Prices have been reduced t absolute minimum. Western Auto is always in the lead give motorists every possible reduction in price and every increase in service and quality.

One thing passenger car drivers must remember is this the truck has its plaee on the highways. It is part of our great commercial system and business would suffer tremendously without it. One would go without a good many things tomorrow if the motor truck ceased to exist. The truck driver should, on the other hand, remember that the highways were not built entirely for commercial use and that there are nine times as many paisenger jars on tyie road aa there are trucks, and that the errands they are on are not aUifrivolpus. Doctors, commercial travelers, heads of business and many others are constantly using the roads for business purposes as important as those of tne trucks. Big deals may be pending, or lives may be stake, And these passenger ears must go on with the least possible delay. The truck driver Bhould traffic should keep to the right, should not blunder remember that into congested traffic at right angles, and that at highway Intersections road courtesy should be at its best. Drivers of every kind of vehicle should keep friends with every other driver, Not only does present-datraffic demand it, but common sense requires it, One smile does more to make highway friendships than a thousand words. Let the other fellow have the other half of the road. Swing out with safety to let the hurried driver pass. When you hear a horn it may be your brothers give ground.

A most amazing reversal of generally accepted economics explains the nudsfimmer reductions of automobile prices. Generally speaking,- what has come to be known as a buying strike on part of the publie Is usually- responsible for bringing down prices. This was the explanation of the great deflation movement between midsummer of 1920 and the beginning of 1922. The public declined to pay the price and withdrew from the market. Then prices came down. prevailing high Exactly the opposite explains the present new low level of automobile This reduction was brought about through prices. buying. The public has bought in such quantities that big unexpected economies were made possible. As a result, we have the present new range. No manufacturer foresaw such a development at the beginning of 1922, when new prices were set. All of them went ns low as seemed pqssible, based on the volume of business in sight. Among manufacturers there was a general opinion that these prices would stand for the whole year. rush of business based, first, oa the necessity of the automoThe em bile m relation to the evervday life of the American family, and, second, on improving business, which brought intotypical the market many buyers who had two This years. bpn waiting changed the whole situation and warranted new re-ee- price.

The extent to which steel enters the manufacture of beads, one of the most important parts of the tire, is into not thoroughly recosrnized, though it is tSsed iu tremendous quantities. It is estimated that 41,230,000 pounds of fine steel will b used in the man-tires that will be produced in this country this year. rifa Auto Accessories for AH Cars Camp Comforts for Motorists OIL AND MAIL DELIVERY IMPROVED.
