 When the armistice was signed. the Oakland was selling for s1525. A radi- cal reduction in price was announced few weeks after in the belief that prices of material and labor would be readjusted downward. Also the re- sumption of quantity production was planned.
 Subsequent events, however. have been to the contrary; labor has steadily advanced materials and production is far from normal and the future indi- cates a continuation of the presen. unfavorable conditions. The result is that automobiles are again on a stead fly increasing market and deliveries were never so difficult
 After many weeks of effort how ever. the Roper company succeeded in making arrangements for the 25-car shipment. Only a dozen of the cars remain unsold. The present low price will continue for an indefinite neriod only
 The opportunity afforded by the Roper company will last but matter of days. As soon as the present visible supply of the firm is disposed of. tic present offer will be withdrawn. c. C. Miller, sales manager Of the company announced yesterday afternoon.
