WILL HANDLE THE FIELD WORK
Sieg Retains His Present Post as
The Assistant Sales
Manager.

Colonel Frank +. Smith, first vice
president and general manager of
the Republic Motor Truck Co, Inc,
has announced the appointment of
Forest II. Akers as assistant gen.
eral sales manager Of the Republic
Truck Sales Corporation, the channel
through which Republic motor trucks

AS assistant to General Sales Man

For the past seven years Akers

Motor Car Company of Lansing,
Michigan, in various sales positions,
having latterly, for three years, been
general sales manager, which posi-
tion he recently resigned and i'm
mediately joined the Republic or
ganization.
Having, in addition TO his thorough
automotive sales experience, received
well grounded training in mer-
chandising in rural communities, by
his connection with the Oliver
Chilled Plow Works Of South Bend,
Indiana, and also the Ohio Rake
Company of Dayton, Ohio, Akers
brings to Republic the knowledge of
what the haulage problems of the
farmer really are, as well as the
larger transportation problems of
the big cities.
With an intimate knowledge of
territorial conditions, affecting the
sales and distribution Of automotive
equipment, in every section Of this
country, Akers is expected to make
great advancement in the already
wide distribution Of Republic trucks
Mr.. Akers assumed his duties or

ROBBERY SUNDAY
Purity Brand Milk Company Office
Entered.

Thieves paid Alma another visit on
Sunday night, but as has been the
case in the past, they did not Sc.
cure returns for their efforts, ex.
cept for some small change that was
secured at the offices Of the Purity
Brand Milk Company.
The offices of the company were
ransacked in good style by the
thieves, but it is understood that less
than three dollars was secured.
This makes the fifth place that
has been entered in Alma during the
past ten days, by thieves, who
seemingly have left no clues of their
visits. In the five places the robbers
have secured less than $1,000, and il
is very possible that they will soon
realize that Alma business houses
are not leaving money in cash
drawers or safes, and that Alma of
fers poor field for such operations.
