Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 70, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 May 1909 — Wanted; Very Badly; Several Automobiles. [ARTICLE]

Wanted; Very Badly; Several Automobiles.

The automobile factories can not supply the demand. Under these conditions the price is not apt to go down. The congestion of orders began in the winter and has been gettaing worse ever since. Rensselaer agents have found many buyers and have taken their orders, but very few machines have been received. No hurry-up orders have any bearing. The factories, one and all, smiply tell their agents that they must await their turn, and if they are not satisfied they can cancel their orders. Billy Bringle has been waiting a long time for a Buick, William Washburn has been waiting for a Cadillac, John Marlatt has been after a few Fords, and the agents of other machines are in the same boat. Plenty of buyers and all of (hem wanting them the worst way is the report all the agents are making. William Washburn, William Bringle and John Marlatt went to Chicago Tuesday morning to try to expedite the delivery of a few cars. Another year will see a still greater demand in all probability and the fellow that wants one had better get his order in a long ways ahead. Since automobiles are here to stay, we are of the opinion that Rensselaer could not do better than to get an auto factory. The, name “Rensselaer” would look good, sound good and sell good on a motor car. Here is a hunch for the Commercial Club.
