At the present time there are any number of big business men who are credited with predicting the pres- ent wonderful prosperity of our country, and one of the first to make the prediction was R. H. Collins, General Sales Manager; Buick Motor Company. Early in the year 1914, Mr. Collins said, “There will be a greater demand for: automobiles in the year 1915 than the world has ever dreamed of and those who hope to drive a new car in the spring or summer of that year, will do well to enter their order early. The prediction came true, and the Buick Motor Company has not yet been able to catch up with the demand, and now Mr. Collins says, “Inasmuch as the demand for Buick cars is right at home--practically none of them being furnished for war purposes—and the fact that when the war is over, American manufacturers will be called upen'to work their factories day and night to furnish much of the material required to rebuild that part of Europe which has been devastated, I can readily see that the demand for Buick cars will continue and in an effort to meet the demand this year's production of 66,000 Buick H automobiles will be doubled. In spite of this fact, many who fail to order early will be disappointed.” The Bemidji Auto Co. O. ONGSTAD, Prop. ; '—.——.—.——.-' ] S |swift & Co. .. 21.10 | Vickers, L. 4.74 | Winter, E.
