sympathy and pay a last tribute to
the Mossman family.

the father and little son, was taken
! from the church to be taken to the
Lakeview cemetery. hardly dry eye
was to be seen. The line of autos
which followed the Mossman family

half down Main street.

MARCH BIG MONTH IN
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
Best Similar Period Since Au-
gust, 1920.

March was the best month that the
automobile industry has had since Au-
gust, 1920. according to present esti-
mates. says Automotive Industries. De-
tailed figures are not available. that
journal points out, but practically all
large producers turned out more motor
vehicles than In any other month in
year and half.
This applies to all branches OF the
industry" the paper says. Passenger
car output for the first quarter ran far
ahead of the same period In 1921. The
first quarter of 1920 was the largest the
industry ever had. Truck production In
the first three months Of this year gained
even more in comparison with the open
ing quarter of 1921. Dealers in all Sec
tions of the country report better busi-
ness. A large number Of them frankly
express surprise at the volume OF their
sales. Factories turning out more popu-
lar makes OF cars are having difficulty
in keeping abreast Of orders and no large
surplus is being built up in anticipation
of increased demand"
