"Hints on Garage Management.'
The first 12 of the series of "Hints on Garage Management," which have been prepared by Mr. Walter Boyle and issued by Perodo, Ltd., Sovereign Mills, Chapel-en-le-Frith, have just been published in booklet form. It was originally intended that the first 12 should complete the range of hints, but suggestions have been made that garage proprietors in quite a small way of business would appreciate a few remarks addressed particularly to them. No. 13 of the hints has, therefore, been issued as a supplementary pamphlet, and it contains material ' of special value to proprietors of this class. As a matter of fact, nearly all the hints in the preceding pamphlets apply with equal force to the -small and the large proprietor.
