Reports of retail deliveries for the first four months this year, plus the estimated figure for four weeks in May, indicate that the .domestic dealer organization, with General Motors of Canada, and Jjleneral Motors Export, to ; date, M r. Klingler stated.

LENOIR, Agent CHABLtp Fight the Common ENEMIES May we suggest that the merchants of Frank lin, instead of fighting among themselves, get together and fight the common enemies, the mail o.rder houses and the chain stores r In a fight of this kind the puhlic will take the part 6 those who are a part of the community, who constantly work for the best interests of the town "and county, who pay taxes and who support home institutions and home charities.
