Fargo has been selected by the
Hulick Motor Sales company as it's
point Of distribution, and r. B.
Hulick Of Ada, head Of the, company,
has removed from Ada to Fargo to
make his headquarters.
The company has maintained a
branch office in Fargo for some time,
but because of the fact that the con-
Germ has just been successful in en-
larging its territory for Oldsmobiles,
now controlling all of the Red river
valley both In North Dakota and
Minnesota from Aberdeen to the
Canadian border, it was deemed ex-
pedient TO make Fargo the central
distributing office.
