Gordon McGregor, in charge of the Canadian interests of the Ford Motor Company, last week completed a trip around the globe. McGregor traveled 40,00 miles and visited seventeen separate foreign countries, in which he opened agencies for the Ford car. Among the places visited by him were Vancouver, B. C.; Honolulu, Sydney, Australia; New Zealand, Madras, Bombay, Calcutta, Rome, Naples, Turin, Paris and London.
FRANKLIN AGENT ORIGINAL
Los Angeles Herald
R. C. Hamilton received word last week of an interesting stunt pulled off by the Franklin agent, C. M. Menzies, in Portland. A Franklin car was run seventy-two hours without stopping the motor. But the thing which attracted the most attention was a small negro boy sitting on the hood of the car. He carried a sign which read: " 'Taint hot or I would get off." In the seventy-two hours of constant running the car used forty gallons of gasoline and eighteen pints of oil.
