another good day with their father,
grandfather and great grandfather,
John F. Taylor that good old veteran
who has been through the oitters and

Thorough investigation of the con-

placement of the two bridges was
reiterated by the, directors. Mr..

Motor Accessories.

The motor accessory shares are an
other group on which traders are in
clined to look with favor. For the
past fortnight the pool in Martin

has been holding off to permit the
stock to firm up around its present
level before resuming operations.
The outstanding stock of the motor
accessories is quite small, and, as 1t
is closely held, the pools experience
little difficult. Demand from the
motor manufacturers, who look for
better spring business, has picked
up and is likely to be reflected In
earnings.
