JUST take a good look at the old car when you start out
for the movies tonight!
Tires bald-headed as an electric light bulb, and just a
bout as safe to drive on. . . . Dents front and rear where
Martha didn’t quite negotiate the garage. . . . Paint that
looks like the skin of an old potato. . . . An engine that has
both whooping cough and the jitters, and burns up many
unnecessary dollars in gasoline and oil.
And as you drive along the road notice the new cars
that pass you by. . . how much smoother they are . . . more
silent . . . powerful . . . how quickly they stop, how fast
they get away.
Isn’t it about time you were getting a new machine?
Especially with automobile values greater right now
than they are ever likely to be again?
Think things over a little ... as they relate to industry
... and as they relate directly to yourself.
For the past four years the bottom has seemed to drop
out of everything. Factories have been closed because
there was no demand for their products. Workmen have
been thrown out of jobs. Prices have gone down and down
—nothing has appeared to have any basic value at all.
But everything should have a true basic value ... a
value which is fair alike to the person who makes it, the
one who sells it, and the one who buys it. This is the pur
pose of the NR A: to make everything worth something
again.
And that purpose is suceeding! In the automobile and
allied industries scores of thousands more men are being
employed today than a year ago; they are being paid mil
lions more in wages. Prices on commodities are mounting
steadily. Steel is up 15 per cent. Crude rubber 144 per
cent. Upholstering fabrics
are up 50 per cent.
These increases are not
yet reflected in the finished
automobiles. Today you can
still buy at the old low prices.
Now is the time to buy.
