Dull Business Seas on Is Held To Be But Normal Reaction of Vigorous Speculative Inflation — Motor Industry Proves Re- sourceful Despite Over- Expansion Experienced During Past Year. BY W. H. MOOREHOUSE New York, April 14 (UP)—Will the period of recuperation be a long drawn out affair? To this question the pessimistic observer would quick- ly answer “Yes.” The optimistic en- thusiast would readily respond with an emphatic “No.” -1t would be far more expedient therefore to offer this compromise—it all depends upon the many inter-related factors of which construction, the automo- tive industry, moncy and credit, and the stock market are the more im- portant. In view of what happened | during the past few months let us see how far we have gone and what | business prospecis really are. | After such vigorous speculation and inflation as experience. throughout 1929, a resting period | was not only natural hut decidedly | essential. It was (o he expected that there would he many months| when business activity would con- tinue below the normal trend.

Cheap money is| stimulating these plans. The casing | in money and the public undertak- ings, in turn. will encourage private | business to cxpand operations The motor industry presents many complex problems. Notwith- standing over-expansion in 1920 which is undergoing a most severe readjustment, this industry has proven itself to be one of the mos resourceful. For immediate presenl, a bright spot in the motor industry 1s| the sincere effort now being made to eliminate wasteful over-produc- | tion. The current reduction in in-| ventories also is a long step in tho | right direction.

A Packard Standard Eight, priced even at twice as much as the car you are now driving, costs no more in the final analysis — if you keep it twice as long. Here is the real secret of Packard ownership: Buy a Packard Standard Eight. Drive it for a year or two longer than was your habit with lower priced vehicles. Net cost is the same —and you have the supreme enjoyment of Packard petform- ance, Packard luxury and Packard distinction. But what about operating costs? It costs no more to drive the Packard than any other car of like size. Gas, oil and tire expenses are no greater. Neither are the costs of license, insurance, garaging and repairs, in the aggregate. Slightly higher insurance charges for the Packard are offset by the lower repair costs which result from Packard quality. Clearly Packard ownership costs no more. This means that in driving your car of similar size and trading it in every two years or so you are actually paying Packard transpor- tation costs. Then why Mot have the Packard, with its unchanging, always-modern beauty, its year after year of superb performance? Your present car accepted as cash You can take possession of your Packard Standard Eight with no cash outlay, if your present car is of average value ot better—for it will make or exceed the down payment. The remainder may be arranged on convenient monthly terms. The price of the most popular model of the Packard Stand- ard Eight—the five-passenger Sedan —is but $2485 at the factory. Ten other body styles are available on the 1274 and 134%-inch wheelbases at from $2425 to $2885. ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS ONB oneyman Auto Sales Co. 200 EAST MAIN ST. TELEPHONE 2542
