Meetings in each town la : t for one day, beginning with a luncheon and terminating with gh afternoon business session in a leading theatre or auditorium. A -feature**of the luncheon is the insfbilation of offi cers of the “j00-Car Club,” a star salesmen’* organization composed of those retail salesmen who disposed of one hundred or more cars during the calendar ‘year. Each zone has its local, organization, and, a national or ganization also is maintained. The afternoon busine s sessions, as worked out by W. G. Lewellen, sales promotion "manager, consist of stage scenes and playlets with factory men in the role of actors. Each group of officials is accompanied by a carload of special scenes, drops, stage set tings and other theatrical equipment to aid to the effective presentation of This is the Camel package in which a eignificant change ha* recently been made 0 xUSwAiiUV r*r REWARD "pictures forrn'a part of the presenta tion to the salesmen and dealers aeross'*'the footlights.

National dealer meetings alsD_jf;ere held before the customary time in an effort to make business better. The revision in the company’s nor mal program had an almost immediate effect. Production in November and December set new high records for those . months, and Chevrolet passen ger car registrations in December lead .all other makes, a position of leadership which the company seems destined to maintain during January in view’ of the trend of early reports. •mem . * • ir- v —— • What significant change has recently been made in the wrapping of tfie Camel package containing 20 ^cigarettes and - : .. ■■—what are its advantages to the smoker? — ,jj 4 Grany Jury Presentment. i 4 The following is the presentment of the Grand Jury made at the term of court held here this w’eek: The Grand Jury for Barnwell Coun ty heg s leave to report as follows: 1.
