Automobile dealers On Omaha are re-
oeiving large consignments Of automobiles
sold during the show and before and after
IT, The cold weather during the last week
has made Il almost impossible for dealers
to sell any new machines as Il was too
cold to give demonstrations and was far
more comfortable sitting around the Are
side than chasing around in a toot-toot
car. The automobile business Is stiil in
the stage where It is more Of a problem
to get cars from the factory than IL is to
sell them. for the buyers are plentiful II
the dealers could but deliver the goods.
But when a dealer cannot give positive
assurance that a car will be delivered in
