Auctionhouses in Kansas City and surrounding states move vast volumes of used cars weekly with prices climbing well above prewar levels. Dealers import cars from the east to resell to smaller markets. 1941 sedans and coupes fetch about 500 dollars more than their original prices, while older models bring strong sums. Prices escape wartime ceilings, widening profit margins and prompting concerns about inexperienced buyers. A separate note reports an indictment against Rohn Aluminum & Brass Corp. and three employees for alleged war material mispractice.
