MEN WE MEET In The Motor Trade

G. J. B. NORWOOD TN the Capital City, the name of Norwood is as ' fariiiliar to citizens as> their own, . but step into . the motor trade and mention Dominion Motors, Ltd.,- and C.J.B. of that ilk is instantly conjured to mind. '•' ; . He it is who is the "Daddy" . of that huge; concern, which _to-day has branches arid agencies ■' m every- city and town worthy of the name In the Dominion. He pioneered the ground work for Dominion Motors, Ltd., away back m 1911. Some little justification for fatherly pride is his when, ( m retro-

spect, he views the company as it is to-day. , C. J. B. Norwood is best knoyrn m , the Capital as its one-time mayor, but , nis municipal activities extend for j some years prior to that time— when . he occupied the more humble seat of a city councillor. It was largely owing to his initiative and perseverance that the municipalisation of Wellington's milk supply was ,' brought about. .- When a Free Ambulance for the city; ' was mooted, Norwood, .with character-: . istic zeal, put his shoulder to, the wheel and helped the scheme along. Its pre- ; sent happy financial position also partly redounds to his credit. 5 Not' one to do things by halves, C.J.B.N. is a man of forceful energy. As managing director of the Dominion Motors, the company, assuredly, cotyldnot be tinder better guidance. ; |. r
