It will be hard, no doubt, for `‘ The Extractor " to come up to the level of these notes when
Next Week. he returns. He has been holiday-making on the " Contitiong " part of the time, and, although in London at the time of going to press, he dues not protest that " his copy " is ready. As a matter of fact, its not, and the Editor won't wait while the originator of " Out and Home " laboriously brings his imagination back from fancies of bathing, flying, golf, motoring and other recreations to the severe routine of Rosebery Avenue. There is, of course, a treat in store. Freshened for the pleasant duties which belong to his side of the work, he will be " full " on his page each week. "I don't think!"
The head of the private-hire and haulage department of the London General Omnibus
"K.T." Tires, Co., Ltd., Mr.
Lawrence Fenner will shortly take up the management of the K.T. Syndicate, Ltd., in succession to Mr. A, E. Gelder. Mr. Fenner has been a great believer in the " K.T." tire for several years past, and his considerable experience in motor haulage has confirmed the original good opinion which he formed at a time when he never imagined he would be identified with the tire. Over two years ago, Mr. Fenner was responsible for the preliminary steps which have since led to the establishment of a French company, and he is now to occupy a position where he will probably he called upon to assist in the formation of many other sub-companies, for the K.T. Syndicate, as the parent body, naturally retains a considerable interest in any companies of the kind, whether abroad or at home. Another name which was mentioned in this journal, 4 few weeks ago, in connection with the " K.T." tire has reference to a contfleplated sub-company for England, and not to the parent syndieate of which Mr. Fenner will shortly be taking charge. Previously to Mr. Fenuer'e conneetion with the L.G.O.C., lie was, in the early days of the London Motor Omnibus Cu.. before it became the Vanguard Motorbas Co., appointed by the directors as its assistant chiefengineer. That was in 1906.
Mr. Everard 11. Calthrop, one of the earliest workers in the cause of heavy motoring, is back in town from Mexico. from Mexico. He has been out to direct the survey of all important. new railway, but his interest in motoring is undying, and it would not be surprising if more orders for vans followed his Home Again
visit, Friends of his bought a fleet for meat delivery, shortly after his visit iLl the early part of 1908, and many readers of TnE COMMERCIAL MOTOR will recollect the interview in the issue of the 4th June, 1908. NI r. Calthrop then suggested the establisliment of British trade representatives by the S.M.M.T., but inter-manufacturing jealousy seems to have stood in the way.
Mr. W. A. Tritton, the head of Foster's works at Lincoln, is a great believer in trade Tritton Abroad. throughout South America, and his business connections with that part of the world are very large. He is one of the strongest advocates of personal travelling, and it is not surprising that he should bring home big orders each time he goes abroad. Mr. Tritton will soon go out again to his happy hunting-ground, and is not expected to leave it for quitea long time when he lands in those southern dimes!
