SELLS BABIES If a cheerful and engaging personality is an asset worth the having m the business world today, then Robert F. T. Burnett, at present on the sales staff of Magnus Motors, Ltd., m Wellington, is indeed fortunate. AN intriguing: burr m his speech sets one a- wondering where this happy optimist hails from. If New Zealand is his adopted country, he names Scotland as his place of birth. The migratory instinct, however, later found him m Canada. But India, that land of mystics, also knew R.F.T.8., for he saw two years of active service among the hill tribes of the frontier under the King's colors. The steadier years ahead say him once again back m Canada, where his time was fully occupied surveying with, the Canadian National Railways. As if life had not already shown him enough diversification, Burnett, m 1914, joined m the big strife and saw service until the end. Anent these varied experiences of his he will tell you nothing, and if he shines m the sales of Baby Austins and his firm's other cars, he keeps his own exploits m the background., The ten years Robert Burnett has spent m New Zealand have not been wasted ones, as his, rapid progress demonstrates. Here's hoping, too, there's a niche for him "funther up."
