His connection with that firm covers a period of more than 30 years, during which time he has sold every year thousands of dollars' worth of their goods.

Each scat will hoiu three persons, tho boat having easy accommodations for six persons. An nu-tomobllu steering wheel extends from the compartment In which the engine is located and tho speed can be controlled as on an automobile.
