 If next years output of automotive products shows a corresponding in crease over this years-and there is no reason for assuming that it will outrank even steel, it is claimed.
 Automobile manufacturers agree that the biggest buyer of motor cars this year will be the farmer of the middle west and south. Wheat and cotton prices are reflected in the wealth of the rural prospect of cars, motor trucks and tractors While the city man has been the Tive wire buyer" in the past automobile merchandisers feel that he is losing this distinction to the farmer this year.
 The age of the motor truck is at hand, according to manufacturers, who assert that prospects were never brighter than they have been since this carrier has demonstrated it's superiority over the horse during the last three months.

ONE REPAIR MAN FOR
 FLEET OF 31 TRUCKS

Sam Davis, big coal dealer of Toledo, shows what can be done in holding down maintenance costs oIi motor trucks by maintaining fleet of 31 Republic trucks with only once repair man.
 These trucks are nearly all of three and one half ton capacity, being the standard Republic chassis fitted with dump bodies, and they are given the usual hard work that falls to a truck used in hauling coal.
 Discussing these trucks Mir. Davis says; The new models 19 and 20, in my opinion, are the best trucks on the market and cannot be duplicated These trucks operate every day and are not laid up for repairs. We have only one repair man for our entire fleet of trucks. We watch our oilins and greasing and do not have much trouble"

Testing Your Wheels For Alignment Will
 Save Wear on Tires

Ed Ollsen, with the Fulenwider Auto Supply Co, says you cannot have your wheels tested for align ment too often.
 This is a minor adjustment which takes only a few minutes and costs nothing, but, at the same time is credited with sending more tires to the junk pile prematurely than any other factor.
 Drop in on any legitimate tire man in town and you will find him only too glad, regardless of the make of your tire, to make the necessary ad- justment and thereby prolong the life of your tire.

NEW YORK--F'oreign politics dur
Ing the past few days have afforded
more OF interest on this side of the At
lnntic than on the other. The Admin
istration's letter protesting against var
ious unfair policies on the part of the
Mexican government affecting the ope-
rations of American concerns. has
been of very considerable importance
and if followed up should furnish re-
lief from conditions which have seem
ed to be almost intoierable. Meantime
in Europe the most important econ
omic factor In the situation has been
the strike of italian workmen, which,
although represented at the start as
Bolshevik demonstration, appears
upon closer analysis TO be merely a
new form of lockout in which the la
Dor forces are the aggressive element.
on the Polish front conditions have
continued much the same with the
Russians apparently losing ground Mt
every important point. Politically the
most important development of the
recent past. so far as the United States
is concerned, has seemed to be the
revision of the Washington Govern
ments attitude, as result of which
assent is given TO the advance of the
Poles, under military necessity, be-
yond their so-called 'ethnic' frontier.
Foreign Claims to United States
An interesting feature of the Polish
situation has been the plain statement
on the part of the Minister of Fin
ance. as quoted in dispatches. to the
effect that the United States. unless
it is disposed to lose the whole $l6s.-
600. 900 it has already advanced to Po-
land, will have to make up its mind to
the furnishing of continuous support.

obligations as they fall due. The aues-
ton of the United States and its for
eign debtors is still open and may cali
for settlement at any early date in
view of the very large balance of in
debtedness now unfunded and being
carried upon the books of American
business men and bankers who are
creditors of foreign banks and COM
mercial houses.
Industrial Improvements
Industrial improvement already not
ed in recent weeks has continued dur
ing the past week. Price reductions
have not been checked and the Brit
ish index number just made availabl
for the past month shows somewhat
parallel decline. 1t would seem prob
able that industry and business would
have to pass through a period of fur
ther readjustment to price conditions
If they are to succeed in restoring
themselves to a normal basis of ope-
rations Meanwhile, however, in many
sections and branches of industry this
process of Improvement is making dis
tinct progress with better employment
conditions as a result of larger output.
Action of the American Woolen Co
in announcing a price cut of 10 to %
per cent is regarded as showing abil-
tty to readjust to meet conditions and
was followed by higher quotations for
the stock. The coal situation is prop

Meanwhile a different attitude has
been evinced by the French Govern
ment, which, in meeting its obliga-
tions to investors in the United states
has. as remarked last week, arranged
for the shipment OF some $1,000, 600
to this country in case of necessity
while 1t has this week issued a refund
ing load of $100. zoe, 900 at per cent
Interest subject to retirement provi-
sions of n satisfactory nature. This
attractive rate OF interest, coupled with
the evidence showing that genuine
economic recovery Is taking place in
France. undoubtedly made this loan
appeal strongly to the average investor
particularly to those investors who
tcrmerly took up the Anglo French
bonds and who thus had a chance of
refunding them on favorable terms
The new loan was oversubscribed al
most before the books were fairly
opened. Eight per cent is rather
high rate for a bond OF this character
and emphasizes the abnormal condi-
tions that are existing in the invest
ment market. On the other hand, the
general prospects of placing very large
foreign loans in the United States is
not now considered good and the re-
payment OF interest obligations due
in this country will depend largely
upon the ability of these countries to
ship goods to the United States. While
this ability is rapidly increasing in
most foreign countries notably in
Great Britain. the adoption of very
high tariff policy in this country. such
as has been under discussion for some
time past. would assist in the import
alton of such goods in quantity suffi-
cient to provide means of settling the

For tire making is chiefly a mat

All men know Brunswick stand

been famous for "a years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce

matter of expense. And these vari-

most difficult element in the whole
busines situation. While there has
been during the week slight i'm
provement in the time money market.
the supply of funds being a little bet

lower, the alteration of conditions has
been very limited and there are as yet
no decisive indications of an early
transformation of the market. The

to keep the quotations of sterling.
francs and probably some other coun-
tries more nearly steady than they
otherwise would have been and this
condition may continue during the
time that the new loan is in process
of flotation What will occur after
that date will depend largely upon the
extent to which the investor in the
United States finds himself able and
willing to purchase foreign securities
and in that way to fund" outstanding
unsettled obligations of European
countries which hitherto have not
found acceptance in the general in
vestment market.

The Whole Secret Of
A Better Tire
Simply a Matter of the Makers Policies

To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then il is a matter Of combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards
Once you try a Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other Ilse-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize tsaat you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruins
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll .
agree, gives SO much for your
money.

completion of the chemical merger
during the past few days and the an
nouncement of its plan has tended to
stimulate interest in this group Of
shares. Sugar stocks have also shown
some recovery from the point to which
they have been reduced as a result of
pressure some time ago. Metals have
held their own well during the recent
past, and have shown a tendency to
increase. The general outlook con-
tinues to show improvement. With
the good things in store for the rail-
roads it is small wonder that the pub
lie should at last turn their attention
to the rails. Many of these stocks

have already scored considerable gains
but there is still room for further adj
vances based on merit and on the fact
that the floating supply is at no time
large. While eventually, no doubt, the
better class OF Industrial securities will
also work higher class of industrial
securities will also work higher based
on merit, the oft. repeated statement
that the credit situation is not all that

indication that it is still wise to be
