Factor," Not only will irenenU bun I now be better, employment a widespread Hiid wanes bettor. Cram doc I ore, but no predicts automobile production and sales will be Inrper than In this year; more new car owners will appear and better cars wHl be bought. Ha adda. however, that used cur values will b lower than now, and while this -will help the uped car buyer it will interfere with tha man seeking1 to trade in his old car for a new one. I v Heavy Buytnjr Ino "With 1925 drawing to a close, after an excellent setting for all thl tips automotive thought ts di rected to 1926 and Its potential) tics," Cram declared. "Without question It will be an excellent business year, and as such, should carry with It another large volume of automobile buying. Money should be more plentiful than Jn the present year, and with more confidence in the business struc ture generally, should be more ex tensively employed. This means creation of business opportunities, general employment and Increased incomes. There will be nn increased volume of automotive - buying, though possibly not a largely In creased sale or units, w e mean oy this there will be an inclination to buy better cars on the part of those ordinarily buying In lower ranges. Manufacturers and deal ers in the lower-priced lines will probably see many of their present owners ascend into the better grades many more than In the ordinary business year. . To com pensate for these they must de velop and sell a new group of owners persons formerly without cars. More first buyers will buy in better grades because of Improved economic status, but there should be a greater number of first buy ers than ever before, the large per centage of whom will be In the lower grades. To Speed rp Market 'There will be a (tendency to quloken the general automotive market through many buyers com ing in with car8r .practically, new which they seek to trade on better cars. The result of this will be a general lowering of used car valu ationa and prices. So many cars of one to three year's use wil. be of fered on the used car market there will be practically no market for the cars older than-this except in tne netter graaea. ''Plans of manufacture are for largely increased schedules,- but unless buying develops on a scale which permits dealers to move these Increased numbers at a profit the present announced schedules will be curtailed. This means that dealers need not anticipate the necessity of excessive allowances to move their increased new car quotas. - LJnes which cannot be moved without excessive allow ances will-, not 'he made In large numbers and dealers will be fully justified in switching to lines for which there is ready demand at lair terms." . , , - - !"-!' -" " ' ' Company Maik in .Manas Up Now Chicago Mistoiy GREAT EVENT OBSERVED lfc'llwnt 401 ullli Ttl Value nr Minv limn lluir Mllllim ; IKillam : Th, nw Nash-bullt AJa SI. b aw, of It, outstanding quality, la regarded a a distinct coutrlbuilon to tha motor cor Industry.

DIMMING KOT EFFECTIVE FAUjS to make night driv 1xg asy safer Xew Buiclc Models Introduced In August, provide Safe IJght ing On Highways Motorists who have been forced to grope their way blindly against the glare of automobile headlights will welcome any changes in equipment which make night driving sorer lor all concerned. That dimmers have been inef fective is best shown by the fact tnat some states cave laws pro hibiting the dimming of head lights. On the other hand, dim ming at the approach of another car is made compulsory In other states. , ., . Most effective and safe lighting is provided on the new BuIcK models Introduced In August. For country driving and when the road ahead la clear, the beams from tho new Bulck headlights send broad path of light the , entire width of tha road for a long dis tance nhena. At tho approach of another car, tho light may be directed down ward just In front of the car. but with full ntrencth of the beam re tained, furVuhlng adequate light for the driver and at the same time taking the glare of headlights from iho eyes of the approaching motorist. Thla effect is obtained by shift ing the current of th.9 lamps from one ti lament. to another, Tho con trol is conveniently mounted on the steering post under tho driver's nunti. There is nothing to get out of order, aa thoro is. nothing me chanical nbotit the controlled light. Reflectors, bulbs, etc., are station ary. Tho lltrht is thrown down ward hy incimrt of specially dc signed Ions built into tho lamps.

He points out that Best's In surance News, of New York City, a publication devoted to the inter ests of insurance agents and com panies, recently took Issue sharply with those who have been fighting the Chrysler plan from apparently selfish motives. "The secretary of the national association ' of insurance agents," an editorial in this publication reads, "in a statement concerning the Chrysler plan, advanced the un answerable argument that, so far as the agenta are concerned, there is but one test of tne Tightness of any insurance practice, namely, 'It is a good tning tor tne puDiic r Unfortunately, the balance of the statement containing that asser tion was devoted wholly to a dis cussion of the merits of the agency system and the effect of the Chry sler plan upon the agents; there was not a word about the effect upon, the public. "In the vast amount of comment published In the insurance press the Interests of the buyer are for gotten, as is also the simple eco nomic fact that the transaction of any kind of business on a whole sale rather than a retail plan re sults In a substantial saving. "Surely it should be recognized by the local agenta throughout the country that the interests of their clients are paramount, and that np change In methods resulting from the normal economic de velopment of the business should be opposed by them If such a change Is beneficial to tho public, even though ft might be to the disadvantage of the agents. "Certainly It should be possible to insure In a single transaction 100,000 automobiles at less propor tional cost than would be neces sary to inmiro each of them sep arately. This group Insurance principle has long been recog nized In the life Insurance busi ness and is now making remark able progreos In popularity."
