MIR. MORRIS EXPECTS
THE LITTLE

The announcement last week in this
column that the Highland garage had
taken on the Little line of low priced
cars has created wide attention in this
district. Thomas E. Morris, Jr, sales
manager for the Highland company
said yesterday that two score inquiries
had been received while requests for
sub agencies had been received with
every mail. That the announcements
mean an unusual era of popularity for
the Little in this state is the opinion
held by Mr.. Morris as welA.as by 9th
ers interested in the general automo-
bile situation here.
MIR. Norris ordered two carloads of
the Little machines. 1t was announced
yesterday that telegraphic advices re-
ceived indicated that the shipments
Fave been made and that the consign-
raent will reach Birmingham within a
reasonable length of time from Flint
