"Juding from the demand for Firestone
tires l cannot see Just how they figure
that the present price of gasoline is
causing any one to lay up their machine
Right now our factory is running twenty
four hours a day and not able to keep
fact that last year we completed large
addition" so said J. J. Haas, manager Of
the local branch Of the Firestone Tire
and Rubber Company. who returned yes
terday from a visit to the factory at
Akron. Ohio.
A trip up the Hudson River. then into
the White Mountains and as far north
as Portland. Maine is the journey that
W.
man, starts on tomorrow. He expects to
be gone between two and three weeks
For the convenience OF his family rid
ing in the tonneau OF his Stearns he
has had a speedometer attached to the
back OF the front seat.
"Bill' Jose. ardent disciple of Isaac
Walton. is having a hard time consol-
ing himself these days. Both muddy and
high water in the Potomac are keeping
him from visiting his favorite spot on
the upper river and trying his luck az
Rock fishing.
George Simpson Is another seeker after
the elusive members of the finny tribe
He is bemoaning the present condition
Of the river. To quote him, every day
the water is muddy right now means one
day less that we will have to land the
big fellows
The man today who has a second
hand car to trade in as part of the
purchase price of a new machine is "out
of luck" Most every dealer looks ask
ance at making deals for cars right now.
There are plenty of prospects for the
few cars that can be procured from the
factory who are willing to make out
and out purchases. The dealer argues
why take in car and have to make
two sales to complete one transa ction
when II can all be done "at one sitting"
Good secondhand machines are not a
drug on the market by any means for
there are a large number of prospective
automobile owners who cannot afford to
pay the price of a new machine but
who have sufficient means to buy a good
used car. The dealer on his part though
does not wish to have to spend time
trying to find these people to dispose of
the car he has made an allowance on
when he can sell to a man who has
nothing to trade. Just at this time of
year too, secondhand values are very
fluctuating. 1t will not be so very long
until some of the announcements for
next year will appear and until they are
made public no one can say tust what
any manufacturer is going to have to
offer and the amount that can be al
lowed FOR his used car depends mostly on
this point
