Bepl, 2 t A little nor than a year ago car-hungry thousands wer waiting lor new car deliveries. They war paying premium prices for new cara at second hand car lota. They vera aelhng year old cam for more than they paid tor them. Today all that la gone. Probably the record-breaking production rate has had something to do with the ; change. Certainly new cara no longer are hard to get. And you I cant aeu your year old or even 1 threa months old car for more I than you paid for It. Several hundred thousand poten tial new car buyers dropped out of the market when they found the value of their used cars had de clined rather suddenly. Things Move Fast That's bow fast things move In the multi-bllllon dollar automobile i Industry. Very few auto makers are talking I today about unfilled oroer back logs. Tney are saying Instead that 'business Is good." For soma that means they are celling just about all the cars they are producing. For others tt means i the drop In sale volume has not 1 been as precipitate as many Indus- j try source expected tt this season of the year. But there Is a great difference In selling all the cars that are pro duced and having an unfilled order backlog running Into six figures. Record Output Tet It must be remembered pro duction and aales this year undoubt edly will top all previous years in tha industry's history. And the In dustry's gross and net Income should surpass that of any other year. Moreover there tsnt anything presently in sight to Indicate the leveling off expected during the fi nal quarter of the year will be of more than seasonal proportions. Many Industry chroniclers look for another auo.000 unit output this month. Tha same reporters, how ever, expect a production cut dur ing October of as much as IS per cent from tha years peak levels. The November and December vol ume could be reduced even further because ol model change-overs. Most of the car manufacturers apparently are more .concerned about consumer demand right now than they are about their supply situation. Generally they have su able stocks of steel, probably enough for a month's operation at high levels. These stocks, of course, would last much longer If output Is cut back for any reason. Nanaal Decline Of consumer demand, most Indus try authorities explain . tney are counting oniy upon a seasonal re duction during tha period from Oc tober through February. They in sist there Is no reason to look tor more than a normal winter decline So tar this year the car factories Ir the United States have built more than 3 700 000 nassencer cars and ft? IWI truck. I In cars alone tha total Is more than a million units ahead of last year's output at tha same date. nra ii nn .. -..i(-s- ' inni ,na rwa3tVn innii'i Wrl-.. ;LwLS)ku.ii WINNING TEAM of Oregon Tech in the sale of season tickets for OTI's football games is the group pictured above which was responsible for the sale of 49 tickets in one day.

These extra rharg. ea customarily Increase the prices paid by consumers for those goods. Th federal lax on transportation of property Is three per cent of I he regular transportation charge. tThe 15 per rent tax on passenger fares Is not affected by the new rale in crease. i The Interstate commerce commis sion granted th railroads a gen eral four per cent Increase In freight rates to compensate for the costs of Installing a five-day week schedule for non-operating employ ee September 1. Future Taiea It la expected that congress will give primary attention to the prop erly transportation lax when It tackles the excise levy Issue at next years session. Tax specialists say It Is the one tax which virtually ev eryone favors abolishing. That's because It tends lo Increase living costs more than any other single excise tax. One reason la that It applies to all kinds of commodi ties and another la that It oltrn keeps pyramiding. For example, It la applied first lo raw materials bring shipped to an assembly plant. Second, these ma terials are taxed again when ship ped In a semi-finished slate. Final ly. I here Is a lax on shipments of the finished product. Ksiise Taiee President 'Human generally has opposed the elimination of excls taxes, but III his midyear economic report he said the properly trans portation tax should be allied out. He didn't advocate repealing the 15 per rent tax on passenger travel. However, there will be pressure for abolishing the passenger tax when congress tackles the properly transportation levy. Many congress man contend that much travel is In the necessity, rather than Ih pita, sure class. The 15 per cent blto Is considered particularly rough on persons who regularly ride commuter trains lo and from work.

IOR years, folks have talked about the "low-priced three" in the car business. For a feneration these have been the same three cars, unchallenged for position simply because they were lowest priced. But take a look at the beauty pictured here and ask yourself: How would you like to sell against it, with its wealth of ' Buick features? How would you like to compete with it when it wears a price tag any new-car buyer can reach, gives you straight eight performance for less than many sixes? Truth is, this one set a lot of standards that are going to be hard to match. This styling is certainly something to start other designers tossing in their sleep. tun I. Hllirr ;, M tor. AK rlwi. nvy Uml, . This handy size a dream in traffic, yet generous in interior room is a "must" for cart yet to come. The lift of high-pressure Fireball power the level-going comfort of the Buick ride the luxury of Dynaflow Drive, here optional at modest extra cost all these are wanted things others just can't overlook. So why not do the obvious thing and go see the car that's causing sleepless nights in Detroit? Study its smartness, test its room and comfort, try its handling, note the precise figures of its delivered prices. You can do all that on a single trip to your Buick dealer's and make your selection of a wide choice of equipment and colors at the same time. Ti: X.ST III Ml!
