AUTO TOPS AFFECTED

''If you see any automobiles running
around with white, cream colored or
khaki -colored tops a few months
hence they won't be Reos" said r. c..
Rueschaw, sales manager of the REQ
Motor Car Company.
1T has not occurred to most people
that the European war has effected the
automobile top situation" he contin-
ued. but l can assure YOU II has, and
most seriously.
We bumped into the condition just
recently when we began to consider
the plan of making 5000 extra cars
over the original schedule, In an ef-
fort to catch up with the demand
We had little difficulty in procur-
ing other materials. but when 1t came
To tops We found it was practically i'm
possible To procure any fast black
cloth suitable for that purpose. This
was due to the fact that we have al
ways procured our analinc dyes from
Germany, and now there is none avail
able
REQ purchasing power came to the
front as usual, however because, Just
as we were about to give up in de-
spair-for II we could not put fast
black tops on and have every detail
up to the REQ standard, we would not
make the extra cars at all-in walk ed
a man with the startling information
that he had discovered 10000 yards of
fast black top CLOTH"
