Business Started
By Him in 1911
Had Variety Store
Here Prior to That

A business career which he
started in Marysville nearly AZ
years ago, was rounded out by
H. /. Huffman last week when he
sold his interest in the garage
which bears his name to his part
ner, August c. Vollrath.
The business itself dates back
to 1911, while Mr.. Vollrath has
been a partner in it since 1919.
Mr.. Huffman came to Marys-
vile in 1908 when he traded his
business in Plain City for a va
riety store called the Bazaar. The
Bazaar was located in S. Main st.
where the A. & P. store now IS
situated.
Peanuts Big Seller
I'VE sold about everything UNI
der the sun in the Bazaar" Mr..
Huffman recalls, "but one of our
biggest sellers was shelled pea
nuts at 10 cents a pound. We sold
about 500 pounds per week"
On Nov. /, 1911, Mr.. Huffman
entered the automobile business,
starting in the old Methodist
Church building which was To-
Gated at E Fifth and Walnut SITS,
where the Rausch Purcell sta
ton nows stands. His son, Lloyd
Huffman, continued to operate
the Bazaar for some time after
that.
After a few months, however,
Lloyd joined his father IN the
automobile business and the Ba-
a was sold to Marvin Tossey.
Sold Ford. Overland
When he first started Mr. Huff
man sold Ford and Overland
automobiles. Altogether, he held
the Overland and WillyS-Knight
agency here for % years.
1t was in 1880 that H. |. Huff
man & Co. acquired the Buick
franchise, and the Pontiac agency
in 1893, which cars they still sell.
At various times they have also
sold the Nash, Maxwell, DeSoto,
Chrysler and Plymouth cars.
They had the Chrysler- Plymouth
franchise until 1886.
Although the company no
longer sells trucks, they have in
the past been representatives for
Overland, WHY'S, International
and G.M.C.
Built on Building
It was not long before the old
Methodist Church building be-
came too small and inconvenient
for a f~ast-growing automobile
agency, and Mr.. Huffman decided
to seek quarters elsewhere. Find
ing nothing in town suitable for a
garage, he built his own, a two
story brick building at E.. Fifth
and Plum SITS. The Kroger store Is
now located there.
AS automobiles grew in use.
ever this building gradually be
came too small, so in 1925, Mr.
Huffman and Mr.. Vollrath ex-
banded some more. They went
across Plum st. to construct part
of the building which is now the
company's headquarters.
For three years, this building

Sharp Portraits.
Sayward and PortiuS Wheeler
live out their lives, and even the
railroad comes to Americus. In
the final pages, troops are march
ing away to the Civil War.
The portraits of Sayward and
Portius both are sharp and COM
plete. but it is Sayward who domi-
mates the book. She is stalwart
honest. wise; she would be a wor-
thy prototype for all pioneer
women. The peculiar, confused
Chancey never comes as clearly
into focus.
Several episodes are particularly
moving. There is the news that
Sayward's sister Sulie, who dis
appeared in childhood, is alive;
the journey of SayWard and an
other sister to a distant town and
their discovery that Sulie has be-
come, in effect. an Indian and
hardly remembers them. There is
the tragic fate of Rosa, the illegiti-
mate child who grows up to love
Chancey. And there is the return
of the ancient. Worth Luckett,
Sayward's father, believed dead

Mr.. Richter has his own way of
writing. 1t is often subjective,

somehow these glimpses take clear

This collection of 10 profiles
from the New Yorker might be
subtitled "PainStaking Studies of
Painstaking People" In each case,
Robert Lewis Taylor, biographer
of w c. Fields, has taken a deep
plunge into the medium in which
his subjects work, be it piano,
or hockey, movie-making, acting
or trapeze swinging. thus. he has
not only managed to gather all
the vital statistics about such va
ried characters as Percy Granger,
Bobby Clark, Robert j. Flaherty
and family of circus acrobats;
he has gained much insight into
their technical problems and pro-
fessional standing. Mr.. Taylor is
one New Yorker writer who is not
afraid to let an opinion or two
break through the high polish of
his prose. His obvious sympathy
and admiration adds appeal to his
work, particularly when he is writ
ing of such kindly. eccentric
genius as Percy Granger, the sub
ject of his title piece. He has also
included smattering of short
stories.

Maclean manages to make light
of his part in all of these delicate
and dangerous operations, pre-
serving his detachment and good
humor. and managing, without
ever being silly. to make it sound
like schoolboy lark. While de-
scribing a military or political
situation or a tight place in des-
ert or mountain fighting he al
ways takes note of the minor
characters - the British surgeon
who cared nothing for ideologies
and called the Partisans "the Pat
tersons," and the little red-headed
girl named Ginger, beloved of
the British mess sergeant, who
was massacred by the Nazis when
they recaptured the town. 1t is
such things that give his book
its memorable quality and make
it one of the most enthralling to

And how did Horace Mann come

first time really see her? Mrs.
Tharp is trying to fathom that,
with ample help from the present
