Sidney Business
Changes Name

Sidney ‘automobile business.
hitherto trading under the name
of Westover -and —Pope, - will, ..in
future, be. known ‘as Pope’s Gar-
‘age. Ray Pope, who made the an-
nouncement: at the..end of. last
week, stated -that his father, R.
‘ Pope, Sr., would be. assisting him
in ‘the operation of the business. ©
- Mr. Pope -has’ been: connected
with the motor trade in: Sidney |

for many years. He started at
McKenzie’s Garage in Sidney 25
years ago. The establishment was

situated where the Bank of Mont- :

real now. stands.

Jim Westover has relinquished
his interest “in the business ‘and

‘intends to follow a new occupa-

tion.

“More ‘than: 500 sets: for radio
listening have..been given. away

Actually I’m a sloppy. painter, I
get the paint in my hair and it

This rejuvenation of the house
