BY WILLIAM +. HEYFERNAN.

NEW YORK. October II.-Profes-
sional operators were. active in to-
days dealings on the curb market,
while public participation was again
limited. The former element tried its
hand on the short side of Durant of
Delaware and was successful in
breaking the stock over three points
to a new low for the year. 1t has been
noticeable for several days that those
working for lower prices were taking
advantage of the unfavorable points
in the automobile situation.
When II was realized that IL took
comparatively little selling to bring
about a decline of points, opera
tions on the short side were renewed
and Durant broke more than points
from last weeks close. Then in the
afternoon when traders started to
cover their short contracts the stock
rallied as easily as 1t had come down.

models at an automobile show, and
| while they have been in the hands
Of the dealers for several weeks,
they are new to the majority OF au-
tomoble buyers.
| All the models are equipped with
| Fisher-built bodies. The sedan and
coupe are trimmed in striped We
lours, and include closed car -ap'
pointments usually seen only on
much higher priced cars. The Cah
| is trimmed In velour and the car
is especially suited for the salesman
| and business man.
The bodies Of all the cars are
mounted on the standard Oldsmohile
six-cylinder chassis OF 40 inch
wheel base, and are Of all steel
panel construction.
The sedan is OF the fIve-passenger
| type with plenty Of leg room In both
| the front and rear compartments
Equipment includes a double ven

but there is proof a-plenty In the
vast number of neglected cars thut

there is no harm in making q habit

BUYERS Of AUTO
BREAK ALL
RECORDS
Trade Association Here Gives
Statistics-owners Now
Partners of Makers.

That the motorist is a partner
IN the automobile business to an
extent where the future progress
of the motor car is largely in his
own hands, is the opinion Of of
ficiaIs OF the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association, which
is erdeavoring to acquaint the mo-
toring public with the importance
Of its position in the automotive
scheme Of things.
"The future holds greater posi-
bilities than one dares to prophesy. .
declares Paul B. Lum, vice presi'
dent OF the organization, "but this
future is directly dependent upon
the continued support of the mo
torist.
eff he takes advantage Of the
great values which the manufac'
furers are offering today there is
no telling what dividends he will
be in a position to reap in the near
future.
Support by Public.
Through quantity production,
made possible through efficient
nanagement and support of the
buying public, cars OF every grade
are being offered at prices lower
than at any time since the auto
mobile sprang into genuine popu-
larity. But it is not generally
known that q continuation of the
benefits of this process depends
upon the willingness of the public
to buy what is being offered today
rather than wait for what will
never be offered them If continua-
ton of quantity production methods
Is not possible"
Mr.. Lum points out, however,
that the 1924 models now being
offered are sufficiently attractive
to encourage the motorist auto
naticalIy to trade in his old car
and keep abreast Of the times, but
Il Is highly important to recognize
the fact that rnder modern methods
Of production it is buying that
makes for betterment.
Buyers Break Records.
''The present year." he says, "has
been the greatest buying era in the
history of the automobile, and. as a
glance into the past will show, the
buying has resulted in a greater
number of improvements for 1924
than at any other time, and at an
average reduction in price.
"In other words. the American
car owner is constantly being offered
better automobiles at lower prices,
knowing that. in addition to the
actual direct benefits he derives
from driving the latest products,
his buying automatically paves the
way for still better cars at lower
prices in the future.
Were it not. for the extent of the
buying of motor cars, each car
owner would be obliged tor pay a
great deal more for less desirable
ears, and improvements could be
had only at great additional cost"
