He returned from Detroit last week where he has been for several days attending the factory managers meeting. He said that the Packards had passed up the self starting devices, but in other ways had added considerable to the cars
 We are not at liberty to disclose what will be new in the Packards for next year. he said yesterday. However, we contracted for a considerable order, be- ieving that the local discriminating buy CTS will see the greatness of the new car like they have the virtue of the last models. The sef-starting contraption has been passed up by the Packard. but the car continues to be the "AAA-1' for the discriminating few.

I find that all makers are attempting to make a. better car and increase the price than to try to make a lower price car and leave out some of the good things that must eventually be provided for. In that re- spect l think the manufacturers will find the public will stand behind them.
