president and general manager.
During the four years of his
exclusive control, the Oakland
Motor Car Company has reveal-
ed an amazing growth. Five years

the official rating for the 1929
National Automobile Show, it
ranked in 4th place among all
members of the National Auto-
mobile Chamber of Commerce.
Annual production five years ago
hovered around the 44.000 car
mark, while last year it was ex-
cess of 260,000 Oakland and Pon-
tiac Sixes, with this year's sche-
dule calling for a substantial in-
crease.

years general agent of the Texas

been transferred to Dallas as gen-

been identified with the Texas and
Pacific for many years. Huffman
started with the road 25 years
ago as yard clerk at Longview

there and at Longview, as gen-
eral agent for the T. & P., I.-G.N.
and Santa Fe at Longview Junc-
tion, agent at Shreveport, and
came here eight years ago as local
freight agent, two years later be-
coming general freight agent.
Little was chief clerk in the lo-
cal freight oofice and the general
agent's office from 1917 to 1923,
chief clerk in the office of the
vice president in charge of traffic
from 1923 to 1926 and general
traveling freight agent until as-
signed to the place formerly held
by Huffman.
Mr. Little was born and reared
in Mineola, the son of Mrs. Lula
Little. He began his railroad
career in Mineola at the local
freight office in 1912.
