PRICES OF ALL
BUT TWO MAKES
ARE HIGHER NOW.

!. !. !. !. = j. = !. !. !. !. !. !. !. 1:
The trend of the times in the au-
tomobile world-as in nearly every
thing else-is toward higher prices,
and it may be interesting to auto
mobile owners and prospective own
ers to note the fact that all of the
leading makes Of cars have been ad-
vanced in price from $50 to 800,
and even more, except the Dodge
and the Ford. Whether these will
be advanced or not, and if they will,
when the increase will be tackled
on, is something nobody knows to-
day. They occupy the unique posi-
ton now, however, of being the only
leading cars whose manufacturers
have been able to maintain the old
prices in the face of the greatly in
creased cost of materials.

Is more cars in the period from last
August to date than it did during
the similar period a year ago.
The popularity of the enclosed or
winter cars introduced this year by
practically all of the leading manu-
facturers, has been a big factor in
developing the all-year-round de-
mand and use for automobiles, while
the many improvements in the auto
mobiles themselves have enabled au-
toists to use them in all seasons, in
stead of merely during the spring
and summer months, as was the case
in the early years of the business.
