TIRE PRICES LOW,
 SAYS R. MURRAY


 Robert Murray of the Murray Tire and Oil company is of the opinion that tire prices are certainly upon rock bottom and that the next few weeks will likely witness an upward turn.
 50 confident am l." said MT. Mur- ray, that the present frmness and big demand for automobile tires is likely to result in an upward price movement. that I am advising all my dealers to stock up to capacity at present prices and thus forestall a possible advance. This advance is not only possible but probable, es- pecially in view of the fact that the motoring season Is just getting under way and the great increase in the number of cars on the road will re- suit in a still greater demand for tires My advice to every motor car owner is that he fill his tire require ments at present prices for certainly there is no possibility of lower prices"

 GASOLINE MARKET
Woco Pep Will Not Reduce Prices at Present, Says
 President Wofford

In view of the recent cut in prices of a grade of gasoline. G. T. Wofford, president of the Wofford oil com pany largest independent jobber of motor fuel in this district, yesterday issued the following statement:
 There has been no market de- clines on gasoline, but, on the con- trary. markets have been steadily ad- vancing at the refineries for the last SO days, and a good grade of motor gasoline cannot be laid down in Bir- mingham today in tank cars. f. o. b side tracks, for less than 1s24 cents per gallen. The cost of marketing gasoline after 1t reaches q side track is not less than three cents per gall lon, and unless large volume is se- cured the cost will run around AZ cents per gallon; therefore, any con- cern who is selling a good grade of motor gasoline at less than 22 cents per gallon cannot break even.
 We have always met any legiti- mate reduction of price, based on market decline. passing any saving on to the consumer. But in this in stance, when the price cut Is confined only to the Birmingham district, we shall not reduce the price of Woco Pep motor fuel"

Pat terson, branch manager with head quarters at Atlanta. are in Btrming ham for the week and are looking over affairs around at Cruse Craw- fords, who have been selling Over londs and Willys- Knight cars at such a rapid rate since the recent price decline.
 MT. Wright who comes here from Atlanta says that just before leav- ing that city. the Atlanta branch re- ceived more orders than it had for any one day in two years. He also says that the shipments out of Toledo to Atlanta exceed those to any other district except one.
 Tom Turrentine, local sales man ager was not to be outdone by these glowing accounts and so clipped in with the remark that Cruse Craw- ford had been making some records themselves and had far exceeded any other sales records of Overlands and Knights. since these cars had had representation here.

BUYERS SETTLE
 PRICE QUESTION
Peerless Dealer Says Real Value of Motor Car Lies in
 Its Continuous Service

"one of the most remarkable phe- nomena I have encountered in the motor car business is the prevalent impression that the price of the Peer less car is nearly twice what 1t ac- tually is," said Perry Mccormack, president and general manager of Mccormack Bros. Motor company.
 T do not know of anything that would more clearly betoken the repu- tation which the ear enjoys, but, nat urally, it has given us great pleasure to acquaint the public with the facts.
 "I believe that the time has come when buyers of hign grade motor cars will settle the price question for themselves, because they know that the selling price is not conclu- sive evidence of the quality of engi- neering or the length of uninter- rupted service which The car will render to it's owner.
 They are aware, of course. that a selling price does indicate a basis of cost for producing any merchandise. but they are also acquainted with many instances of the fact that often an inferior article actually costs more to produce than good article in the same line.
 T say that the price question will be settled by the buyers. because, now more than at any other time in the history of the automobile busi- ness, buyers are seeking investment value
 They realize that this value is never established by price: that 1t is the result, on contrary, of years of ! skillful co-ordinatfon of purchasing. 1 designing, manufacturing. selling and servicng; and that a reputation for value is earned only by the unvarylng service of the product over q long period.
 They will, therefore. seek for value in performance, and they will pay for an automobile the price which it's reputation for performance justifies."
