bouquets at ourselves, we feel we de-
serve the fullest cooperation. We are

above any such expenses for previous
local automobile exhibitions. All this in
spite of the duh period, real low gear
drag, for the past few months. 1t shows
the auto men have confidence In the fu

business stimulus. and the presence of
