Engine for

Admirers of the Owen Magnetic
found last night at the show that in

noticeably improved and refined. Not
only has a more powerful engine been
substituted but the body lines have
been made more graceful and attrac

its valvein-head engine, its 142-nch
wheelbase and it's new bodies, is GER

Ernest S. Partridge, local manager.
"The Owen Magnetic is now on exhibi-

makers have placed on view a car that
has commanded the attention of the
critical buyers, and it's growth in popu
larity is evidenced by the increasing
numbers to be seen on the streets.
Confronted by Shortage
"I cannot help but feel that we will
have easy sailing this year in disposing
Of our allotment. We are taking with
as good grace as possible the shortage
that confronts US and other dealers on

are turning out for the government.
There is no other reason for shortage
we could approve half so quickly, for
we motor men are ready 10 sucriice
to help win the war.
"There is no doubt in my mind that
this will be year of early orders. The
public realizes the great part the auto
mobile industry is playing in furnish
