However, How-ever, the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company com-pany reports the fact that the demand for cars just now is so great that in spite o severe weather many dealers ! are driving away their allotments, rather ra-ther than wait for the regular means of delivery. : "We have never before encountered such an eager demand at this time of year," says Harry M. Jewett, president of the Paige. "'Many dealers are ac-1 i tually braving the severest weather and! the most difficult road conditions to i drive their cars from the factory to . their home territory. "Several conditions are responsible for this. First, there is the extraordinary extraordi-nary demand for cars that is continually continual-ly urging the dealer on to hasten his deliveries and which, in spite of the 1 fact that we are working day and night at the factory, keeps us behind on our orders. Again, the dealers, anxious to take advantage of this demand, do not 1 want to take chances on ordinary : freight transportation because of the : congested condition of the railroad j business. I "Not only are the dealers driving the : cars home, but thev are adopting every , other means possible to secure deliveries, as cars are being shipyed bv express, t on flat cars and in every other way ! that can be devised to get them to their ; destination. |
