DENNEY has made a hand car and sled of his new Saxon. Denney’s yard gate is a little narrow (or looks that way) and profiting by DR. ASHINHURST’s smash-up when his car was new, Denney does not intend for his car to run around town with a bum nose, consequently he carefully pushes it in and out of the gate. The Saxon is a good car though as Denney has already put it to a test with the brakes on. A little hard on the engine, but if the wheels won’t turn, they’ll slide. Addington J. S.
