Larry Hutchings one of the best
knsT-n motor car salesiies. in the west,
died at San Francisco recently, after a
very brief attack of the flu.
Clutch y sold automobiles in many
towns in California, and invariably led
the lists when it came to checking up
customers. His forte was low priced
cars, and at the time of his death he
was prominently identified with the d.
W. DeVaux Motor company of Fresno,
Chevrolet distributor for that district.
With their governors set for a maxi
mum speed of nineteen miles an hour,
two Chevrolet oae-ton trucks, with so
per cent over capacity loads, averaged
better than fifteen miles an hour be-
tween the Chevrolet factory at Oakland
and the W. l. Elliott Motor company.
