Auto owners who plan TO add
some accessory to their equip
ment are advised to do il be-
fore the first of December or
they will find great difficulty
In buying it. For instance. the
buggy whip radio aerial which
is in common use now will be
scarce after December.
The auto clock may become a
thing of the past. as the manu-
facturers are finding it almost
impossible to get delivery on
them. The cigar lighter, extra
ash trays, vanity mirrors, extra
rear-view mirrors and seat
covers are a vanishing class
and the supply will be very
limited in the future. The car
makers have been given several
dozen items which will disap-
pear in the new economy. Prob
ably the hardest hit is the hot
water car heater for which cop
per has been banned.
