Detroit, Mich, March 15.-The re-
cent statement that r. Fl. Collins was
growing restless in retirement and
would soon re-enter the automobile in
dustry has resulted in renewed bid
ding for his services.
Mr.. Collins admits that he has re-
ceived several flattering offers, but re-
fuses to affirm or deny whether he has
accepted any definite connection.

urged the man who was former presi-
dent of Buick. and more recently presi-
dent and general manager of the Ca
dillac and Peerless Motor Car com
panies, to come out of his retirement
and accept important executive posi-
tons they have held out to him. Mr..
Collins is widely accepted MS posses
sing one of the best merchandising
minds in the country. He has been in
retirement since his resignation from
Peerless in December.
One story has it that few days
ago he was Offered and turned down a
high executive position with one of the
lindustry's largest producers.
Another story that is being given
wide credence here is that he will
soon become actively connected with
one of his former associates. 1t is vir-
tually certain, according to state
ment recently made by one of his con-
fidants. that Collins will soon return
to the industry.
