During his stay here he will travel extensively through, the coun- try with a view to further absorbing ideas of local con- ditions and meeting distribu-

tors and dealers who are handling Vauxhall cars, as well as owners of this British car, It is their comments and suggestions and what he himself sees and experl. ences which Mr. Walton will take back with him to England for use In the development of the Vaux- hall plans for enlargement of Ita growth through the world."
