NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1916. y The Heavy Car Has Seen Its Day Time was when men believed it the proper thing to drive a big, heavy, massive car. They believed that it im- proved their standing in the community., They liked to know that people were saying, “There goes Mr. So-and-So in his big X——car. But listen tc the remarks as the same man goes by in his big car today. “Gee, that car must cost a heap to keep running”—or “I'd like to have what it costs him for tires” d_fir “I wouldn't buy a car of that weight if I had a million ollars.” This is public opinion based upon expericiice. The old order changes and gives way to the new. The heavy car had its day before buyers had gained experience. These were the days when cars were sold by salesmen, not bought by purchasers. Today men think for themselves. They buy because of what they know and not because of what the salesman tells them.

The impression that is near is gaining in strength Germany undoubtedly desires a tiement if satisfactory terms can arranged Unfortunately while positive efforts may be made in this cirection, the for immediate success is doubtful.

They had a full opportunity offensive and strike their strongest blow, without which it seems certain they will not consent to peace.

Reading continued to claim attention, initial sales com- prising several large blocks at frac- tionall gains and 100 shares at 104, an overnight advance of a point, from which it soon declined to 101 7-8 There were fai large offerings of | Kennecott and Inspiration Coppers at moderate gains and the rest of the active list, including the war shares 2nd other specialties, tended variably higher. The greater part of this ad- vance was lost, however, before the ¢nd of the first half hour. Further profit taking in standard shares and renewal of pressure against the speculative specialties imparted some heaviness to today's early trad- ing, but these conditions were largely overcome later, when the railways iist resumed its upward progress. The moderate dealings centered around Reading, Erie and the coppers at first, but gradually broadened, with pro- nounced strength in Canadian Pacific whise rose over five points, with 2% for “Soo” an allied line, and 1 Jjor Union Pacific.

Yet the fastest racing car in Amer- ica last year weighed just 2,200 pound! The same deal- ers will tell you that the heavy car rides easier. But ask the average man teday what is the easiest:riding car in America, and nine times out of ten he will answer—THE FRANKLIN ! The FRANKLIN idea for fourteen years has been— “Light Weight.” That it was always right is proven by the fact that every manufacturer is telling you how many pounds his car has been reduced.

Credit and loans have granted upon a gigantic scale, the return of seccurities, of which there he no accurate estimate, must also have been enormous in vol- ume; very large sums still being in the hands of local financial institu- tions as collateral. It is well known that American railroads, whose wants have lately been put at $1,000,000,000 vearly, have made unusually small security issues, for the reason that the ordinary investment demand for rail- road issues seems to have been amply satisfied by foreign offerings, besides which the high rates now commanded by capital discouraged new applica- tions.
