Perhaps one of the most interesting
happenings on the automobile row dur
ing the past week Is tho formation OF the
Randall Motors Corporation. which
takes over the wholesale and retail dis

Randall decided that the hest interests Of
the Grant company and Grant users
would be served by the establishment Of
a separate company interested wholly in
the Grant.
IL Is rumored that the contract for III

tr.ct covers well over 1000 cars for tho
coming twelve months. which Is a fair
roportion OF 10000 which the Grant
company expects 10 ship during the

At the time Of the threatened strike
Of the railroad trainmen-which was
averted by the passing OF the much dis
cussed Adamson bill by Congress at the

Wilson & Company decided that they
owed n duty to the trade and To the con-

Thomas T.. Wilson believes in pre-
~parcdness for his organization. and

pared. Fortunately the strike was called
off. SO that this enormous undertaking
was not necessary.
However. Mr.. Wilson decided on a test

York to determine accurately the scope

this purpose and left Chicago on octo-

The news OF the advance In the SELL
