]. {. Snead in Lawsuit With
the F. B. Stearns' COM
pany
By x. K. FHomn1edieu

The shifting Of the cards in tn,
automobile game on the row is going
morruy onward. The latest change
took place when it was announced
that the local home OF the Stearns
ear had shifted from the Reliance
automobile company TO. the Greenland
{ ~compady unannounced showed to the
H. Shead. This was somewhat Of q
surprise. as it was supposed that all
= arrangements with the Reliance COM
pany had been settled. The appear
~snce Of Charles B. Shanks. general
sales manager Of the 7. B. Stearns
company. unannounced showed to the
initiated that there was something
stirring at the agency. Shanks, in
speaking of the change. said yesterday
that he was sorry that the present re-
Iatlons with the Reliance company
were severed. but the Stearns is a
licensed car, while the Herreshoff, also
handled by the Reliance people. is un-
licensed. which condition could not
continue TO exist. The result was that
as the Reliance people wished to con
tinue TO handle The Herreshoff, we
had to cancel our contract with them.
and have placed the agency. therefore,
with f. C. Miner
Manager Richardson of the Reliance
company. in speaking of the change,
said:
1t was a matter Of business with
Us. The Stearns people brought about
the issue. and we decided TO keep the
popular priced car. as we feel that for
the present and for some time TO come
there VIII be more money made in
handling popular priced vehicles than
in the selling of the high priced cars.
We. however, viii not be without a
car 10 take the place of the Stearns.
as we viii handle the Houpt which
IS spoken Of very highly in the east"
Another angle TO the change also
took place yesterday. DR.. J. c. Snead
who was an official in a company
which handled the Stearns car before
II went 70 the Reliance company, at
:. tscled TWO of the Stearns cars said to
belong TO the b. +. Stearns company
This was done 10 satisfy a judgment
obtained p hours previous as the re-
suit Of a legal action taken TO recover
on what Snead claims 10 be a breach
OF contract as last October he claims
that he was given exclusive right in
Ni--S PaAt oA AHe statS 10 hanOie the
cars and is now seeking to recover
the commission on sales that have been
made
Shanks in defense Of the F. B.
Stearns company, states that the suit
was brought on what he says they
claim 10 be verbal contract made
with MIN, and of which he has no re-
membrance whatsoever of being con-
summated, and feels that Snead has no
grounds for action and thar the com-
psny win defend Its case to the limit
The rendering Of the judgment Shanks
takes merely as a technicality
FROM the present outlook there is
likely TO be some very interesting de-
Nelopments. This action. however. in
no way viii affect the sale of Stearns
cars nor the present agency. Il is
