New Chevrolet
To Be Displayed
Papers To Carry Bulk OF Adpertis-
ing Of New Line To Be
Introduced SATURDAY.

The Chevrolet Motor company
will introduce an entirely new line
of passenger cars Saturday, accor
ing to Information received here
yesterday from Detroit.
Announcements concerning the
new cars will appear almost exclu-
sively in display columns of news
papers because of the unequaled ef-
f~ectiveness of newspapers in get
ting an important sales message tic
the public, it was announced.
The company is optimistic owe,
prospects for the sale of these cars
it was declared. Officials feel that
a satisfactory present market ex-
lists for any worthy product rightly
priced and ably advertised and mer-
chandised.
H. T. Ewald, president of tbs
Campbell-Ewald company of De
%troit, said: "This policy at this
time seems to me most construc-
tive. Nc organization SO consisten-
thy conservative as Chevrolet would
make such a move without feelins
that the outlook justifes it. Such
aggressiveness on the part of tn
largest producing company in the
worlds largest industry must give
business men everywhere additional
confidence and courage.
"As l am quoted in Editor and
Publisher, 1.-THE best thing that adj
vertisers can do to restore conf
dence is to show confidence them
selves. The best evidence of that
confidence is the presence in news
paper pages of continued advertis-
ing copy that by its very persist
ence shows an abiding faith in
those institutions on which all
business is founded'."

TAX DATA

TAX DATA
The American Petroleum Insti-
tute supplies Information abou,
gasoline tax which is worth think
ing about. For example, say your
car runs twelve miles to the gallon
of gas, and you pay a tax of &c a
gallon.
The toll is:
One cent for every 6 miles Of
travel.
scent tax equals 1 cent every
4 miles.
A Accent tax equals 1 cent every
; miles.
Ascent tax equals l cent every
IA miles.
A 6-cent tax equals l cent every
2 miles.
Every one of the states has
gasoline tax, the rate varying from
2 to 6 cents. The average rate fol
the country last year was 3.3'
cents.
New York consumes the mos
gas, but its revenue from the gaso.
line tax is less than that of Texas
because the rate in New York
2 cents, whereas in Texas it is
cents. Ohio, with a Accent rate
collected more revenue than any
other state.
The institute says that it 81 no
opposed to a reasonable gasoline tax
provided the revenues are used TO
road purposes only, but it insist
that the tax should be in prope
relationship to the price of gaso
lime.

Few appeared worried yesterday
over their money in the Salisbury
banks. Most persons felt confident
they would get it back soon and the
principal difficulty was the lack of
some sort Of circulating medium
that would provide for the supply
ing of groceries and other imme-
date needs. Many persons advo-
Gated the issuance Of script to re-
lieve the temporary shortage of
currency.
Hoarders Come Ont
Many merchants reported would
