concern having signed a contract with

manufacturers in the country, to rep

supplied with pleasure vehicles and

there is splendid opportunity and

OF vehicles. II is his intention TO have
nothing but motor trucks. delivery
wagons, sightseeing cars and other
types of commercial vehicles Mr..
Mariger. who Is manager of the sight
