Excuse me a minute.” “Well, how's everything?" “Fine; back in a minute.” Are cars coming in at all? “Just fair; wait till I answer this phone.” That's a fair sample of a conver. sation with Edward Shenberg, sales manager extraordinary of the Mitch ell Motor and Service company, who has taken over the job of running new car sales From meagre scraps of conversa tion gleaned on the run, Eddy im parted the facts that new car sales are running heavier this month than in any other month in the history of the Mitchell business. Also, used cars are in great demand, and the market is stiffening rapidly Immediate Delivery A lot of little cars prove disappointments even to their makers, It's not easy to duplicate the riding quality and performance of a big car in a smaller one; at least it isn’t often done muccessfully, But the Westontt “Lighter Six” is absolutely the same car as the Westcott ‘Larger Six” excepi in size only. We're putting our reputation as readily behind the emailer car as we've already put it behind the bigger one. Westcott, in both sizes, is not pnly the car with a longer life, but the car with less trouble and more sofid satisfaction during very ons of its many years of long life.
