Special Dispatch to The Star
DETROIT. April 15.-The payment
by the Ford Motor Company of s25.-
100000 Of notes is regarded as most
significant evidence of the recovery
of automotive industry. and sets at
rest a multitude of rumors about
Ford. 1t is understood that sales

cars for May production at the High

Other incidents tending to empha-
size the stability of the industry,
such as the ease with which Pack
ard Motor Company sold ten millions
of notes and the announcement that
Cadillac would not cut its prices dur
ing the year 1921. are augmenting
the feeling locally that the industry
is regaining strength and confidence.
Old Auto Models in Use.

which handles large bulk of auto
to the fact that automobiles now in
service are wearing out faster than
they are being produced.
This fact was evident from the large
number of old models which have
been brought into service since last
fall. Mr.. Manning states that his
company looks forward to 1922 as a
year of tremendous car purchases,
bat he does not look for a great re-
vival OF buying before year from
