    • Motor Pioneer Joins Truck Corp
      An announcement of more than ordinary interest in Buffalo motor circles is that Henry C. Harvey has joined the Stewart Motor Corporation as factory sales representative. His headquarters will be in Buffalo.

      Mr. Harvey, or Harve as he has come to be known through years of close associations with automobile dealers and users in this part of the state, is one of the real pioneers of the industry.

      Mr. Harvey for many years was associated with the E. R. Thomas Motor Car Company, then one of the leading automobile factories in the country, having in the meantime advanced to an executive position. He then joined the sales force of the Cadillac Motor Car Company, leaving to enter the top and body concern of Bosche Bros. He later formed the Harvey Top & Body Company.

      He severed his connections with the company to join the Stewart Motor Corporation Buffalo sales force.

      Mr. Harvey's close application and study of the business in the intervening years has made him particularly well fitted to advise Buffalo business men on their truck needs.
