Chevrolet Sales Manager Finds CohditidnaGood All of Western 'Territory DETROIT," March -21- -Return Ing hern this week after an ab sence of six weeks, during which a majority of the larger cities west of Chicago were visited, R. H. Grant, vice-president In charge of sales for the Chevrolet Motor company, when, asked his Impres sions of the business outlook in the territory covered by his tour. expressed himself enthusiastical ly over the existing prosperity and the Indications that this generally prosperous condition will contln ue throughout the year. The tour was made In the com pany of several Chevrolet depart ment executives and a close study rot local and district business ac tivity was made at each point through personal investigation. contact with hundreds of Chevro let dealers,' ' bankers and other business men. To Regain Old Honor Prospects of a material Increase In Chevrolet "retail sales due to the broadened field opened up by the Introduction of the new six in the price range of the four, and a high degree of enthusiasm evident among dealers everywhere appars to be certain of fulfill ment, according to Mr. Grant, who declared the temporary short age of cars Incident to the change over of the factory to the new six cylinder model was being rapidly overcome and that Chevrolet would again take its place as the dealer in ears registered,' a place It has held for the past two years except for a lapse of approximate ly 60 days while the plants were being latered to produce the new car. At Minneapolis Mr. Grant de clared the outlook was excellent for a good wheat crop due to the neavy snowxau. in spite or se vere, weather conditions, which. by the .way, prevailed almost everywhere during the period of the tour, ho declared both whole sale and retail business In- Minne apolis was about normal, with prospects of returning moderate temperature proving a decided stimulus to business. . - 1 Rains Help in Montana : Heavy rains last fall, followed by heavy snows this winter, prom ise another bumper crop season In Montana as well as prosperity for the stock raiser. , The rising tide of wages in the Butte mining dis trict, together with the best out. ook for the 'cosDer-industry in ody - - A la harm m. d-kscfi Cs iai ; .uoonsusw rx... wsrsnave nyo I wodd show yea how, la both tjtiul ,aiid cjciss,- the Gobd " - Ttr ti fieHaitciy, so dejnoDBtrnie . the rcr ChwdTear! goperior txac rd desissstiatt also the rea- for Goodyeai's losser tire tn av chiaeethe BUi WBX-X. . ia aaytbjezid 5 lliUtexs Zlcro AX CVSSSSSSJA ST, " V- . ... v "5 The New Is participating in uw polo championships at Del Monte. California, : - m years indicate a year of exception al prosperity, he said. ; Since the establishment of a Chevrolet tone office in Butte about two years ago the Tolume of sales has been more than doubled. , The lumber business, as; well as building operations and even retail sales were slowed up slight ly early in February by cold wea- th and heavy snowi;yet credit conditions in Seattle are' excellent and all lines of business appeared to be only. waiting for the opening up of the highways and streams for what promise to be one of the best years the state of Washing ton has ever had. In Portland the Chevrolet party found business generally on the upgrade with every indication of unusual activity throughout the year. The outlook for the lum ber industry, which has been be low normal for some time, prom ises better prices and Is generally better than for some years. Lum bering was temporarily closed down until the streams opened up, but It was expected weather con ditions would improve within' a few weeks at the most. Oregon's excellent system of highways, like those of Washington ard Califor nia, has done much toward short ening distances and has proven the greatest stimulus to decen tralisation of population and greater activity for the farmer, the stock raiser, the fruit gcower and the retail merchant. These highways Jiave brought' the more Isolated sections closer to the wholesale and retail markets, and to nail and steamship heads.
