Rolls-Royce

Time was when the U. S. saw very few Rolls-Royces gliding along. In 1915 Manhattan had only 346 cars of this make, some of them ten years old already. Last year even England bought three times as many as did the U. S.

Hereafter, it was announced last week by Henry J. Fuller, Chairman, of the Board and President of Rolls-Royce of America, Inc., the concern will go out for a greater share of the U. S. high-priced-car market. On Jan. 1 it acquired Brewster & Co., famed Long Island City makers of fine motor bodies, which gives the combined firms a payroll of 1,600 employes. These will expand to 5,000 or 6,000 in 1926, President Fuller confidently expects.
