THOUSANDS ASK LOW NUMBERS ON AUTO TAGS State Department Swamped by Requests; Sale to Start Thursday. in addition to the countless problems attendant on placing of sale within twenty-four hours of 900,000 license automobile plates, Secretary of State Frederick Schortemeier was puzzled today by the hundreds of letters received from motorists throughout the State asking that they be given low numbers on their tags. Approximately 100,000 requests for the low numbers—that is, those under 10,000 —have been received by Schortemeier, who says that consequently only about 10 per cent of the requests could be granted. "We usually have set Dec. 5 as the deadline when persons could apply for either low numbers or the same numbers they had last year, but the requests have become so heavy that it is possible that something will have to be done to forbid the showing of any such favors in the future,” he said. Final instructions have been given the 200) persons assigned to the Statehouse and 112 sub-stations who will be in charge when the tags go on sale Thursday. If all the tags are sold, the State will receive $5,330,000, the largest amount for the sale of licenses in its history. “The widespread use of the automobile may be visualized when you compare the number of tags sold in 1914 with this year, Schortemeier said. ”In 1914 only 66,000 automobiles of all classes were registered. This year we have prepared to issue licenses for 900,000. “The sales of the tags is becoming one of the- greatest problems of the State department.” The sales season will close Feb. 1.

How often have you heard the expression, "Walt till my ship comes ini” And with what difference of meaning! To some it represents a vague hope that somehow, some time, Good Fortune—fuU blown—will seek them out. Will literally throw itself into their laps. But not to more practical minds. They know that when their ship comes in, its one cargo will be Opportunity. They know that Opportunity is not a fickle thing. But that it comes to the fellow who prepares for it. They spend their time preparing a bollard—a “hitching post” in the shape of a Savings Account—to tie it to. This old, substantial Savings and Loan Association has helped hundreds meet Opportunity half way—and it can help YOU.
