Bus operators generally End that there is a distinct traffic lull during the months of January and February. The Northallerton Omnibus Co., Ltd., of Bedale, Yorks, well appreciates this fact and has built up a big business through being on the look-out for new ideas in transportation, with the object of encouraging the public to travel. The company recently catered for patrons over a wide area by arranging a whist drive and dance in aid of the Leeds Infirmary.
