wave which the winds of renewed
business activity is piling I'D.
The public is seeking reasonable
priced goods but it has learned
thoroughly the difference between
cheap goods and buying goods
cheap. It can no longer be deceived
into doing the former but it is per-
fectly willing to do the latter.
Most of the price advances in
prospect reflect increase in demand
for materials in which supply has
not kept pace. Supply of raw wool
in this country, according to the
wooden manufacturers, will be
totally inadequate to supply the de-
mand. The tariff provisions in
prospect will check the import of
competing clips. Prices for wooden
goods for fall therefore have been
advanced. A similar revision is
plainly forecast for worsteds.

New York. April 15.-Prices of
many commodities are due to go
higher but the advances probab bly,
will be neither spectacular or ex-
cessive. The upward tendency has
been confirmed by the recent an
nouncement of advance in the
prices of wooden goods for fall by
the American Wooden company, the
advance in steel prices which in
volved both the independent and the
leading interests and the wide
spread increase in gasoline prices
throughout the country. These
commodities are straws which show
the way the wind is blowing and
the trend has been confirmed by
business dispatches from widely
scattered sections received within
the last "a hours.
But the improvement in business
and financial conditions, marked
though it may be, gives no indica-
ton of excessive imitation. What
mer chants, manufacturers and pro-
ducers want is customers. Buying
power has increased but willing

is probable that a terrific counter
influence will be aroused to enforce
the settlement OF the controversy.
Lumber prices also seemed des-

ness in the northwest is exceeding

The New Jewett Light Six is now on
exhibition in our show rooms.
To you, and everyone who is interested
in motor cars, we extend very cordial
invitation to see this car and arrange for
a demonstration.
And we do not hesitate to say in advance
that you are going to be surprised, delighted
and not little nystif1ed
You are going to be surprised because the
Jewett is all that you have imagined-and
great deal more.
You are going to be delighted because it
is the very car that you have hoped for
and waited for-these many years.
You are going to be mystifed because you
will, for the first time, view fine quality six
at the price of four.
To produce this car and sell it for 1905,
t. o. b. Detroit has required years of study
and all the ingenuity and resources of the
Paige Engineering staff.
Itwou1d have been simple matter to COM
promise on four cylinder construction and
thus achieve a popular price. But mere price
was not the aim and the Four can no longer
be considered in terms Of fine engineering
This is the day of six cylinders because the
six is an inherently balanced mechanism
The natural balance and overlapping power
impulses mean, smooth, even, vibration
less riding qualities.
These, in turn, mean maximum economy
