call It. There Is a significant les

Now that motor car buying has
started again in appreciable
quantity. statesmen are likely to
notice a condition Of crumpled
tenders. tattered upholstery, and
worn paint in the cars that are
offered in exchange. But the
significant point is that motor

worn ragged and that buying Is
