Many Rensselaer People Invest In Automobiles All of a Sadden.

It looked for a time as though the automobile business was not running very strong in Rensselaer this year, but last week the business took on new life and at least five sales were made. George A. Williams and H. R. Grow each brought Fords, Judge Hanley bought a 6-passenger Reo, A. F. Long bought a 5-passenger Overland and A. Leopold bought an E. M. F. J. C. Gwin bought an EL M. F. about two weeks ago. There are said to be about twenty-five prospects in this vicinity at this time. Sunday most people that hpve cars were out with them and there was almost a continuous parade over the main traveled streets and roads all day.
