has new models of its cars we believe the public can be easily convinced by a demonstration or even by a glance that they have not been reduced in quality or eye appeal over other models we have became accustomed to We believe the 1942 models are every bit good or better cars than any previously placed on the We advise Ruston people needing new automobiles to buy now with National leaders continually warn there will be a short age within a few months and we expect they are correct because materials vital to defense are used in their manu A fifty cut will still allow as many cars to be built as were put on the market during the depression years and a further reduction of onehalf that number would even then produce as many new machines as were sold before the So we can console ourselves with the knowledge that there will be plenty of cars for tho real and vital needs of and only our ex pansion must be Most Ruston dealers have been advised to instruct their customers they would have about onehalf the cars for sale as were delivered to them last year and with this in mind we suggest early arrangements be made if purchas es are considered necessary this fall and We have
