M. Bromwell, saies manager for the Oldsmobile Sales company, has this to say “In my twelve years or more experience in the automobile business I never at- tended a convention that was &o treighted with genuine enthusiasm and gathering. Sixty pronlinent distributers from every part of the United States were present and their stories were so uniform about the increased growth of trade on the Oldsmobile and its rapidly Increasing sale that there was not a aingle element of discord in the entire | convention.
