Here's q story of faith unparalleled
in D. {. 0utOmotive history

This is the story of one mans complete faith in product
and of his sincere belief too, in intelligent people
everywhere. It's example of faith that prompted this
man to spend S2O.2Ol 55 to prove his point
The story begins on country road in Virginia There
day few months ago. in spite of enthusiastic factory
ports about the completely 1857 Pontiac, Harry
Benda decided to put the car to road test him
self He already had admired the Pontiac for its beautiful
styling, its magnificent appointments, its stunning
design. But how did it perform?
Do know the beathtaking thrill Of discovery? Harry
Benda experienced it in the stirring surge and power
OF the Pontiac in the solid feel of control The
handled like a dream.

Weigert Recalls 50 Years
Of Changes in Meat Firm

friends and customers, died in
1920 and the business was taken
over by his son Francis A. Ost-
mann, who operated it until the
Idismantling of old Center Market
in 1881.
After moving to the new Gen.
ter Market at Fifth and K streets
NV, Francis Ostmann operated
the business only a few years
and retired leaving 1t in the
hands of Mr.. Weigert.
Recalls Leaders of Past
Mr.. Weigert remembers watt
ing on many Washington per-
Isonalities of the past, including
Dolly Gam. Mrs. John r. Will
Iliams. Mrs. Joseph Letter. Flea
nor Patterson and Mrs. Spencer
of the American Red Cross.
Il started serving the White
House at the beginning of the
Franklin D. Roosevelt admins
tration when Mrs. Henrietta Mes
bitt was official housekeeper,"
Mr.. Weigert declared.
Many of the foods mentioned
in her book, White House Diary.
came from our home on Chesa-
Ipeake Bay. The President loved
baby limas and Mrs. Roosevelt
was fond of okra." he recalled.
Mr.. Weigert continued to
serve the White House in the
Truman administration and also
in the Eisenhower administra-
ton. Some of Washington's
leading restaurants and the en-
bassies of many Nations have
been his customers. More than
Ia few prominent juristS, business
leaders and veterans of Congress
also are on the list.
Since his semi-retirement in
1912 when ration points became
Ia big headache, the business has
been operated by a son-in-law.
Gerard H. Erickson. But Mr..
Weigert still lends a hand two
or three days a week and always
on Saturdays, the biggest market
day.
