His father, Geo -qe Frizzell; hqd been a Ford dealer here in 1918. General Motors products were carried in, 1944 and they still ore. These are. Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, and Vauxhall cars; Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Shortly after his purchase of the business Mr. Frizzell remodelled the building which included the. office, stockroom, gas service, also an addition of a new paint and body shop. At this time he also purchased the biggest wrecker in Prince ' . Rupeit. Obtained from the Canadian. Army in Calgary, the w,-eckei has a capacity of 15 tons. Biggest job ever accomplished with the truck was the erection of the Shell Oil tanks here i our years ago the wrecker was hired by Northern B.C. Power Company as a snow plow, to get up to Tye through three jeet of snow. Highly trained mechanics at Frlzzell s take specialized General Motors courses two or three times a year at Vancouver or Prince Geargi. Partsmen and accountants also take special courses in their respective fields, Salesmanship is included. t A Self-Training Plan from General Motors is also usd by the local staff. Program of this plan is arranged in such a way that th j local manager of a member of the staff ca i quickly grasp the courses and act as instructor. Mi. Frizzell looks after sales himself. Since 1944 volume at sales has increased more per capita in prince Rupert than in other centres. Cars are in fctter condition hfrc than anywhere else in B.C. because there have been more new car sales. To disprove the story. Frizzell swam across the harbor that New Year'f Day. "I was just a little mad at Skeena Highway eight years ago percentage of newer model cars here is higher than anywhere in the newspaper story. Everyone here knows that Prince Rupert the province, says Mr. Frizzell. Also, there are more cars per capita in Prince Rupert than in other B.C. cities. MRS. LORRAINE DELL . . . Accountant harbor has never frozen," lie says today, recalling the incident. He took his New Year's dip thereafter for many years and ctill claims the water "isn't very cold." Like his father, Frizzell dabbles in politics "as a hobby." He is vice-president of the Federal Liberal Association, "because I "And I think the automobile business here will always be on a high standard. It would get a big boost, too, If we got a well-paved highway out of here."

Doing awav with the running board has helped in improved design and roominess of the interior. Hydraulie brakes, narrower posts, larger glass area and a lower centre point of balance make the cars of 1952 far safer than in '44. Plans for the immediate future, states Mr. Frizzell, include construction of a Service Garage on the corner of Fraser and Seventh Street this spring. This garage will accommodate 12 cats and provide parking space for 15. Frizzell's Motor Products will also build a service station on the corner of Second Avenue and Seventh St-eet in the near future Twenty-four hour service' will be provided. There will be four service bays, an office, a showroom, and a parking area for 50 cars off the street. During1 1952 it is also planned to improve the present site of Frizzell Motors with a larger showroom, office and stockroom. The body shop will be extended to the alley. New buildings, additional parking space, and improvements to present facilities are necessary, says Mi'. Frizzell. because of the large increase in General Motors units in the city of Prince. Rupert and district. Frizzell's Motors handle Sciberllng tires and are the only outlet in the city for Home Gas. 1:J .m.
