SAXON STARTS HARVEST CAMP PA|GN Dealers Adopt Novel Selling Programme, Including
 Special Stunts

| Turning the farmers harvest season
 into harvest season for the motor car
 dealer Is the novel idea which the Saxon l Motor Car corporation has started and
 which is now being carried out in all
 parts of the country by Saxon dealers with splendid results.
 Under the title of the Saxon Harvest Campaign, the parent organization has given its dealers the material with which to conduct a special sales campaign in
 the season which heretofore has been a quiet time for retail motor car sales Early reports from the dealers indicate that In previous years the motor car in dustry generally has ignored a big sell ing time by taking it for granted that August was quiet month in all kinds of business.
 Practically every Saxon distributor and dealer in the country is a partici- pant in the harvest campaign. There have been sales meetings in several sec tons of the country at which distribu- tors and dealers have arranged for spe- cial sales efforts in their territory. Spe- cial newspaper advertising to aid in the campaign is now being used and a large number of dealers have introduced other novelties to carry out the idea of a har- vest in automobile sales
 Window displays of various kinds are being used to carry out the spirit of the idea and surprising number of clever Ideas have been carried out by the Saxon dealers. The ripened grain and other farm products have been utilized in making some most attractive windows
 Other dealers have put on contests among their salesmen which are ex- citing big local interest in their ter ritories and which have resulted in a

GRANT MOTOR CAR CO. BUYS DENEEN MOTOR COMPANY Grant Co. Secures Light Line of Popular Priced
 Trucks

merger of considerable interest to the
 automobile industry has just taken place
 in the purchase of the Deneen Motor com

 ton. Both companies are located in
 Cleveland. The Grant company has been
 making plans to enter the light truck
 field this fall. and the plans were so
 far along that contracts had been let
 for the building of additional factory
 space to take care of the manufacture
 of trucks.
 With the purchase Of the Deneen Mo-
 tor Car company, the Grant Motor Car
 corporation obtains an established line of
 popular priced trucks containing six
 models three-quarten ton, IA ton, 2-ton

 As has been stated, the Grant com pany had already begun active prepara- tions to enter the truck field and had developed 8 line of its own. Pending the completion of the additional buildings now under way, the manufacture of Denmo trucks will be confined in the De- neen plant, but 1t is expected that within l 60 days the new Denno-Grant truck will 1 10 nv fna new plant.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS PLAYED
BALL in MIDSUMMER FORM
In Game With Albany Made Splendid
Show Against Team Coached by
Big Lacquer.

The real Dawson fighting spirit"
was exhibited Friday afternoon by
the local high school base ball team.
The game was with the Albany high
school team, which had already play
ed and won two games, while the To-
Gals had had only two days practice.
The first six innings were marked
by jam-up playing by both teams, not
a man reaching third base. But the
lack of practice caused several errors
and let in three runs for the visitors
in the seventh.
Here, when the game seemed lost,
the true grit of the locals was shown,
for never did another of the visitors
reach the middle station, while in the
eighth Dawson put two tallies across
through the heavy hitting of Hunter
Bell and Jack McNulty.
The game was featured by the
steady work of both batteries, King
and Sumter seemed 'old-timers" be-
hind the platter, while the work of
Baldwin and Lippitt showed them to
be twirlers of much promise.
