ROYLE NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Executives of the larger automobile companies returned to ther factories from the Chicago automobile show with their optimism increased for sales this year. The number of cars disposed of at Chicago was hervy and the in- terest manifeated by dealers was impressive. One leading producer said Monday that the ranks of those who had prédicted that the nineteen twenty four sales would not equal last year were being de- serted. Ford, Chevrolet and Oyer- land sales in January exceeded the expectations of these three com- panies and they expect between them, to turn out four million cars, It is now estimated that the re- wires run to the power plant, and the equipment is working perfectly, the city will have spent only the or- iginal cost of a medium low priced motor car. Isn't it worth that amount to make our busy corners safe for autoist and pedestrain? ae es to every type of evening affair with- out a murmur of protest being voiced. However, the man who possesses ‘a full dress sult need not feel anguish because he does not possess, a tuxedo to boot. The old order is returning and it is safe to wear your full dress sult to evening functions where the fair sex are also In attendance, as well as to a big banquet or reception to some distinguished personage. It is less embarrassing to be the only one Present wearing a full dress suit, then to be the sole tuxedo amon those attired in the full formal cos- tume. Mr. Mason believes that in th! country we will use Mghter and es powered cars, just as they we doing. in Europe, and points to recent American models such as the’ Rollin, Chrysler and new 6-cylinder to prove his contention. Such cars can carry five passengers {n somfort up to 50 miles an hour or nore, which is fast enough for any- bne. For greater sefety, Mr. Ma- ‘on has designed the new Mason Safety First” tire with 207 “safety wripé” that reduce skidding to a inimum even on the most slippery sphalt_pavements.
