The new. agency will be charge of Charles Midert, former'y with the local office. Mr, Midert will be assisted by a competent Cheyro- let mechanic, and indications are that the new branch will do a thriy- ing. business for sales of new cars, for the territory has been left long undeveloped by the Crevroiet.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Although there have. been many price in- creases put into effect by auto- mobile manufacturers in the last 60 days, there are a number of com- panies still planning advances in +] quotations. The makers have re- old saying, “The higher, and now are yelling “The fewer, the higher” as they boost the price. The’ trend, they say, is ainmistakfbly upward with the limit as yet-unfixed. Leading officials of the important companies explain that when sales and production are in heavy volume, costs decline in direct ratio to pro- duction increases. The reverse of this condition now is true, Pri established last summer and many of which are still in effe based on a sales volume which has not materialized. Dealers have been stocked up to the limit of safety arid, some financier® say, beyond it. The industry, therefore, is resigned joa sinalier output during the re- Mainder of the year. As costs are at or close to rock bottom, accord- ing to the manufacturers, the only way they can continue to make and Sell cars without getting into the hands of receivers, is to advance the prices of their products. In talking of costs in the same breath as rock bottom, however, the automobile men fail:to explain how it is that the Ford company, which has’been working its employes on ¢ five-day a week schedule for two months, has been able to turn out very nearly as many cars as when the workers labo: for six days a weel In support of the move, it has been said that the five-day week has enabled the Ford company to keep all {ts employes at work instead of t, were laying off some during .the dull’ period. But if output has been about the same as on a six-day schedule, this reasoning would seem to be unsound. It would seem that the Ford company has added to its at Ps profits a minimum of $5 a week least, for every one of the sco of thousands employed at a daily wage of $6 or more. Efficiency experts are watching the situation closely, feeling that if the labor cost can be cut one sixth in the Ford plants, immediate steps to revise operations in other fac tories and industries are necessary. They are also watching to seo if the Ford concern will demand a ‘arresponding increase when the {factories are returned to a six-day a week schedule.

The brightest spot on the motor vehicle horizon is the extensive pro- grams fow bus operations reported from cities all over the country. Buses of the type designed for city use cost about $9,000 each. One company alone which desires to operate in this city at this rate would be in the market for at least $9,000,000 worth of equipment.

By SPARK PLUG Throughout the long summer they have passed through the city in a steady stream. Each evening mem- bers of the nation-wide clan of tour- ists have moved slowly south on Durbin stréet to the modern camp which they know will afford them a night of thorough rest and a fresh start upon the scenic trail in the morning. We, of Casper, have taken their presence for granted. We have thought but little of the importance of that city-maintained camp, estab- lished and operated with our own money. There is, however, an inter- esting story connected with our. tour- ist camp, a story not only of finan- cial gain, but of almost unbelievable exploitation of the city through the number of people who registered this year, he city tourist camp opened the current season on June 10 an? is still “open for busines It wil formally close October 1, altho trar- fic is not expected to be particularly Palmer Johnson 442 East Yellowstone ures disclosed in an interview with Mrs. C, C.

Since the first of June, 13,056 peo- ple have eaten and slept in the local camp.

In the past three and one half months, Mrs. Larsch has deposited to the credit of tho city, $1,632 from camp fees alone. With this amount of money the city of Casper should be able to offer outside visitors the finest camp ground in the entire west upon the event of their 1925 visit. Probably the average resident knows Uttle or nothing of the ac- commodations offered the autoist by the camp ground equipment, Mrs, Larsch is proud of her domain, and justly so, for although it is not ideal- ly situated naturally, still it tains far more than the av 1 age in labor saying, modern equipment Located at the south end of Durbin streot, it_affords the newcomer an USED 1923 model Special Six Studebaker 1924 model 1924 model — 1922 model Chrysler Special Phaeton, model; driven two weeks 1921 model 226 So.

Everyone of them thoroughly appre- elated the conveniences offered then by the Casper camp and declared their intention of making another journey sometime in the future and including’ Casper in their itinery.” This year's total fell about 2000 under that of last year, wien the tourist record for Casper was hung up. In 1923 more than 18,000 peo- ple visited the camp. This slight de- cline may be attributed to the fact that in every section of the country the so-called business slump has been more or less marked and many folks who might have taken an auto journey felt disinclined to do so be- cause of adverse economical condi- tions.
