Home Grocery Invests In A Delivery Automobile.

The Home Grocery is the first Rensselaer business firm to invest in an automobile for delivery purposes. They have bought of John W. Marlatt his first Ford machine, and have hired Clayton Norgor, an experienced chauffeur and mechanician to deliver for them. The bed of the machine will be remodeled so as to have as much package room as possible and the former horse and wagon method will be dispensed with except on busy days.
