August 5 1926Messrs Harry Ferguson, Ltd, 3 Bedford Street and May Street, Belfast, are the first motor factory in Ireland to inaugurate a scheme for selling second-hand cars on a week’s approval and special deferred terms. To entice a reticent public to buy second-hand cars, the always-innovative Harry Ferguson offered a warranty scheme of one week on second-hand purchases. ***Tribute to Free State by Presbyterian MinisterAt a luncheon in Buncrana yesterday, Presbyterian Minister, Mr IJT Colquhoun, submitting the sentiment of the “Free State Government and Prosperity to Ireland”, said it very often happened that people in the Six Counties were inclined to jeer at the people in the Free State, and say: “Oh, you live in the Free State; I would not like to live there”. He always felt disposed to tell them that if they in the Six Counties had got a country in such a mess as they found the Free State in a few years ago, and had got a Government that had done as well as the Free State Government, working under exceptional difficulties, had done jolly well, indeed. A Presbyterian Minister responded to Northern taunts about the backwardness of the Free State by claiming the fledgling state was doing well considering the disastrous circumstance of its birth.
