It is .the sequel to the sale which was announced last win ter during the Chicago show, at which time this concern placed an order for 24 Cartercars of this same model. The cars have been in commission since In connection with the sampling work throughout the United States. The fact that the company is now ordering 12 more is good evidence of the efficiency of the friction drive. -« | Orileri Dozen I More Cartercarti | \u25ba -« J. M.

O'Connor of Newark, bjvmembers of the Roman Catholic diocese of New Jersey. The car came as a surprise to the bishop, a commit tee appearing at his home in South Orange with the car. The bishop was called to the door by the committee and the car was presented to him In the name of the diocese. • While sedate in appearance and sub dued in color, the large car -was one •of the handsomest 'and most complete ever built by the Lozier company. Exquisite imported . broadcloth^ cord and lace trimmings were used In the, interior 1 upholstery, and the fltting3 and accessories were 'complete' and in perfect harmony. The door panels car ried the bishop's coat of arms, 'i presentation was made by Congress man James A. Hamill. Bishop O'Con nor. - although greatly - surprised, thanked the members of the commit tee and assured them of- his apprecia tion of their gift.
