mobile public had an opportunity to
see what sort of car the Cole really
is. The performance of the machine on
the steepest grades in and around Bir-

to the expectations of the most pes
ismistic and careful Investigator.

to meet Mr.. Pake and Mr.. Henderson.

sonality and magnetism. Sterling Ed

visited the Chandler agencies in these
cities and reports a good business in all
of them.
The Brownell Big Four of sales
men are certainly on the job. Ted

Jack Crenshaw compose the team of

chimes to fill the orders on hand. Just
how long it will be before this can be
done is not known The first 1915 Ford
sedan was sold yesterday.

the Detroit Motor company as sales
man. has signed up with the Saunders
Motor company for the coming season.
Tom is one of the best known automo-
bile men in the city. He has always been
enthusiastic over the Hudson Super Six

ord in selling this carr With "Red
Smith Tom Morris and Chester Alexan-
der composing the sales force Of Saun-
ders, it will be some job for any other
automobile concern to keep up with
this trio.
Red" has placed four Hudsons on the
streets in the last 10 days. That he is
a real sales manager and knows how to
get the name on the dotted line has been
known for years, and it is cinch that
he has not slowed up any recently.
