to only six per cent of the former sell

cost of materials and labor have ad.

the actual advance in the price and
the actual advance in costs is a pres

greater economies of manufacture
made possible by the new factory are
being passed along to buyers of our
cars.
"At SS75 the Grant Six remains
practically as big a bargain as it was
at 1926. Not a thing has been taken
out Of the car, not a detail has been
cheapened.
"The good faith of the factory is
evidenced by the short notice given
us dealers. Instead of announcing
the increase a long time ahead and
using it as a sales stimulant, the fac
tory has followed the opposite course
This fact must impress the public and
convince them that Grant policies
are always conservative and in alb

Other items of interest to Wy
oming contained in the sundry
civil bill are: An appropriation
of approximately a million dollars
for the Shoshone and Fort Lara
mic projects, $31,500 for a public

another at Basin, and $4,000 for
one at Cody. Other items were
for the Yellowstone Park roads

A special session of congress has
been called by President Wilson,
to meet today, and it is likely that
the various appropriations meas

at a peaceful settlement Of their

the privilege of unlimited debate,

THE GRANT SIX.
The Best Car Ever Built TO Sell at a
Popular Price.

The increase in the price Of the Grant
six from 1925 to 1915 effective March
lst was not a great surprise to dealers
says c. r. Tilton, local representative
of The Grant Six.
"Last fall when other manufactur.
ers started to raise prices, it was soon
apparent that the average increase
would be about 10 per sent Since
the labor and materials have steadily
advanced. On the face of things the
increase in the Grant Six price should
have been at least SIS, making the
price $500.
"But as everybody knows the new

of over 10000 cars has such excep.
