WESTLIE & ROOT TAKE OVER
WELL KNOWN MOTOR CONCERN

Messrs. Westlie and Root who re-
Gently purchased the Moore Motor
Companys holdings in this city took
possession New Years day. H. H.
Westlie for the past eight years has
been located at Parshall where he was
engaged in the grain business and also
identified, with the Holt Motor Co. OF
Parshall, while Mr.. Root has been en-
gagged in farming one Of the largest
tracts on the Berthold reservation for
several years, moving his family here
from Van Hook where they have resid-
ed. The Westlie family moved to
the city some time ago. Both men
are keen, bright young businessmen
and there is no question as to their
success in continuing the business of
the old firm which has grown to be
one of the most prominent establish
ments in the city. The style of the
firm will be the Westlie-Root Motor
Co. They will handle Ford cars and
parts, Fordson tractors and Goodyear
tires.
