HERE TO SELL AUTO STOCKS Some parties were in Rensselaer this week endeavoring to sell stock in an automobile company. They had ope of the cars manufactured by their company here and gave an unique demonstration on the street Wednesday afternoon, driving the car a# a very swift pace up an incline of perhaps eighteen inches and jumping it off at the high point, the car making a leap of about thirty-seven feet before striking the street again. Just what was sought to be proven by the peculiar demonstration we are at a loss to say, as perhaps almost any other make of car would perform the same stunt, but personally we would rather have a car that had not been submitted to any such “test.”,
