fall AUTO BUYERS
TO get CARS EARLY
Heavy Orders Make Immediate De-
livery Impossible. Say Dealers.

Ordinarily there are very good reasons
why the average purchaser of a motor
car should buy IN the spring, rather
than IN the late fall or winter. But
this year these arguments are far out
weighed by those In favor Of a speedy
purchase, or at least q prompt order
for q car. And perhaps the most potent
reason that can be advocated for the
buy now" plan Is that II the prospec-
tive purchaser waits until the spring
riding season is at hand he may not be
able to get . car.
There Is no doubt. from the way
buying has continued all through
November and SO far into December,
that the factories are In for another
winter of steady production and as
steady distribution. without the possi-
bility OF laying up any considerable
reserve supply. This means that the
dealers are disposing of the cars as
rapidly as they can get them. and that
they will have no surplus cars on
hand three months from now.
Another very important factor Is
the transportation situation. Every
body who bought a car last spring
remembers the vexatious delays that
were caused by the inability of the
railroads to forward motor cars from
the factories to Washington, how
they had to wait for weeks and weeks
after the expected delivery date, and
how. In some cases they finally gave
up hope and. took back their deposit
money.
This condition In an aggravated form
promises to prevail this winter. AL
ready there is a great shortage of
freight cars in Detroit and other au-
tomobile centers and manufacturers
are shipping on flat cars or anything
else they can obtain. It is said that
at present there are in Detroit alone
100000 worth of motor cars await
ing the 400 freight cars needed to
move them. Automobile cars are very
scarce indeed because they are not be-
ing returned promptly to their home
roads, but are being used for other
commodities. The Automobile Cham
Der OF Commerce. the national organ
ization OF motor cars makers, Is work
ing on the situation. but has given
warning that worse conditions may
be expected as soon as the weather
gets bad and the railroads are ham
pered by ice and snow.
Freight embargoes may be expected
and other annoying delays. The OBJ
vtous remedy is to buy a car now. for
the dealers are able to give reasonably
prompt deliveries on almost all models
And II 1t is not convenient actually
to buy, wise precaution Is to place
an order for delivery in the spring
The dealer Is honor bound to supply
cars for those who have placed ad-
vance orders and they will have prece-
dence over later purchasers.
An illustration of the condition is
afforded by one of the largest of the
local motor car dealers. This COM
pany has been urging its customers to
place their orders early. and already
il sold out on deHvertes for certain
dates in next April. Last year 1t was
obliged to return deposits to late buy
ers, and the situation now indicates
that those who put off ordering too
long will be worse of in the spring
than they were last year.

swiftly that by the time we followed

over the drunken clamor and was on
his way forward to close the forecas-
