TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
NO OFFER. FOR AN 8-CYLINDER CAR. Several local residents were accosted by an oil-begrimed young man in Main Street yesterday afternoon and asked if they would like to make an offer for an eightcylinder 1923 Oldsmobile car which had “chewed put her big-ends.” “She goes to the higest bidder” he informed his audience. It appears that the car arrived in town on .Sunday night.under its own power, but “knocking” badly. The occupants, three young men and two ladies, put up at on hotel and the next morning the car was towed to Pearson’s garage. There the driver inspected the big ends and decided to offer the car for sale No offer being forthcoming the car was finally towed tp the railway station to be consigned to Wangaui. The party left by taxi for .Palmerston North to connect with a train for their home town —Wanganue.
