J * ”*> ^ -■-rT NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY CA There is a reason in all things and the reason that Chevrolets are sold more than any other car is that they are absolutely the best car value for your money. Now is the time to buy your automobile. White & Woodward of Rodman, N. C. are local dealers in Chevrolet passenger cars. Now is the time to secure the widest selection of models and now is the time to arrange for delivery. 1920 models are established. The public has had an oppor tunity to judge them in operation. There will be little change, if any, during the current year. There is no indication that the prices will be lowered. The demand for automobiles is steadily increasing and it becomes especially heavy from spring on. By placing your order during the winter months the uncer tainty of spring and summer demand is avoided. Manufacturers arc enabled to calculate the demand more definitely and to produce accordingly. Likewise delivery is made more convenient for the purchaser. And there i« plenty of use to be enjoyed from automobiles during the winter months. The time has past when a car’s utility ended with fine weather. Today, with all the conveniences, one uses his car the year around. In fact it is during severe weather that a car proves to be of the greatest convenience. Especially is this true of the practical closed cars that have bcome so popular for all season use. That’s just what they’re made for. In short the purchaser who orders his car now has nothing to lose. If he does not want his car right away delivery may be reg> ulated accordingly. If he does he can begin to get practical re turns from it just so much sooner. And a good car will be as fit as ever when summer comes, and what’s more he'll have it. A. M. WHITE U. G. WOODWARD WKite Woodward “The Chevrolet” Rosman, N. C. V 7 I Madam *feveryday Housewife is ex pected to be well posted concernin'' all the forces entering into the mak ing of prices. This raises her pro fession of a business managor of the home to a plane with tiny Inisiness executive. With this coino.; added responsibility. It is rather a simple mai,ter to livt up to the added expectation, as the national women’s magazines and women’s pages of the leading news papers are all publishing the correct economic information. It is impos sible to speak didactiaclly on the rising prices of food, for instance, bewailing the fact and making wild guesses as to the cause, without delving into the fundamental causes that underlie them. The first necessity is to put our in dustries on the firm foundation that only the plentiful production of nec essity can bring about. The demands of women buyers are what deter mine production. The responsibil ity of practical demands is on the hc’.ne maker and all women buyers. ! Our standards are not to be low- j ered, of course, but must be made sound. When the production of | luxuries jn’oportionately overbalan- I CCS the production of -.K ccs.^iLic-s, thi-re is trouble ahead. In thinking over the reasons for t)resent i^nces ' for labor and commodities, we must realize first the .treat gap mad" by the war in workers in essential in- ' dustries and the reserve supply of ' materials. I In America alone, five million of the very best were v,'ithdrawn from i industry and supported by those i k'ft. Could such a cessation of pro- : (iuction, such a withdrawing of mil- I lions of workers irom the producing i class and placing them in the sup- ' porteil class, have any other elTect thr.7i rising prices? It is a fact that at\er our comparatively small Civil War it took the United States twelve years to get back lo a pre-war basis. Do you know that orginaliy the hirger y-voportion of persons in | America were on farms producing food. Some fifty years ago, 80 per cent were raising food for the other 20 per cent and themselves. Now i the mass is huddled in and only 40 per cent are raising food on farms for the whole 100 per cent of eaters. | Only a few years ago the farmer | was a poor, struggling man battling j with mortages; now he is prosperous, | owns electrical machinery and an automobile, and gets high prices. ! I Raw material must be produced. ; General industry must be encourag- I ed, not torn down. Thrift and indus- i try must become ideal. Production ! I must be regarded as a goal toward , I which all America is working. We must have abundance. Then the nat- | ural law of supply and demand will ! bring down costs. As long as there | is a scarcity there will be higher | ])rices. 1 Another cause of higher price is j higher wage. It is unnecessary to | dwell on the immense increases in j waji'es for practically all occupations, j A few years ago day laborers were paid $1.00 a day. Those were the days of 10 cent chops. Untrained workers earning big sums, unaccus-1 tomed to real investments, have 1 spread a dangerously extravagant spirit over America. Less work and i higher wages became a sort of j mania. Thy fact was lost sight of that roots of living are in the soil, and production must be speeded up there, and from the farm thru all the successive steps to the table. It is apparent that prices of foods are higher generally because of eco nomic causes unavoidable, and that this condition must be met by stab ilizing food production and consump- ' tion and equalizing the distribution. American people must increase pro duction until the world shortage is met and we catch up with pre-war conditions.
