WESTERN AUTO.
CON d u CTING G.
SPECIAL S AL E|

The Western Auto Supply Compa-
any is now holding a sale featuring
many necessities for the automo-
bile. The sale lasts till November
Is.
This sale will include portions Of
the entire stock but the better Of
ferings are made i'll the immediate
essentials such as winter and rainy
weather needs. The value of mer-
chandise during q sale is usually
determined by comparing the reduc-
ed price with that Of the cost be-
fore the sale.
With each Wear Well cord sold,
q Blue Ribbon tube will be given
for an additional dollar, regardless
of the size of the tire purchased.
The heavy Jumbo tube, of cores
ponding size will be given with the
Western Giant and balloon cord
tires for the same consideration.
Rainy weather necessities will
be more popular at this time of
the year, perhaps, than any other
part Of the cars equipment and
the winter season will be made
more enjoyable and safer if an in
yestment is made in the various ac-
cessories designed for winter use.
+. b. Stivers, the manager of the
local Western Auto store said that
this mid fall event will save many
dollar for the motorist and the
car owner could easily profit by
now buying his windshield wiper,
top recover curtains or other chilly
dav needs at Western Auto.

L. A. AUTOMOBILE
SHOW AIDS THE
SALE OF CARS

The advent Of the automobile
show in Los Angeles and the out
come of the presidential election
| have served to stimulate interest il
| automobiles according to p. /
Moore, of Imperial Valley Finance
Corporation dealers for the Oakland
six in the valley.
"The automobile show in Los An.
geles was tremendous success
from two stan 1points, says Mr..
Moore. "First it gave the public
the opportunity that it has wanted
to see and compare the various new
models brought out during the cur
rent year and which it was impos-
sible for them to do i'll any other
way. The second reason is that it
has pleased the motor dealer not
only in Los Angeles, but all over
Southern California by stimulating
interest and this means added sales.
At least / am venturing this opin-
ion from the experience. of the Oak
land distributor in the show and
from the undercurrents that l have
ucaIu 1uioHe tho othCA Ntoti'D"'ois
in the Los Angeles market.
'Couple with this, the very gra-
tifying results Of the election and
we can consider new page turned
on business in general which is al
ways reflected in motor ear sales.
From now on I look for Il revival
of brisk selling due to the re-estab-
lishmert of public confidence, with
out which there can be no such
thing as good business.
"While there was but little doubt
as to the outcome Of the presiden-
tial election, there was at the same
time enough uncertainty about it to
cause those who were not in the
position to know the great national
mind to cease spending or investing
and this naturally brought about &
lull that has been felt in every line
Of business. The motor car indus
try should consider itself fortunate
that it felt the impediment less
than many other Of the large IN
dustries Of the country.
