Saxon "Six" Prices VIII
Increase January First

One of the most recent among motor
car companies 10 announce an increase
in price is the Saxon Motor Car Cor
poration. which has come to the front
with q $50 advance over their former
price of $S15-this to take effect jan
uary l.
This rise in price has been predicted
for some months. Practically all of
the other cars have announced higher
prices to meet soaring labor and ma
terial costs. And it was known that
the Saxon company, in view of their
high quality standards would be
forced to fall in line soon. Prices of
materials entering into the construc-
ton of automobiles have experienced
as great, if not greater, rises than
have other commodities.
The same high quality standard of
the Saxon Motor Car Corporation as
adhered to in the past will be main
president and general manager.
ITO cover the increased cost of
labor and material the price must be
advanced $50. Due to the making
of foresighted contracts, we have been
able to hold off this inevitable advance
until January /. There is really no
need for commenting on the increase
which various materials have expert
enced. There is not one article that
enters into the construction and dis
tribution of automobiles which has not
materially advanced in the past year.
I'VE are producing a better car
than formerly, in the face of vastly
increased costs, with Lut a slight in
crease in price to the public. BY
more efficient production methods and
the elimination of all waste material
and labor we have solved the prob
lem of putting Saxon value into our
cars without making the public bear
the burden"

LEMASTERS BANK
AFFAIRS IMPROVE
Now Believed That Stockhold-
ers Will Not Lose by Cashier
Myers Mismanagement

McConnellSburg, Pa, Dec. lin
ssrviews with Enos ID. Myers, cashier
of the Lemasters National Bank, and
John P. Sipes, president of the McCon-
nellsburg and Fort Loudon Railroad,
put new light on the crash of the Le-
masters bank last Monday. The activi-
ties of Clyde e. Coon, promoter of the
new railroad proposition, were brought
out more fully.
The present whereabouts of Coon
is not known here. Large loans, ad-
Vanced to Coon by Myers, the bank
cashier. who was also treasurer of the
railroad enterprise promoted by Coon,
are said to have brought about the
crash of the institution.
Cashier Myers, who, with his wife,
made a deed of assignment of prop
erty, including two farms in Helers
township, all valued at about $4,000,
to the bank, declares he thinks Coon
may drop in any time with the
money he borrowed.
Wealthy residents of Lemasters and
vicinity who are heavily interested in
the bank are known to be averse to
publicity or prosecutions in the case.
Most of them are River Brethren,
OulhafuS or AennOnlteS.
ON Friday another $1,000 note
signed by Myers came to the surface
at the bank. Myers is said to have
told friends that when he became
treasurer of the MCConnellsburg and
Fort Loudon Railroad he was warned
by the bank directors and other friends
not to give the road promoters any
money from the bank.
The much-talked-o draft, Myers is
alleged TO have said, was on the Shoe
and Leather Bank. of New York, for
$4,000, signed by Morrison & Co, and
was stamped in red ink Payable
after October 81, 1916" Nobody about
the bank knew of this draft up until
the time Myers called the board to-
gether and told them all that had
transpired

exclusive Federal control would not

we have put on the railroads such
restrictions that investors are no
longer giving the railroads the where

mands OF business" said Mr.. VAN

gle in such a condition we will go
under.

toward government ownership. If we
are going. we are going toward a ma

In Washington about the possibility

subjected to involuntary servitude.
You cannot subject a dollar to invol-
