Ki Competition is very keen in local automobile circles. and prospective [purchasers of cars this spring are learning more about the good and bad points of automobiles than they ever knew before. - GRIMSBY has, we believe more automobile agencies and more sales- men than any other town of a simi- lar size in the Diminien. Every place you go you run into a salesman for some make or another of a car. The competition is very keen and sales are being made every day that would not otherwise have been made were there not so many salesmen on the ground. The presence of so many of these salesmen creates what would not be created for some time to come and induces men to buy cars who a tew weeks previous had no in- tention of buying this season. At the present time there are no less than twelve different cars be- ing offered to the public for their approval through eight different agencies in this little town ot ours. We have F. E. Russ handling the Studebaker; Gilmore's Garage of St. Catharines through their salesman Fred J. Poole, the Overland, and in- cidentally he will sell you a Hudson Super-Six, a Hupmobile or a Cadil- lac; W. W. Kidd is selling the world famous McLaughlin; whiie Capt. Ronald Kidd is handling the Olds- mobile; County Motors Limited have the Chevrolet and James Fisher is still handling the old reliable Ford; Aid. Jimmy Wray has the Maxwell and Chandler cars; while Culley and Breay of Hamilton through their GRIMSBY representative Mr. Fair- child will also sell you Overlands. child will also sell you Overlands. Anyone wishing to buy a car need not look outside ot GRIMSBY for one as all the :best makes from the cheapest to the highest priced cars are represented here. Among the Dealers J. E. Tuppling who has been smashing trucking records all spring with his Ford one-ton truck is still at it.- He made five trips to Hamil- ton and one to Toronto last week for loads of goods, besides doing in- numerable small jobs.

Front and rear springs of special construction, steering gear remarkable for its ease of operation and long, "heel-base give the McLaughlin unusual red qualities, which, as every McLaughlin owner realizes, along with the flexible, degradable power furnished by its valve-in-head motor, make for comfort and [satisfaction under all motoring conditions.

Jas. A. Livingston for several years has been a trotting horse en- thusiast but no one ever accused him of being a lover of the running .or jumping horse, still on Sunday he pulled off a steeplechasing stunt that would make some ot, the world's crack jockeys green with envy. On Saturday he traded his Henry Ford, which he has been driving for two years into the County Motors for a new Chevrolet "490". On Sunday morning in company with Fred Paw- son, Mechanical Superintendant of the County Motors he paid a visit to his Jordan farm. He drove all the way down and all the way back and never killed a living thing. Just as he was turning into the County-Mot- ors garage on Main street he went to put the brakes on but instead he stepped on the accelerator and the "490" leaped away like the 20th Cen- _..-..-.--------."----------------.::...---:-,,:.:. -1&waflwily!EMWQMIM!ML\€AW9, lg tury Limited.
