is booming.
Practically every garage and ag-
ency in the city has reported rapid
increases in the number Of cars sold

general trend on the part of the pur-
chasers and prospective purchasers
is to wait for delivery rather than
purchase another make of car.
Practically every dealer in the
city reports a large volume of IN
filled orders and the purchasers in
many instances have been content u
wait even until next spring for de-
livery of the car of their choice.

of the world, very few automobile"
were purchased, the buying public
having invested heavily in Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamp
with view to doing their bit in end

a successful conclusion however.
people have started buying, and the
several dealers of the city are prac-
tically swamped with orders, that
