w Jack De Camp? As one of the
popular auto nlen he is liked
throughout by both his feliow-business
men and the customers Of the Randall
DOdd company.
Mr.. De Camp halls from the east, and
while in New York established a repu-
1ation as a salesman who gets the
business" While there he was con-
nected with one Of the largest auto
firms in the big city. Coming west he
was one OF the foremost in the busi-
ness while located In Denver.
The RandaIl-DOdd company were for
funate to secure his services and his
ability to build up trade is proven by
the great number or machines sold
throughout the city and state by the
company of which he is sales manager.
Jolly is too mild a word to use in de-
ecribing his chief characteristic. Breezy
would be much better, and woe be to the
prospective purchaser who falls into his
hands. He has reputation throughout
the city for selling more cars than any
other one salesman representing the sew
tral lines Of cars sold in the city.
At present Mr.. De Camp is sales man
ager of the Randall-Dodd company. a
firm that handles the Oldsmobile, the
Thomas Flyer and the Buick.
Running-boards are now almost in
variably of pressed steel. the stock be-

they are also properly shaped to neatly
