Commercial Research Expert
Sees Struggle For Supre-

A coming struggle for sJpremac y.

voiced the opinion that ultimately
there would not be more than 25

Rod Of retrenchment does come,
the manufacturer who has built
something into his car that the
other fellow hasn't, who has built
a quality product that Is recognized
as such by the public generally will
not suffer"
Advertising StabiIizes-
Mr. Parlin called attention 10 the
stabilizing effect that advertising has
had on the automotive field, making
the selling Of automobiles an all
year round proposition, whereas
only a comparatively short time ago
practically all sales were confined
10 the spring and fall months. This
has enabled the manufacturer" said
Mr.. Parlin. Ito keep up a steady
