announced in Mondays issue of
The Press.
This change in schedule will pre-
vail during July and August, states
Agnes Ferris Bigelow, librarian.

have Just returned from extended
trips throughout the east, south

reflect a definitely optimistic re-
action to the recent price reduc-
ton in Pontiac automobiles. They
look for continued good business
through the summer and predict
that farmers in wide areas of the
country will be an important factor
in the late summer and fall auto
mobile market
Returning from swing through
the east, A. V. l.. Gilpin, general
sales manager of the company said
he felt that the price reduction
will be definite help to sales. Like
all changes of this kind about 10
days are required for prospective
buyers to readjust themselves TO
the new prices.
lone definite indication of the
reaction to the reduced prices, -
said Gilpin, sis the fact that prac-
tically our entire northern region
embracing the territory around De-
troit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati and Buffalo nave asked to
have their allotments doubled.
dealers are in much better
shape financially than they have
been for long time. Recent an
alysis of their profit statements
shows that as a whole Pontiac deal
ers are on a profit basis this year
and will finish 1884 with much
better showing than the year be-
fore.
Pontiac IS retail business in May
was ahead of April and the reports
we are receiving from our men in
the field forecast similar increase
for June which is contrary to nor
NAL conditions.
II believe that sales will con-
tinue to benefit from the $40 re-
duction which we put through on
the entire Pontiac line,' concluded
Gilpin.
''It offers to the prospective
buyer just $40 more on his down
payment on a Car, and represents
$40 added to the spread between
the allowance for his used car and
the price of a new Pontiac.
Assistant general sales manager
c. P. Simpson who has been in the
southwest says that in Texas, Okla
homa and Kansas June sales will
exceed those in May by a material
margin which is quite contrary to
the usual custom. Deliveries are
running considerably ahead of 1888
throughout that territory.
In the southeast where R. K.
White, assistant general sales man
ager has been travelling, the farm
ers will purchase more motor cars
this year than they have in five
years, he declares. That region
will raise the largest percentage
of the country's grain crop in its
history.
