"Oh, Bah, you are so mistaken.
You are a superwoman. You are
too brainy and too frank. If you

Auto Prices Slump Here;
Most Agents Protected;
Used Cars Largest Loss

Substantial price slashing, cal
culated to bring smile of satis-
faction to the careworn physiog-
nomy of the prospective purchaser,
have been announced recently by
a number of Salem automobile
agencies. Many of the price cuts
amount to several hundred dollars
and are held to be indicative Of
the general downward trend Of
commodities. s'
The average dealer in Salem
will probably gain by the slump
in prices, and but few will lose
anything at all. Most of the deal
ers are protected by the factory
on their cars-that is, when a
lower price is announced, the deal
er is refunded the difference in
price on new cars ond the price
on those bought at the old price.
Loses Due.
A few dealers. however, are not
protected, 1t is std, and these will
suffer small loASes. A general
loss will probably be felt by the
garages on their used" cars. for
these will naturally be worth less
money following the prices des-
cent of new automobiles. Some
dealers also will be at slight loss
on their "demonstrator" cars, for
the factories do not make provi-
sions for these.
