Robertson, ST, was the first selling agent in America for DeDietrich and Panhard motor cars.
 George Robertson has acquired his large and varied experience of auto mobile construction and operation by coming directly in contact with al- most every make of car then on the market. At this time the Robertson garage was about the only place in New York where prominent automo- bilists, manufacturers and drivers con- gregated and where machines were stored, repaired and built
 Robertson was actively interested in the building, at that time, of the 120 H-P. car for H. S. Hardness, which was constructed for the purpose of breaking all existing records. His ex- perience with foreign cars proved to be of great value to MT. Hardness in this connection.
 | The first 60 HIP Mercedes brought to America was intrusted to him, he having full charge of the car. With this machine at Elkwood park, Long Branch, Robertson established new world records for all distances from 1 twenty-one to sixty-three miles, inclu- sive

 In September, 1905, he drove the Christie entry in the Vanderbilt elim- ination race.

With the Apperson he made enviable speed records for the course, but be- fore the day of the race he came to Brle1 through an unIOTlundte hCcluent which wrecked the car. Until this accident took place Robertson, and his Apperson. was the favorte among the American entries.
 In 1907 he drove the Simplex in the twenty -four hour contest at Morris park, and also drove the 120 HIP Hotchkiss Vanderbilt car mile in fifty-two seconds, thereby establishing a new worlds record for the mile.
 In tie 360mile race at Savannah ir March he will drive one of Edgar Ap- persons "Jackrabbt" entries, and pos. sibly the Apperson entry in the 1S0. mile race for runabouts as well.
