Am I glad that I'm selling cars In

announced Lou Arcns Of the Cheyro-
lot agency yesterday afternoon when
asked about his trip TO Lake county.
The rest Of these boys who are In
the car or the garage game, can be
delighted that their establishments
are located here and not In Lake
county at present, for financial con-
ditions make it impossible for the
farmers TO buy anything. even while
exceptional crops arc their lot this
fall Sheepmen are holding the sack
while the cattlemen are a little better
off owing to borrowing less money
at the bank. Very few cars OF any
make are being sold In Lake county
today and do not anticipate any
volume Of business until next har-
vest In the car or truck line. Most Of
the cars are traded in on long terms
by outside traders"
What about the Chevrolet sales?
Well. the prospects look better. The
farmers are buying only cars which
will produce results. while those
who heretofore bought high-prlced
cars are sacrificing personal desires
for satisfactory: economical. busin-
css-Iike transportation. Economy IN
the watchword both In klamath and
Lake counties today and for that
reason. the Chevrolet Is growing In
demand as II meets up with the re-
quIrement.
"The 1922 Chevrolet cars have
new diffcrentiai which will make at
least 100 per cent Improvement over
past models. The operation will be
