'ember these queStionnaireS have
been showing a steadily smaller
mount of available cash, and during
he earlier part of the summer thou
sands of them were returned show
ing $500 or less as the maximum
amount the would be farm buyers
had in hand for the first payment.
A little more than a month ago. how
ever, the average cash" item jumped
upward and has been increasing
steadily in size since that time.
"Of course the demand continues
Overwhelmingly for the low-price,
easy-payment farm because not less
than three quarters of it still comes
from men who literally are being
forced out of the cities and to the
farms by the industrial depression and
lack of employment" said Mr.. Strout,
but even these buyers seem to have
more money than they had few
months ago During the latter part
of 1920 and the early months of the
year. buyers with $1,000 to $4,000
cash were comparatively scarce. Our
men searched the country from end to
end to find the equipped farms that
could be bought for $1,000, $1,000 or
even $500 down. Our average sales
fell even below $1,000 each but the de-
mand was so great that our volume of
business during the first six months
of the year has been far greater than
ever before. Lack of employment
and the high cost Of living in the
cities is driving thousands of families
to the country where, on their own
farms, they can be sure Of shelter and
three square meals a day.
Shortly before the first of July we
began to notice the upward trend in
the amount of available cash shown
on our missionaries. Since that
time it has been increasing steadily
in amount and our July sales, which
were by far larger than ever before
made in a summer month, averaged
many hundred dollars higher than
the $500 sales made during the first
six months of the year."

service, so that a huctuation OF price
does not interest the owner who Is
getting satisfaction from his car But
he knows that II he wants a new car
he is going to pay out n certain amount
of money as the difference between his
car and the new car. and that sum OF
money is not affected by the price of
the new car Also, people are begin
ming to realize that in 1925 their 1921
new car is going to have just as big
a trade-in value whether it was bought
in January 1921 or in November 1921.
That is, u 1921 car will have certain
trade-in value in 1925, and a few
months service more or less will make
no difference. l believe that the un-
Outstanding of this is becoming moro
general, and as soon as a clear under
standing of these principles of auto
mobile merchandising is better UNDER
stood that no one will hesitate to buy
as soon as they can make the proper
financial arrangement.
The outstanding idea, which is well
known to those familiar with automo-
biles. is that the price does not make
a great deal of difference. A man who
buys an automobile never expects to
be without one, and his first invest
ment. after a fashion, pays his dues
in the big lodge and puts him in
position so that at any time thereaf-
ter when he wants to get new car he
is practically independent of the mar
ket.
Il look at the year 1921 as going to
be much like the year 1920 only in the
reverse order. That is, 1t is going to
start out slow and inish fast in con-
trast to 1920 starting fast and finish
ing slow. While our new car business
is not as heavy as in January 1920. our
used car business has very comfort
ably exceeded that done in the first
month of last year. being a little over
fifteen per cent greater. But the past
week in this month has shown a very
marked stimulation of new car business
in tho city. 1t can be expected that
the city, depending mainly on her in
dustries. will recover more quickly
from any depression than the country
districts where money comes in only
once a year. as contrasted with the
city's weekly or monthly payrolls.
AT the same time we must not for
get that Pueblo has never had any,
where near the depression that every
city of Like size has had and that Pu-
eblo will be and is doing good business
while some of the more unfortunate
communities are still in rather tigh,
circumstances. We are glad we are
doing business in Pueblo"
