amusement but will
assign definite work each day to be

work ia more than FIVE subjects. All
must take the work in library readings
and the manual.
