Last winter local automobile dealers were pessimistic concerning the out- look for the future. Then Henry Ford started the ball rolling by reducing the prices on his cars. Other manu- facturers fell in line and as a result optimism is predominant among north shore dealers.

"The automobile business during the summer has been quiet because people have been wait- ing for new models and further re- ductions in prices," he continued. "Re- ports from the factories indicate that prices on cars that have been reduced will remain as they are, but the car will be greatly improved. Manufactur- ers are spending from $200 to $500 more on cars and selling them at.the same prices. The thoughtful buyer will trade in his old car this fall and purchase a new one, and not wait un- til spring, for by doing so he will be purchasing a superior model at the lowest price in consistence with the value of the car."
