Notices were placed i1i the Pone- nah Mills Saturday morning to the effect that ten per cent. raise would go into effect December 4th.

preparing their exhibits. Automobile
manufacturers do not permit their new

the winter shows and it is not possible
to predict at this time what Innovations

least two new low priced cars on the
market to compete with the present ma
chimes selling for less than $500 Com
