DULLS AGAIN LEAD ; ON WHEAT MARKET

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, March 31. Disappointment over the failure of expected rains, especially in Nebraska, gave an advantage today to the bulla in wheat. Sentiment in favor of higher prices was also encouraged by the war' put: look. Advances, however-'were check' ed in a measure by predictions of showers in Kansas. Opening quotations, which ranged from off to, up with May at $1.95 to $1-96 and July at $1.63 Va to .$L64; were followed by a substantial rise all around and then a moderate-reaction. ' j-V""

WeJFairfield "six-46! 1375 &oTotr.

Now is the Time to Buy Your "Six-46"

Let us again urge you to place your order for a Fairfield "Six-46" as soon as you possibly can. Don't wait too long don't be too sure that you can buy to just as good advantage thirty or sixty days from now. For remember there were three purchasers for each "Six-46" that we could turn out last year. And, up to the present time, there is every indication that this "sold out" condition will be repeated. Then, also remember that the cost of manufacturing materials and labor is still soaring. Already, several manufacturers have found it necessary to increase the list price of their cars, and more announcements of this kind are undoubtedly coming. By early buying, we have done everything that we possibly could to protect ourselves and you. But in the face of a constantly rising market, we may be: forced to increase prices proportionately. ' From the present outlook there is no other alternative for we flatly refuse to compromise on the quality of our cars. We; shall continue to use only the best jnaterials no matter how

far the commodity prices may advance. Of one thing you can be certain the Paige "Six-46" will never cost less than $1295 this year. We absolutely guarantee this, but we can't undertake to guarantee against an advance. Above all, please understand that this advertisement is written in a sincerely helpful spirit It is by no means our purpose to "stampede" motor car buyers into early or ill-advised purchases. , We are merely telling you the factsfacts that can be readily substantiated by your banker or any man who is well informed in regard to industrial . conditions. We want you to drive a Paige, of course, but we have never found it necessary to resort tor "expedients" in order to sell a single car of our production. The "Six-46" now costs $1295. At that, price, we honestly believe that it represents more actual dollar-for-dol-lar value than any other motor car on the market Wait too long and you run the risk of paying more. Place your order now, and you can rest assured that you will never regret the decision. -
