AUTO INDUSTRY
IN LIQUID
SHAPE
BY w. A. BLEES
General Sales Manager, Buick Olds-
Pontiac Sales Company

General Sales Manager, Buick Olds-
Pontiac Sales Company
There has been a great deal of
discussion as to the part the
manufacturing industry will play
i: Leading the country back to
better times, and how the manu-
featuring industry will accom-
plish this. There has also been
considerable discussion as to what
lines of business will lead the pro
ceSsion in this recovery. Probably
no one line of business will do it,
but each will contribute share.
But underlying all of this re-
covery must first come a liquida-
ton of old stocks-probably
stocks bought at higher price
levels than the present economic
conditions will warrant-and an
adir- tment to the new order.
The automobile industry, from
this standpoint, is entering on the
production and sale of 1888 cars
il most liquid condition from
an inventory standpoint.
d. lOr QUICK DlSpOSdl
BY this I mean that there were
fewer cars on hand to dispose of
when the new cars were an
nounced than in any year during
the last 10. In addition, the stock
of used cars is extremely low,
something like 40 per cent fewer
used cars on hand than at the
same time a year ago.
This desirable condition was
brought about by a consumption
exceeding production during the
last three or four months of 1882.
Thus 1888 starts off with produc-
ton behind sales.
Few people realize how diff
cult it is for any company having
large dealer organization to so
plan that all new stocks of cars
are sold before the introduction
of a new model. Any cars that
are left over from one year must
be sold in the next, and each
car so sold usually takes the
place of a new car that other
wise would be sold.
For instance, during 1882 prac-
tically one out of every 10 new
cars sold were models of the pre-
vious year. These cars were built
in 1931-materials were pur-
chased for them in 1931-and
employment given for their build
ing in 1881.
Trade Pickup Certain
With a practically nonexistent
inventory of the previous years
cars, any pickup of the market
during 1888 will be reflected in
an economic way in all lines of
business related in any way with
the automobile industry.

Fox Passes

One of the classic tales OF
radio is the story of the bedtime
story teller, who, laboring under
the mistaken belief he was OIL
the air at the conclusion Of his
children's program, shouted, Wen,
that ought to put the little
bratS to Sleep E,%-'
Radio is full of stories OF ma
tion-wide faux pas. If you've
ever made a break in the pres
ence Of even a small gathering,
you'll appreciate the feelings OF
a radio announcer who does so
over a nationwide hook-up.
Members of that voluble profes-
sion can recall: many terrifying
slips of the tongue in earshot OF
many million homes. In their
fervor to dramatize the selling
message of their sponsors, they
make frequent mistakes, many OF
which are understandable in the
hectic rush OF broadcastirg.
Take the case OF Tiny Euffner,
the Show Boats giant announcer.
In his long career before the
microphone. he's made few mis-
takes that have brought the color
to his cheeks and letters to his
sponsor, but perhaps none proved
so embarrassing as the time,
several years ago, when he was
pressed for time in the delivery
Of his commercial.
His tongue got hCpelessly
Snarled, and the nourcement
was fast becoming a sorry botch
of words. He felt like those
machine-gun sports anpouncers
of the Floyd Gibbons school
when somebody sucks a lemon in
front of them just when Notre
Dame has the ball on the one
yard line.
Muddled beyond words, he stop
ped suddenly in the midst of the
announcement, which was going
out over a 52-htation hook-up, and
said: Now, wait a minute! Let's
start this thing all over again!'
And So stations waited while

GO THROUGH
3 STAGES!
And They are Far Easier
Stopped in the First than in
the Second or Third!


A cold ordinarily passes through
three stages-the Dry Stage, the
first "a hours; the Watery Secre-
ton Stage, from l to 3 days; and
the Mucous Section Stage. Relief
is twice as easy in the first stage.
For prompt relief take a couple
of Groves Laxative Bromo Qu1-
nine Immediately upon catching
cold. This will usually expel the
cold overnight and thus prevent
the spread of the infection within
your system.
Groves Laxative Bromo Quinine
is effective because it does the
four things necessary. 1t opens
the bowels. Kills the cold germs
and fever in the system. Relieves
the headache and grippy feeling.
Tones the entire system and for
titles against further attack.
Groves Laxative Bromo Quinine
contains nothing harmful. May
be safely taken by young and old
and whether you stay indoors or
go out. There is absolutely no
penalty attached to its use. For
more than 40 years it has been
the standard cold and grippe tab
let of the world, the formula
keeping pace with Modern Medi-
cine. Groves Laxative Bromo
Quinine now comes in two sizes

cold that may come along. Say

NOTE: During Epidemics a tab
