Patterson, Head of National Cash

Atlanta never could have a Council

among manufacturers, but MANY
motor car owners that the six

these manufacturers will be forced

that every dealer has benefited

more business the opening day and

seven cars were actually sold dur

At about this time OF the wear
each season manufacturers and
dealers commence to talk about the
scarcity of cars, especially for
spring delivery. A great many
motor car owners and prospective
purchasers regard these scarcity
statements with suspicion, but it
might be interesting to know that
every car we had on exhibit in the
show during the past week was
borrowed for the purpose from the
purchasers of the cars as we alb
solutely have not a light Hudson

the delivery Of these cars com

would honestly advise any prospec-
