Morris Grabowsky, vice-president

turned from the Boston auto show and
declares Il one Of the most successful
Of the series of exhibits held during
the last two months. Mr.. Grabowsky
was accompanied by p. II. Breed,
chief engineer. Perhaps the most
striking feature about the Boston
show was that there was enough space
for exhibiting the touring cars and
motor trucks" said Mr. Grabowsky.

there than at any other exhibit, the
pavilion did not appear crowded"
Oficials Of the Pere Marquette en-
phatically deny that there Is any prob
ability Of that road being absorbed by
the Canadian Pacific or any other
system just at present. II is merely
revival of an old rumor they say. II
is hard TO see what the Canadian Pa
cific would gain by the acquisition of
thet Pere Marquette. The Canadian
Pacific has adequate facilities in the
territory which the Pere Marquette
serves. IL is more likely that the Ca
madam Northern would be looking for
an opportunity TO get the road to pro-
vide an outlet into Detroit and Chi
cago through lower Ontario. The Ca
madam Northern has large ambitions
and il now building tracks TO make IL
transcontinental system as well as
line from Toronto to Buffalo. With
the Pere Marquette IL would be able
10 compete with the Grand Trunk and
the Canadian Pacific In this territory.
No negotiations with the Canadian
Northern are In progress. nor with
any other road. II Is declared.
