THE GRIT SIX J MOUNTAIN CLIMBER Somewhere In the Sierra Nevadas is a company of scientists in a Grant Six touring car, pursuing mineral research re-search work for a large eastern industrial indus-trial interest which desires to keep secret its identity and of the purpose of the research party. How the scientists came to select a Grant Six for their difficult mountain traveling is a story that throws an interesting sidelight on automobile salesmanship and illustrates how in the motor car business an adventure romance Is always prone to lend its interest to the Chase for the almighty "iron man." One of the party of scientists was a passenger on an ocean liner from China which was recently disabled off ' tho California coast, and had an opportunity op-portunity of seeing a Grant Six in action ac-tion over rough country, when the car traveled to the scene of the wreck at racing speed with a party of newspaper news-paper reporters and photographers. The scientists, who, with other passengers, was taken from the ship by a tug, lauded tho performance of the Grant c?ix to his fellow research workers when he joined them in San Francisco preparatory to the start for the Sierra Nevadas. He succeeded in inoculating them with some of his interest, in-terest, with the result that they asked ask-ed Frank O. Renstrom, president of the Frank O. Renstrom company, Grant distributor for the San Francisco Fran-cisco territory and the man who "had donated the Grant Six for newspaper use. to give them a demonstration. The Grant Six the same car that had carried the newspaper men was subjected to a gruelling test, and the scientists were so thoroughly satisfied satis-fied with its ability to at up rough i country and climb the steepest hills j that they insisted upon buying the car. That Grant Six, and no other, would do, they declared.
