The announcement waa made Monday
that George F. Cooant vice president
and general manager of the East Texas
Oakland company had been appointed
general sales manager for the Oaklaad
company in Texas Houthwest Art. ansa.
Nrathweet Louisiana aad Houtnern new
Mexico effective at once. Thia-is a
newly created position and gives Mr.
Conant a great deal of responsibility ia
addition to the supervisioa of tat' sales
of about 0000 cars per year.
Mr. Conant la the oldest maa ia point
of service with the Oaklaad orgaaiaatioa
in the Booth west coming Texas tea
years ago when the Oakauxl company
first Invaded this territory. He- baa ia
that time built up probably aa wide aa
acquaintance . among sutomooiie !
throughout this sectioa of the country
as any one in the business.
Steady Climb From First
His rise haa been a steady cUmb from
the first whea he started as a retail
salesman for the company and haa ro
up step by step until he has reached bis
present position which carries with it
tar-reaching influence and an excellent
salarv increase.
When Mr. Conant started in with tna
company In Texas they were buiMing
about 500 cars per year and the produc
tion has continued to Increase until at
the present tune the company ia turning
out ears at the' rate of nearly 100000
per year.
In 1912 and IMS Mr. Conant was
factory branch manager in Houston and
ia 1910 be established the Conant Auto-
mobile "company; wholesale and retail
dealers ia Oakland cars in this city. The
business was carried on-until the estab-
aaameatcwf thatTxas Oakland om-
bt. -af. which be became -vice presi
dent and' general manager when the re-
tail end of the business trss dropped Ihe
company wholesaling car exclusively.
1 Baslseas Grew Fast
The extent of tbe business built an
largely through the- efforts of Mr. Conant
may be seen from the fact that start-
ing at nothing the business baa grown
to where from 1000 to 1500 Oakland
cars annually are sold in the territory
controlled by the East Texas Oakland
company. - 7 1
Aa the business has (rowa aad Mr.
Conant 1 prominence ia the automotive

during the early part of the present
'ear at ihe Oakland factory b Michigan
a The interest of all the Texas bouses.
In establishing the oositioa aa aeneral
sales manager in this sectioa of the
country Mr. Conant said the company
had in mind the nifvtox of sales noli-
eies and ideals of the company in ardor
