The sales were a bit slow for a time,
but they are picking up now, and July
promises to be good month for the
dealers in cars and accessories.
There will be no difficulty in secur-
ing all the motor trucks necessary for
the new army which is to be raised.
This was demonstrated by the fact
that the 10 truck makers who submit
ted bids to the government at Chicago
pledged that they could produce over
100000 trucks within a year, whereas
it is 'unofficially estimated that not
over $4,000 trucks will be required for
the first army of 1000. 600 men.
