County People Buying
Will Not Be Cars Enough' .
to Supply the Demands
of the 1919 Season
''There will not be cars enough to
begin to supply the demands of the
VJVJ season," says li. C. Hamilton,
who handles the Nash car.
This opinion is based on the state
merits of Charles W. Nash, president
of the Nash Motors company, upon a
first-hand study of the country's in
dustrial outlook as affecting the au
tomobile market. Mr. Nash has just
returned to the factory at Kenosha
after a trip which took him from Chi
cago and New York to Florida.
At practically every point in his
itinerary, through the Carolina, Geor
gia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Ohio, Mr. Nash found reflected the
nine conditions that prevailed at th
Chicago and New York automobile
shows.
In the south, where the selling;'
season is now at its height, Mr. Nnsh !
spent several weeks. Nash dealeiB
on every hand are pressed for carr,
and in spite of the hi;? production;
schedule of the Nash factory practi
time durinK the 1919 season to tveU..
cars enough.
With (Tie first indication
of real spring Mr. Nash believes tha1.
It-alers in the northern seetioiiLVf tho
ountry will find themselves in n sim
ilar situation. Orders will far exceed
automobiles. This, he says, was plain-.
ly indicated by the large retail sales
made at the shows in New York, Chi
cago, Minneapolis, cieveiana anu eise
where.
If the automobile industry may be
regarded as a barometer of business
onditions in general there is, accciu
ng to Mr. Nash, every indication 0
sound prosperity. The problem now
confronting the automobile manufac
turer is how to produce cars this year?
in quantities sufficient to satisfy the
demands of the public.
Auto Dealer Reports That
Outlook for Sales Was
Never Brighter than Now
Prospects for an unusually good
year for automobile dealers were ncv-
Brighter. In spite of the uan
weather which has been experienced
hire for the past two months car deal
ers have been reporting many sales.
According to Chase Bohnenkamp, wno
ikes caro of the Chevrolet car sa es
for the W. II. Bohnenkamp company,
cars are selling more treeiy riimi
than they generally do in the best
part of the season
On .Tnminrv 11th the first carload
of 1913 Chevrolet cars was unloaded:
in La Grande. Since that time- there
ha3 been sold here about twenty of
these cars. Inclbded among those
who have purchased the 1919 models
,.ro tho fnMowinir: Clyde Webb, Ali-
cel; Fred Fox and J. D. Hibbard of
Union; Jay Robinson, P. Hogensen,
W. V. Thompson and Ferrcl Murray of
Perry, and Ella Muillenberg, W. II.

son, W. J. Briggs, Floyd McKcnnon.

sale of used cars has been very brisk.
No trouble has been experienced in
selling all the good small used cars
tmde on the new
models. ! !
At this time the company is trying
to accumulate 'a little reserve stock
to take care of the spring rush when
it starts. Orders for several carloads
of machines have been placed with
the factory to be rushed out as soon as
possible, but even now considerable
delav in filling orders is being experi
enced.
