Sowing this was decided not to Year. occupy it, at the

In Bristol, last week, I heard that the Continental Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd.. was about Continentals opening a depot Newest Branch. there, and, on my return to town, this report. is amply confirmed. Business in South Wales and the west of England demands a stock depot, and by the 1st of February, 63. , Victoria Street, Bristol, will find the Continental installed with a large stock of tires and accessories, and prompt deliveries can be confidently looked for. The latest testimonial to this company shows that it is making much headway with solid tires for commercial purposes_ The North British Motor Express, Ltd., write: " We have tried all the best-known t:res on the market, and as yet have had none that can compare with Continentals."
There is always a soft corner in my heart for a whilom colleague, by name Mr. William Anning, A Former who was a few years Colleague. ago a representative
on the business side of our sister paper " The Motor." On Tuesday next, he joins the Russian Tyre and Rubber Importing Cu., Ltd., that being the title of the English House, established in Shaftesbury Avenue, for the sale of the wellknown Prowodnik tires, for which Mr. Gleish is the English head and forefront.

He is a worker, and—which should help him—he possesses all the urbanity and persuasiveness of a parliamentary candidate!
The Hillman-Coatalen Motor Car Co., Ltd., of Coventry, has changed its name to the Hillman Motor Car Co., Ltd.
