Exports which Spain wanted and

mot only were automobile manufact-
urers quick to adapt themselves to the
economic changes brought on by the

TO war work was one of the best things
that could have happened to u.s." Mr..
kueschaw continues. at not only
made it possible for US to hold our or
ganzation intact, but moved with the
common spirit Of doing their best to
win the war, every man drew nearer
to us and his fellows, until we now
have II more closely knit body than
ever before
Then, too, working day in, day out,
under the eXactng requirements of the
strictest kind of government inspec-
ton, our men have learned to do better
work than even they thought them
selves capable of Certainly this i'm
provement shows itself plainly in the
cars we arc now building. The boys
haven't forgotten how to do good work
with the changes in the automobile
manufacturing programme, mentioned
above, somewhat unsettled market
is inevitable, and most manufacturers
are now more interested in stabilizing
the market than in immediate profits
In our case we are reducing our prices
to pre-war basis, sacrificing our
profit, in order to help steady the stu
alton against the time when values
again settle down to normal level.
That this situation, where we find
ourselves in a position to offer our reg
ular product at prices far below nor
NAL, is the buyers greatest opportu-
nifty goes without saying And it should
be equally apparent that this condition
is bound to be of short duration.
THE automobile industry as a whole
is about million cars behind in its
production which, coupled with the
prospect Of an almost unprecedented
demand foreseen for spring, makes a
serious car shortage practically GER
tain. In addition to such a shortage
the market will naturally steady itself
as time goes on concludes Mr.. Rue
schaw, $50 any later price changes will
probably be upward. Therefor, the

Better Days Are Here

Row Brighter, Says Poertner

Conditions on automobile row are
becoming brighter every day" says
William c. Poertner, president Of the
Poertner Motor Car Company, Inc "Since
we announced our exhibition of closed
models of National and Scripps- Booth
cars our salesrooms have been filled
with buyers who heretofore have re-
trained from buying cars becaust they
thought 1t unpatriotic to purchase a
new car IN wartime when the old one
would answer the purpose.
"A number of the dealers are pro-
pairing for big holiday business and
great many are displaying closed
car types The National and Scrirps-
Booth closed cars are an example of
what the manufacturers are turning
OUT as the very latest product from the
factories. There will not be very many
novelties in the 1919 models until
ta1er IN the year, if then, due to the
TACT that the makers are busy turning
oue cars to meet the immediate de-
mahds OF the public"
