I uL.adkJLkiL ■lit AUTO BUYERS HIT EXTREMES IN PRICE HIGH PRICED CARS AND FORDS SELL—MEDIUM PRICED QO BEGGING. In interviewing different automobile dealers ln Amherst and nearby towne we have discovered many surprising thing. It would seem, inasmuch aa money haa been plentiful and conditions good, that people who are able would buy the higher priced cars, that the medium priced machlnea are not selling as rapidly as they might be expected to do. It seems that people are more careful with their money than they were during the war and think they can get along without the new machine. The low priced cars are selling rap- Idly, and the sales of the very expensive cars are increasing, but the medium priced automobiles seem to be decreasing ln demand. The Ford dealers say they are sell- tog more cars than they ever did before and the sales are increasing all the time. This shows, too, that tha people are changing lu their opinion of the Ford and are realising its value as an economical car. Others dealers of medium priced cars say that their sales are smaller this year than usual and that more people are buying second hand cars. The dealers of the high priced can report that they are selling more than ever before. This shows that when the American people want something good, they want the best, hence the extremes in buying automobiles. All dealers in second hand cars and men in repair work are doing a big business and will continue to do so as long as the prices of now cars remain at the present high mark. J. PECK PINCHES SPEEDERS ON LAKE SHORE ROAD Justice of the Peace, Julius Peck of Brownhelm was busy Sunday taking care of speeders who were brought ln. Six drivers of automobiles were arrested on the lake road near Brownhelm by deputy sheriffs Banning and Billings and were brought to the office of Justice Jeck who convicted them and assessed fines in varying amounts. Many complaints have been made since the warm weather started by the people living along the country roads, about the speeding and from now on men will be employed to patrol the roads and do away with this practice. BAND WANTS TO 6IVE WEEKLY CONCERTS NO ONE PREPARE THE WAY FOR THEM TO DO 80—HAVE BEST BAND IN YEARS. The Amherat city band would ilka to give weekly band concerts, starting very soon aa haa teen the custom in yeara past. Tha financial condition, however, haa been v»ry hard to moat In the paat yeara S#+ wr-tefore thoy start anything thla year they have decided tlfat something must be done In the way of getting money to pay expenses the whole season. The band haa been practicing hard and feels that they have the best band ln yeara. They are at the point where they are able to give tbe people good mualc. This cannot be done, however, without funds, as some money is needed to meet ordinary expenses of playing once a week In public. In past yeara many people have looked forward to the regular weekly band concerts and now since none have been held this year, they are beginning to inquire the cause of the discontinuance. The band has asked the village council to find some way by which this entertainment can be supplied the people of Amherst without placing so much responsibility and trouble on the band men. Amherst haa some fine band talent and when they do their beat to furnish tbe musical organization, aurely they should be encouraged and helped ln every possible way instead ot being made to work greater part of the concerts themselves and took up collections to help out. This should not be necessary. It is the part of some public spirited citizens to get busy and aee that the band boys are allowed to continue the weekly concerts aa ln former years.

AUTO BUYERS HIT
EXTREMES IN PRICE
HIGH PRICED CARS AND FORDS
SELL—MEDIUM PRICED
QO BEGGING.
In interviewing different automobile
dealers ln Amherst and nearby towne
we have discovered many surprising
thing. It would seem, inasmuch aa
money haa been plentiful and conditions good, that people who are able
would buy the higher priced cars,
that the medium priced machlnea are
not selling as rapidly as they might
be expected to do. It seems that people are more careful with their money
than they were during the war and
think they can get along without the
new machine.
The low priced cars are selling rap-
Idly, and the sales of the very expensive cars are increasing, but the medium priced automobiles seem to be
decreasing ln demand.
The Ford dealers say they are sell-
tog more cars than they ever did before and the sales are increasing all
the time. This shows, too, that tha
people are changing lu their opinion
of the Ford and are realising its value
as an economical car. Others dealers
of medium priced cars say that their
sales are smaller this year than usual
and that more people are buying
second hand cars.
The dealers of the high priced can
report that they are selling more than
ever before. This shows that when
the American people want something
good, they want the best, hence the
extremes in buying automobiles.
All dealers in second hand cars and
men in repair work are doing a big
business and will continue to do so
as long as the prices of now cars
remain at the present high mark.
J. PECK PINCHES SPEEDERS
ON LAKE SHORE ROAD
Justice of the Peace, Julius Peck
of Brownhelm was busy Sunday taking care of speeders who were brought
ln. Six drivers of automobiles were
arrested on the lake road near Brownhelm by deputy sheriffs Banning and
Billings and were brought to the office
of Justice Jeck who convicted them
and assessed fines in varying amounts.
Many complaints have been made
since the warm weather started by
the people living along the country
roads, about the speeding and from
now on men will be employed to patrol
the roads and do away with this
practice.
BAND WANTS TO 6IVE
WEEKLY CONCERTS
NO ONE PREPARE THE WAY FOR
THEM TO DO 80—HAVE
BEST BAND IN YEARS.
The Amherat city band would ilka to
give weekly band concerts, starting
very soon aa haa teen the custom in
yeara past. Tha financial condition,
however, haa been v»ry hard to moat
In the paat yeara S#+ wr-tefore thoy
start anything thla year they have
decided tlfat something must be done
In the way of getting money to pay
expenses the whole season.
The band haa been practicing hard
and feels that they have the best
band ln yeara. They are at the point
where they are able to give tbe people
good mualc. This cannot be done,
however, without funds, as some
money is needed to meet ordinary expenses of playing once a week In
public. In past yeara many people
have looked forward to the regular
weekly band concerts and now since
none have been held this year, they
are beginning to inquire the cause of
the discontinuance.
The band has asked the village
council to find some way by which
this entertainment can be supplied
the people of Amherst without placing
so much responsibility and trouble
on the band men. Amherst haa some
fine band talent and when they do
their beat to furnish tbe musical organization, aurely they should be encouraged and helped ln every possible
way instead ot being made to work
greater part of the concerts themselves
and took up collections to help out.
This should not be necessary. It is
the part of some public spirited citizens to get busy and aee that the
band boys are allowed to continue
the weekly concerts aa ln former
years.
