In the initial statement giving the price of the used “jeep” the OPA did not make any statement as to when cars would be available to the public. It is not likely to be very soon, either, and as there is but little gas for their use, they would likely not be very usable, if they were obtainable. But once they are thrown onto the market, it is safe to say that there will be a ready sale for them. Zfoi/ßLE /Af Tf/E&s M R EMA/ YOUR BOND H IS is the year o f decision.
