This Mlight Be
Good Idea For
Local Dealers

So difficult is it to get automo-
biIes at this time that many deal
ers are unable to exhibit in the
auto shows being held on the Paci-
fic coast. The Chevrolet dealer at
Stockton, California, found solu-
ton to the problem, however. He
went out among Chevrolet owners
and rented cars to place in the
Stockton show.
As a result he was the only deal
err who had his complete line on
display. In order to get the cars
for the show period he was re-
quired to furnish other cars to the
owners for use during the time and
he further had to pay all expenses
on the used cars supplied.

PETE, BUSH

The above is the name given to.
a milch COW, which P. NJ. Christen-
sen purchased a short time ago.
Pete got mighty tired Of holding
himself down to four quarts Of milk
each day so invested heavily
enough to insure him Of an average
of thirty gallons but the trouble
arose after the purchase Of who
was going to be the milkman, Pete
Edwin or Mrs. Christensen. They
all absolutely sat down on the job
so in order to observe the peace
terms, Henry Bush won the job.
