re I nan One Car is Available Belivery
Will be in Order S
Possibly the only motor car in the whole wide world that you care to buy. There it stands
on your dealer's floor. He has just told you that he has "only one car left." That car he
can deliver. Beyond it are only limitless possibilities for material shortage, freight conges
tion, delayed deliveries, and higher prices. Can you, will you, be satisfied with a promise
when you can now buy that car on the dealer's floor?
This is why you have an important date at your dealer's tomorrow.
Hio'Vir Prira Government regulation of metals does not guarantee deliveries to manufacturers
Alglld a 1 And labor costs continually mount as living costs increase taxes, super-taxes, in
creased transportation charges, higher postage and greater general "overland" costs are gradually forcing manufacturers to neces
sarily higher selling prices. Every week sees an increase of fifty to five hundred dollars on some car or truck. The car you desire
has had an increase this year, and may have another one soon. Wisdon says: "Buy that car on the dealer's floor."
IVInri a1 fcfinrlAo'A &tee, alurnum copper, are being converted daily to ammunition manu
IviiaiCliai Q11U1 lagC facture. Each new Liberty standardized truck, manufactured for the
army in tens of thousands, absorb the metal of two passenger cars. New freighters by hundreds, battleships and submarines require
thousands of tons of the best steel and copper. Airplanes by thousands, each require the aluminum sufficient for twenty cars. Such
material shortage means a motor car shortage for you can't spill cream and still have a full cream jug. "Buy that car on the deal
er's floor.
Moving 600,000 soldiers and their supplies is a
big task of itself. Every farmer, every business
man, every professional man knows that food, coal and soldiers will precede ordinary freight. If you or your friend bought a car
last spring and waited week after week for delivery, you know what deliveries will be this spring. Last year over half the Autos
shipped into certain territory came on flats or gondolas. The Interstate Commerce Commission has just ordered these cars used
exclusively for coal. Midwinter "drive aways" from factories seem the only recourse. "Buy that car on the dealer's floor."
Because these are the f acts, the absolute undeniable, existing facts, we say to you, that
f you wish to be sure of owning a 1918 motor car in 1918, You must buy that car now!
