Green & Sweet Co., one of Boston’s 
leading automobile supply concerns, 
have hired the store on Central 
street, Manchester, formerly known 
as the Wonson store. They will open 
a branch there some time in April. 
This will be welcome news to the 
many customers of this firm in Bos- 
ton, who will thus be able to get dir- 
ect service from them during the 
summer months. 
The Oilzum exhibit. at the auto 
show last week by this firm attracted 
many people. They are continuing 
the exhibit during the truck show 
which opened Wednesday night. 
One of the Boston papers had the 
following to say about the firm in its 
Sunday issue: 
‘* Although starting in business less 
than a year ago, the Green & Swett 
Company is today one of the leading 
automobile supply concerns in Bos- 
ton. 
‘‘Russell T. Green, president and 
manager of the company, attributes 
the rapid growth to their broad 
policy, which is standard goods, 
right prices, a square deal for every- 
one and the liberal support of our 
many friends. 
Fred K. Swett, treasurer, although 
a new-comer in the automobile busi- 
ness, is already well known along 
Automobile Row, and has made a 
host of friends. At present the com- 
pany is busy demonstrating the 
safety self-starter, which they claim 
is the only real starter on the market. 
‘*Among the formost line of acces- 
sories carried by the Green & Swett 
Company is oilzum gas engine cylin- 
der oil and lubricants, manufactured 
by the White & Bagley Co., of Wor- 
cester, Mass. 
Oilzum is a great favorite among 
the race drivers and was used by 
Ralph K. Mulford in the last Vander- 
bilt Cup Race, which he won at 
Savannah, in the month of Novem- 
ber; 1911.’ 
I can generally tell whether a 
man has been bred to wealth, or 
has made his own fortune by the 
way he boasts.
