came first on this occasion. She in
troduced A. E. Nelson, manager of
the Coco-Cola plant at Pine City,
and Russell Wilson, one of the sales
men, who presented talking movie
of an educational nature called "Main
Street" This picture was made to
be presented to their statesmen who
drive their large trucks, but anyone
can get good lesson from it as it
pointed out that personal appearance
and courtesy were essential in the
problem of making living. They
made it very plain that any driver
is responsible when taking any we'll
built car, with other favorable con-
