Toledo No Advance In Price . ‘ The price of the big, powerful Overland Six (Model 86) will not be advanced. Prices of other Sixes are advancing. Prices of Sixes recently { announced on new models, are higher. In fact, comparatively } figuring, prices of practically all Sixes are now far in excess of the Overland. On the basis of present prices of raw materials a Six of the Overland quality would have to sell at a much higher price. i But due to a little foresight in purchasing we escaped having jums for raw materials—hence the price of the to pay Overl Six is not increased. ‘This in spite of the fact that prices of all steels are up from 100% to 150%; that the price of aluminum has gone from about 20 cents a pound to over 50 cents a pound; that the price of copper has more than doubled; that tires and other accessories bhave had a sharp advance. We cannot guarantee that this present price of $1145 will hold indefinitely. The serious condition of the material market makes that ampossible. But the quality is not lowered; and for the present price is not advanced. ust compare the size, power, flexibility and quality of the Over{nnd Six motor; the length of the wheelbase—the seating capacity, the veniences improvements finish, the equipment, the comforts, the con- eqof the Overland Six with all others and you'll find no valid reason for paying more than $1145 for a six cylinder automobile, M.

COLCHESTER Boston Man With His Machinist Looks Over Factory—Town Votes to Exempt New Industries from Taxation for Ten Years. The man from Boston, who was in town last week looking over the fac- tory sites, was here Thursday, bring- ing his mechanics with him. The committee of the board of trade met them at the station and they were taken to the old shoe factory, which they thoroughly inspected and were more than plcased with the building and site and spoke very favorably of locating here. The concern would em- ploy about 200 hands. The town as it is today is practically dead as far as industries are concerned and with such an industry as the one wishins to locate here the old town would be- §in to take on more life and get back to where it onoce stood when the rub- ber mill was running. A' special town meeting was held on P evening at 7.80 o'clock in Grange hall to see what action the town would take on abating the taxes of any company wishing. to locate here for-the purpose of manufactur- ing. There was a fair attendance. The meeting was ed by First Se- lectman 8. H. Khioge. Town Clerk John Condren was clerk. A resolution was read by Hon.
