The Moore Automobile company,
which was organized in 1911 by: Thorn
as Moore, handled the.sFord car. ex-
clusively until last fall: when that
firm took over the distributing agen-
cy OF the REQ motors for the state Of
North Dakota and Northwestern Min

organization Of the company, Mr.. n.
G. Torrance was taken into the firm
on q partnership basis.

The REQ people have built a truck

Dakota. Is tar behind other a8ricul-

IN use. and MI. Moore predicts,a large
business in this limo in the future.
Prominent Ford Man
Manager Moore handled Ford cars
for several years before establishing
the company in Grand Forks and il
n of the Oldest Ford dealers in the
country. The growth Of the business
handled by the Moore Automobile
company is very satisfactory. The
firm has .branched out and is con-
nected with the Crookston Motorcom.

July Mr.. Torrance has been in Crooks
ton managing the business in that
city, as J. L. Gavin. the Crookston
manager, had entered the service.
Handle Tires.
The distribution of the Firestone
Automobile Tires is no small part Of
the business handled by this firm,
and a territory is covered in this line
that extends for rs miles east and
west Of Grand Forks and to the
Canadian border. This company was
the first in the city to receive a car
load shipment of tires when two
years ago they received two carloads
Of Firestone Tires to supply their ter
ritory.
The company recently installed the
only tire press in the city and one Of
the very few west Of the Twin Cities.
The machine is a 150-ton hydraulic
press used for the removal and re-
Of heavy truck tires which
have to be. put on and taken off by
pressure. .

"a What Of the auto industry! ~"
soon will it be back to its ola Das.a,
and what is the outlook likely 10 70
then?
Today the auto business. like many
other lines Of business. is in a state
Of transition from the works OF war
to the works of peace. This lnvoi'es

fairly we'll in this

All the manufacturers are age 10
get back to the making of cars. Ihey
see big prospects for marketing at
produce. There is a pronounced snort
OF passenger ears and motor
trucks. The demand is insistent not
only in this country but from the
foreign markets. The world can take
all the car America can furnish IN
the next three or five years.
In America there are today approx.
imately 5,000.0 900 cars. The normal
annual production Is about 1,70o,0oo.
In 1917, we made 1.737.131 passenger
cars Of a wholesale value of s1,O53,-
505.761, and 12S.157 commercial cars
of a wholesale value Of $220,9S2,66o.
Country Is Short 100000 Cars.
In 1913 the production was reduc-
ed 40 per cent owing to the shortage
of steel or the employment Of automo-
bile plants in war work. That means
there are today what may be called
a shortage Of o than 100000 cars
Add to that shortage the ever broad
ening use of the passenger car and the
motor truck and you get an idea OF
what the manufacturer sees in a rbus
mess way confronting him.
If they would make ~2,250,000 pass
enger cars this year they could dispose
of them. But they cannot make that
many. They nay build 100000:
That will mean they will 60 into 1920
with a bigger shortage than there is
today.
But 1920 should be a banner yea,
in the industry.
There is an insistent demand for
motor trucks. We made a large num-
Der for the transport service abroad
They were of great service. Never
were vehicles subjected to a greater
strain. Repairs were not considered
The needs were SO urgent that they
were kept going night and day until
they were worn u or nearly worn
out. 1t may seem extravagant TIC
say so but it is a fact that the wal
service used up motor trucks faster
than they could be produced.

CAR SHORTAGE TO
PREVAIL FOR SOME
MONTHS TO COME

With the factories going back to
production again, it will not be many
months before a limited number on
cars will be available. But 1t Is to
be expected that the present shortage
Of cars will prevail for some months
to ome
Prices are controlled by the two
factors of labor and material; both ar
in great demand. There has been no
decline in the cost and, consequently.
no decline of moment in the prices OF
cars, with but one or two exceptions.
Nor are there prospects for these to-
be for months to come.
France, Belgium, Roumania, Serbia
and many other devastated countries
have to be built. Steel and material
for reconstruction will be needed in
vast quantities. Labor will be at a
premium. There can be 10 u%nexpect-
ed change in conditions while the
fundamental need is there. Those
who want cars had better make their
choice now, as there will be positively
no further changes in either design.

Be Careful in Using c
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkaii, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle
The best thing to use is just plain null
sifed cocoanut oil, for it is pure and
entirely gfcaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoouful is all
that IS required. 1t makes an abundance
