Tho growth of the postal bus enss in North Platte has boon such that employes are much hampered in their work by lack of room and whit a 30x60 addition would provide moro additional space than is now needed, It would bo nono too largo in. tho niirftft nf n fnw mnrn vnnra WlinMinn tho recommendation of tho inspector will receive prompt attention and the addition authorized is not of courso known. 1 Tho Inspector also recommendco. that the Interior of tho federal liulld ing bo repainted and that tho soft marble on the floor be taken out and replaced with a harder substance. . ::o:: I have a buyer for a quarter see. tion of good farm land with or with out improvements south of south rlv r. Clabaugh, 618 Dewey. 39-4 Protect I huve just returned from a trip of investigation of thb motor car situation, 'and I.find that thero is a marked short ' age of good cars everywhere. This is most marked among the Big Six, those cars being the old standard cars, which for years have predominated in their respective price classes. I have tho pleasure to represent two of these popular sellers in North Platte Dodge Brothers and Chandler s motor cars. The Dodge shortage is universal, witli the factory pro ducing GOO cars a day, they are 100 per cent oversold, and the Omaha distributor reported the immediate need of 500 Dodge cars. Dodge shipments to me have been good, but t- the domamhis OYerwhclming.vHyvonly- suggestion to jqu is to get your car ordered today, and I will make delivery to you In the' order.of the receipt of your signed order. I nlso found Chandler dealers everywhere oversold, in the larger centers running into hundreds of cars.. The new models, with their beautiful lines and complete equip ment have taken the market by storm. Buyers generally know that it is the only high grade six which can still bo bought at last years's prices, $1795, factory, whicli is from $200 ttf $800 lower than any comparable car, and in many instances lower than many other assembled cars, which a year and a half ijgo sold for much less. Extreme value for tho price is the reason for present Chandler over-demand. The "Dispatch" four passenger Speedster model is far ov er sold, and an order today will obtain a factory delivery for you about the 1st of July. An early order for a touring car will obtain a quicker delivery. Use your own judgment under tltese conditions. I am trying to hold a demonstrator of both Dodge and Chandler and you may test either out at your convenience, without any obligation to buy.
