Must Sell Used Cars, Too
The industry is also becoming in

must sell used cars as we'll as new

the American public of getting a new
motor car every two or three years
has developed a huge business in

of service left in them.
Used cars unfortunately have been
badly merchandised. and 1922 will be

mistakes and building new policies in

James |. Handley, n pioneer in the

outlook for 1922 was never more
promising.
THE motor car industry has Just
emerged from another Of those period

The critical period through which we
have passed has only served to show
how indispensable the automobile is
TO the American family. 1t is no
longer mystery, sold to a chant of
setting. Automobiles are bought and
sold like every other form Of trans
portation-on the luxury and comfort
they will bring and the endurance and
performance they will deliver.
"The industry has actually been put
on a firrler footing by violent com
petition, as this competition has meant
that cars had to be sold on their merit.

But eventually the day comes when
this dream car is within reach. and
his choice falls on one OF Americas S
fine cars.
"The production of fine cars has
been on the increase for long time,

A WORD OF COMMENTATOR


During the Revival meeting which
has been in progress at the Metho-
dist Church for the past two weeks,
Mr.. U. Walker, proprietor of the
New City Opera, has kept his place
closed. showing only one picture,
and that on a night when there was
no church.
This was certainly a most laud-
able action, one for which Mr.. Walk
err merits, and we are sure he will
receive, the hearty commentator and
generous support of the citizens, es-
pecially when it is remembered that
considerable financial sacrifice
was involved, for the films came
and had to be paid for just the
same as if they had been run.
While speaking of this matter it
might be we'll to add that no pic
ture man in the country is more
careful, concerning the nature and
quality of the films shown, than
Mr.. Walker.
He personally supervises the ex-
hibits and only the clean, high class
pictures are allowed on his screen.

be divided at a nominal price with
investors who are willing to put
many times the value of the land
in clearing, buildings, fences, trees,

any returns. It would be better to
give bona fide investors of this
kind small blocks of our land rather
than have them fail to come among
