Gasoline Goes Down

stations to find that the price of the
fluid that makes the old car go, had
dropped. Yep, one cent lower per
gallon. While this reduction does
not materially benefit the casual
driver, to those who employ cars
for commercial purposes, the lower
ing of the per gallon price will make
a noticeable difference. Though
there was no information given out
regarding the decline, 1t is generally
understood that since Henry Ford
reduced the price Of his cars, more
people will ride in flivvers, and in
cdentally more gasoline used. 1t is
expected that the extra amount of
gasoline consumed will more than
balance up the reduction.

poses, and that he is glad to get
back into the monument business,
