"Halley History."
We are in receipt of a handsome booklet. of some fifty pages, issued by Halley's Industrial Motors, Ltd., Yoker, Glasgow, and entitled " Halley. History." The growth of the Halley undertaking, from the year 1901 to date, is traced in interesting fashion, and without any labouring. One is reminded that Mr. George H. Halley, the managing director, devoted the first few years of his motor activities to the construction of steam wagons, but it cannot. be denied that the cornpany;.s rapid progress dates from a short time after Mr. Halley's conversion to the claims of the internal-cornbusion engine. The booklet is illustrated in an attractive way, so as to convey interesting facts concerning the works and the details of the company's chassis. A copy will be mailed, free of charge, to any inquirers who write to the company at the above address, provide-they are seriously considering the matter of purchasing industrial motor vehicles.
