IN TRADE CIRCLES
One of tho leading manufacturers
of automobiles says: "The proposed
double tax of an additional 5 per cent
on the price of automobiles and trucks
is meeting with emphatic opposition
in trade circles. With hardly one
half of the motor car makers break
ing even in the matter of profits, with
the cost of labor up 25 per cent and
materials up anywhere from 30 per
cent to 400 per cent, an additional 5
per cent on the selling price would
give serious results.
"Over 50,000 firms employing from
three to 30O0 employes each, depend
on the motor car industry for busi
ness. Thus millions of men, women
and children would bo effected by this
proposed tax, not to mention its effect
on business as a whole.
"Personally I do not see why mo
tor car manufacturers should bo addi
tionally taxed any more than boat
builders, engino or agricultural ma
chinery makers or tho steel indus
tries. In Europe since the war start
ed the automobile has proven indis
pensable, more reliable and more flex
ible than even the railroads in the
transportation of men, guns, supplies
or wounded. The more automobiles
of every description America has from
now on, the more she will bo able to
protect herself at home or to speed
up the overseas reliefs."

W. It. DeLay reports splendid busi
ness during tho past two months on
the sale of Chevrolet cars. During
April ho sold 15 and in May 20. Ho
expects a much larger business dur
ing the coming three months.
Owners of autos are preparing to
do nil they possibly can for the bond
issue next Monday mid will be out in
force to vote for il. This is true,
di'spile f lie fact Unit 1 lie unto tux is
to be increased anil that Hie owners
of ears will pay for the $0,0(10,0110
bond issue. This increase will be
mnile, however, whether (he bonds
curry or not, but will cause the money
to come in over n HO-ycar period, but
if (lie bonds carry the money will be
available so work ran be done im
nieiliately and the bonds paid for as

Samuel L. Smith, njred 87, tile pio
neer of automobile production, passed
away at bis Inline in Iletmit, Mich.,
Monday, May 7. To him more than
any other one man is southeastern
Michigan indebted for the automobile
business. Detroit and Lansing owe
him much for establishing them ns the
homes of this pinntie industry. I
The auto dealers of Medford have
already commenced to complain of
the extra shortage of cars caused by i
the war orders hnviuir been ptieed.'
THAT AUTO NOW
Win. II. Rankin, president Wm. II.
Rankin Co., Chicago, has this to say
to those who are withholding their
purchases of automobiles.
"We Americans have $f0,000,000,
000 fifty billion dollars a year to
spend.
"Kven should your and my pur
chases, of necessity be a wee bit less,
the enormous buying which the gov
ernment will be doing with the tax
money will make up for that. And
so our industries will run nt top
speed money will keep moving in n
circle and proserily will bo ling.
Iton't Hold Hack Business.
''Provided that you and I ' don't
throw a wrench into the business ma
chinery by getting 'cold feet' and
holding back on purchases which we
have the money to make.
"If you and I and all others will
buy as much as we can afford, with'
out indulging in wasteful extrava
gance, business will be good. Iet
us all talk 'normal buying and sell
ing' wherever we go and because
actions speak louder than words, let
us practice normal buying.
"For if you and I let our buying
money remain idle if wo virtually
board it instead of spending it the
retailers will buy less from the mnmi
faclurers, the manufacturers will liny
less from producers of raw materials,
people will bo laid off and their
lessened buying will affect other re
tailers, manufacturers and employees
and so on along on endless chain
until finally the depression, which
you and I have helped start, will land
back in our midst, like a boomerang.
Then you and I won't have the money
to buy.
ITosiH-rlty Will Win Wnr.
"Prosperity in this country will win
the war. If you and I interfere with
that prosperity by foolish economy,
wc not only hurt ourselves but we
become enemies of our own flesh und
blood.
"Wo must windy spend our money
or we won't have money to spend.
That sounds paradoxical but is is
as certain as the rising of the fun.
"Decide now to spend the money
you can afford to spend and hold up
your end in promoting dollar patriot
ism which is as essential to our vic
tory as enlisting to fight!
"Tear out this apeal and rend
it to the 'false alarmists,' the 'hys
terical boarders,' and to those who
are not doing their share or normal
buying owing to groundless fears or
misconceptions.
"If you do not own n cur or had
expected to buy one this year, buy it !
It is foolish economy to deprive your
family of a car when you have the
money lo purchase it.
"Arthur Brisbane, the famous
thinker, says:
" 'Yon pay for running water, ns
n matter of course. Just as import
ant, just ns valuable to health is the
running air that fills your lungs and
clears your blood ns your ear rushes
through it.
" 'The one thing we enjoy and own
is this beautiful earth.
"'A ear enables you, your family
and your friends to know and see
this earth and enjoy it fully. To cull
a ear luxury, if you arc able to own
and enjoy it, is a trivial nonsense.
As well call running water and a
bathtub in pour house luxury
"If you hud intended to trnde
in your old ear for a new one, go
ahead and do it. If you had decided
on the make of the new ear, go and
get it. Knjoy yourself doubly by its
purchase first, in the pleasure of its
ownership second, in the knowledge
that by buying it you've helped Uncle
Sam to keep the nation in smooth
running order."

Reputation ;
"When you buy an automobile what do you
really buy?
Do you only buy the material and labor? Or
do you buy what a car stands for in reputation,
in achievement, in excellence or rank?
When you buy a car, you believe what the
maker says of it. You buy material and labor
plus reputation.
Reputation in motor car building is most im
portant. Without reputation, your metal, rubber and
wood would be merely a highly polished mechan
ical assembly. With it, you are certain of satis
faction, plea'surc, health and efficiency travel.
Chevrolet reputation is founded on complete
satisfaction. AVe could not have grown without
it.
