amount variously state'd a 11(0,

not mean, howover, that the buyers

rush to the market to buy automo

buying. Dealers are taking cars,
putting them away for the brief
period to real spring buying, and
this is making for big gain In
manufacturing. During the winter
few cars were made for storage,
and, a if has been predicted, tho
rush has come all at one. The
result may be the Inability to se
cure material as rapidly-as desired,
and the curtailment of poulble out
