CRAHAM-P
OPENS HERE WITH
JONES AS DEALER

Coming as complete surprise to
che trade, Harry G. Jones this week
announced his appointment as Gra-
ham Paige dealer for Imperial coun-
~.
Due to long activity in the motor
car industry in the Imperial and
San Diego county territories, Jones
is wellknown throughout the field
and is welcomed as a competitor by
the motor car dealer group. Jones
will be remembered by many people
in Imperial valley due to his long
association with G. w. McCabe, Inc,
Dodge Brothers dealers for this
territory. He spent two years as
service manager for McCabc organ
ization in FL Centre, and five years
as manager of Imperial valley
branch. In October, 1925, he was
transferred to San Diego as general
manager of the entire McCabc in
terests. Upon the death of c. w.
McCabe in February, Jones con
tinucd his connection with the firm
under G. \. Gray. who succeeded
McCabc as Dodge distributor.
/On August Goth of this year,
Jones was appointed Graham Paige
distributor for San Diego county,
and few weeks later the factory
asked him to take over and handle
their line is Imperial county. Due
to the long years of experience III
selling motor ears at retail in I'm
perial valley, Jones is particularly
well fitted for the appointment he
has Just received. During the ten
years Harry Jones was connected
with the Dodge organization, he be
came personally acquainted with
three Graham brothers, who at that
time were builders of the Graham
brothers truck, and who later had
crs organization.
Regarding his new venture, Jones
SAYS, Knowing their marvellous
reputation as remarkably successful
manufac tprers. their sound mer-
chandising policy based on honesty,
and absolute integrity, I became in
terested in their new project almost
as soon as I learned of their pur-
chase of the old Paige Company,
and have looked forward to a posi-,
hility of making connection with
them in this territory. | consider
myself extremely fortunate to Sc
cure San Diego and Imperial county
distributorship, as | realize that
these communities are among the
fastest growing, and present the
greatest opportunities of any sec
tion of the southwest at this ime.
NV faith in the three Graham
brothers is unbounded. Starting
With simple attachment which
formed a truck out of touring
car. they built their business to a
Point where they were considered
the largest manufacturers of high
grade motor trucks in the world
Regardless of what product, the
Graham brothers were building they
have always kept it up to date, and
this one feature appeals to me as
being the most desirable in motor
ear manufacturing.
Having spent over 10 years IN the
service end of the motor ear busi-
ness. Jones realizes what it means
TO motor car dealer to properly
service and care for the ears which
have been sold. Adequate service
facilities with complete stock of
replacement parts will soon be cs-
tablished at his new place of bust
ness

Although Chang Tso-Lin has with
drawn to Mukden. Manchuria, and
the presidential palace at Peking,
which he occupied as northern die

as possible.
Premier Pan Flu, who accompani-
cd Chang as far as TientSin teIe-
graphed the secretary OF the north
ern cabinet and the ministers of for
eign affairs and interior instructing
them to refer matters to Mukden,
from which place the mandates
would be telegraphed to Peking. He
announced that he would join
Chang in Mukden and establish the
temporary office of the general gov
ernment to Mukden, leaving minis
ters at Peking to attend to internal
and external affairs pending further
military reverses at the hands of the
nationalists. If further reverses
should occur it was expected that
the ministers would go to Mukden.
Troops Hold Front.
In the meantime northern troops
remained holding front to the
south of Peking and the west of
Tientsin toward which a large force
of Shantung troops under Marshall
eun Chuan Fang of the northern
military alliance were moving. 1t
was expected that the Mukden
troops of the northern alliance
would retire to Lwanyhow, 80 miles
south of the great wall on the Tient-
sim Mukden railway, if the south
ernerS resumed their advance and
pressed them backward.
