Show Dealer Refuses to Sell New Auto to Clemenceau Georges Clemenceau, the grand old roan of Gaul, who uses an automobile inster.-d of the train for traveling about France, tried to buy a new ca-r the other day and couldn't. The company insisted on giving it to him. For several years the Tiger had traveled about in a big, but old, car. He decided it was about time to get a new model, and went to the sales office of-fice to see how much he would be al lowed on the old machine. "Monsieur la Fresident," the sales manager said, "France owes you too much. Let me pay my part of the debt." And he refused to accepr a sou from the Tiger. Clemenceau, on returning to his apartment, sent a check for 10.000 francs ?4U0 to the automobile plant to be distributed among workmen whose circumstances were the most needy. |
