STAR HISTORY
Introduces De vaux, Head Of
Coast Branches

The star Motor Co. Of California
has made rapid strides since II was
organized IS months ago.
At its head Is Norman Dc vaux.
one OF the genuine pioneers OF the
automobile industry. factor OF na.
tional reputation In the past is years.
one Of the many men who grew up
with the bicycle industry and
launched into the automotive world
when motor cars first came into oc-
casional use.
De vaux has been identified with
the sale OF automobiles on he PA.
cific coast since 1905. according 10
w. s. Dulnage, local distributor. In
those trying days OF tho "horseless
carriage" when motoring was still
reckoned as fad which would die
out, just as the sport of bicycling did.
De yaux was associated with w. G.
Durant as a factory Buick represen-
tafiye.
In 1908 W. c. Durant left the Gen.
erai Motors Co. control. Almost I'M
mediately Durant started the manu-.
facture OF what he called the Little"
car. named after his FORMER general
manager at the Buick factory. Pro
duction Of the Little was carried on
in the Whiting Motor Car Co plant
at Flint, Mich. When Durant at.
tained volume output he offered the
Little franchise in the Pacific coast
territory TO De vaux. This car. the
the records show, later grew into the
Chevrolet.
In 1918 Chevrolet sales had grown
large enough to warrant a factory on
the Pacific coast. De yaux. r. c.
Durant, then the Southern California
Chevrolet distributor. and w. &.
Durant merged their interests. with
the resulting establishment Of n
branch factory in Oakland, Duimage
says.
De vaux remained as president Of
the Chevrolet Motor Co. OF California
until June. 1922, when he resigned
TO head the Star Motor Co. OF Cal.
