A mistake was made last week III
the statement that two cars belonging
to Geo. w. Bartell were damaged in
transit and were returned to the dis
tributing house at Seattle. The injured
cars were among shipment received
by the Oroville Motor company. Mr..
Bartell's four Studebaker skies came
through intact. The error was made
because the shipment to the two deal
ers arrived here just about the same
time, with the knowledge that Mr..
Bartell had received shipment and
not knowing that a second car load
had come for the Oroville Motor COM
pany.
