Here's The Letter

War conditions have been MAX
ing it more and more necessary to
conserve piano stock. Labor con-
ditions ere so Unsatisfactory in the
manufacturing district and mate,
rial is so scarce, the output of the
factories is bound to be only
small proportion of what it has
been; in fact, you can readily see
how true this is when we tell you
that the government will only give
the industry steel enough for one
third Of last years output. This
means curtailment of &C % per
cent, and this steel supply is only
guaranteed for six months-after
that we do not know what the con-
ditions may be.
Another thing is the matter of
prices. Goods have gone up ire
mendously in price and probably
will advance much farther. There
is a large demand for our pianos,
even at the advanced prices. In
many instances we will not be able
to fill the agents orders direct
from the factories, which will
mean loss of business to us at the
new prices. This being the case,
it will be necessary for us to adj
vance the prices even of the goods
out on consignment, as the market
value of these goods has gone up
with the others, and we cannot be
expected, while having to decline
orders for goods at the new
prices. to leave goods consigned at
former prices with the agents.
However, in order to give the
agent a chance to turn his stock.
we have decided to give him 80
days notice before re- billing the
goods out on consignment prices,
at the new figures. During this
80 days any goods sold or con-
tracted for by you will be settled
for at the old prices at which they
were billed to you when shipped.
but after 80 days they will all be
re-billed to You and must be SET
tied for at the new prevailing
prices.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April "a.
Sharp curtailment of pleasure
car production is expected shortly
as a result of a conference of all

was agreed to some time ago, but
officials now believe that this will

Kennedy and Schnack both be-

respond to this appeal" said Mr..
Schnack. Its a worthy cause
and our old tires will surely find
a place to the Red Cross salvage

.STUDEBAKER
DELIVERIES
FOR UTILITY

The Studebaker delivery car
and one-ton truck exactly suits
conditions in the delivery field
where half-ton and ton loads are
the most frequently encountered,
says 7. w. Little, of the Little &
Kennedy Co.
Utility is the standard set by
them, he says, pointing to the fact
that these cars were designed to
suite the very purpose for which
they are bought.
They are not transformed pleas
ure cars, too light to stand the
gaff, nor are they made too heavy
to be nimble and quick.
The Studebaker one-ton truck
has the useful four-cylinder en-
CINE which has shown its RELIABLE
ity for years" says Little. at
has the Wagner starting and light
ing system which is well nigh in
fallible. 1t has the Pierce COVER
nor which keeps the speed down
to 20 miles, which makes for
safety and long wear. Further
more, it has pneumatic tires
which means that eggs may be
hauled as safely as pig iron.
Each day the uses of truck
become broader. Firms are using
them now that never thought of
them even a year ago. The truck
owner may take his choice be-
tween the half-ton delivery car
with its greater range of speed or
the heavier truck made to serve
in another field. Another ad-
vantage Studebaker buyer has is
that he gets his truck complete"

that when an American squadron
consisting Of the U. S. S. Delaware,
New York and Wyoming, with de-
stroyers and other craft, came up
the Firth, the British flagship Sig
nailed to them:
But the Americans passed un-
der the bridge and sailed on.
Shortly the British admiral made
another signal:
I'VE signaled just now that you
were TO anchor west of the Forth
bridge; why don't you stop"
And the American flagship i'm
mediately signaled the reply:

Reasons For
