Higher Purchasing Power Is Reflected — i Indianapolis, May 19 - Increased purchasing power In Indians, particularly in the smaller towns and farming communities, is reflected in Ford V-8 retail deliveries for | April, according to R. A. Hayes, I Ford Motor company Indianapolis branch manager. in the branch territory, which Includes nearly all of Indiana and a few Illinois counties, total retail deliveries of Ford V-8 passenger cars, trucks, and commercial cars in April ran 30 per cent higher In number than in April 1936, and gained 4.7 per cent on March 1937. Tile increase iu sales over March, Mr. Hayes stated, wus obtained c7ilefly outside the large cities. 1 This was indicated by the fact that the registrations of all major ; makes were lower in Marion county during April than in March, in i' contrast to the increases In the farming communities. The Ford ' Marion county decrease was much less than tliat of any other major make, he said. Trade In 9 Good Town — Decatue B J I uffirnwH Phone 300 1315 VV. Adams
