You would tell your friends if RUX Compound brought you the relief you were wanting, wouldn’t you?—trusting that some of vour friends and neighbors would also profit. Well, it is for just this reason Mrs. Emma Conner, living at Fairview, N. C. (near Asheville) her experience with RUX and Williams Formula. She says: “Rheumatic-like pains seemed to follow a constipated, run-down feeling in my case. I have been distressed with all this upset and knew that I would have <?et lief in a number of ways to really feel satisfied. I am taking ooui RUX Compound and Williams Formula and I find that these two medicines are giving me splendid relief. I can eat so many more foods without gas and bloating pains, my rheumatic-like pains are being relieved, and my intestinal elimination stimulated. So you know why I am glad to tell my friends of the relief these medicines are bringing me.” Do This Now! You can’t expect relief from RUX or any medicine unless you try it. Now that this splendid medicine and also Williams For mula is available at your local drug store, it will cost only a few cents a dav to test them cor yourself. Always insist on the Genuine RUX COMPOUND, (liq uid), (in brown and yellow carton) for relief of Rheumatic, Neuritic and Neuralgic Pains.

By the end of July the number of new cars turned out in a 12- months period is • expected to equal the record production of 5,- 358,420 in 1929—and many dealers still are weeks behind in getting deliveries on orders already placed. On the road today there are about 27,000.000 registered cars— which is almost 4,000,000 more than the total registration in 1929. Of these, the automobile popula tion figures show that there are over a million of seven different makes of cars. There are 6,686,385 registered Fords, 6,460,474 Chev- rolets, 2,930,450 Plymouths, 1,500,- 118 Dodges, 1.422,060 Buicks, 1,- 239,587 Pontiacs and 1,074,270 Oldsmobiles. Along with the huge demand for new automobiles, which would ordinarily tax manufacturing facilities to the limit, the auto mobile manufacturers have also been called upon to produce $2,- 000,000,000, worth of defense equip ment. Public demand for new cars, plus government demand for de fense production, has again cen tered national attention on the automobile industry—the 30-year old giant which already has amazed the world with its demon stration of mass production effi ciency and is now gearing itself to be able to say, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” DEFENSE curtailment Uncle Sam likes to see the mam moth automobile industry strain ing its big muscles for record pro duction, but he wants it to apply all the strength it can muster up to making tanks, planes and guns. Fearing ever increasing demands for pleasure automobiles, the gov ernment therefore has issued or ders to cut production. Beginning August 1, most manufacturers have been ordered to produce 20 per cent less autompbiles than they did this year—in fact each manufacturer has been told just how many cars he will be permit ted to turn out and we now know, a year ahead of time, that the total number of automobiles to be made from August 1, 1941, to July 31, 1942, will be exactly 4,224,- 152. The next problem is to reduce public demand for new automo biles to this same figure, thus preventing prices from spiraling upward and at the same time steering part of increased pur chasing power into industries not engaged in defense and into the government treasury. Two possible ways in which the purchase of new automobiles will be discouraged are: (1) a heavy luxury tax cn automobiles, posslM:- amounting to as much as 20 per cent; (2) a curb on installment buying making it necessary to pay 50 per cent down and the balance over a period of not more than a year. These suggestions, plus possible scarcity of automobiles, have sent people rushing to automobile deal ers to get their orders in before the government acts. MATERIALS scarcity The automobile industry is the nation’s leading user of many raw materials which are essential to defense, and some of which are becoming scarce. That’s another reason why the government has ordered a cut in production. This means that substitute ma terials may soon have to be used in automobiles. The Office of Production Management already has asked the manufacturers to practice the greatest possible economy with certain critical ma terials such as aluminum, copper and nickel. In addition to the great use of these products which are becoming critical in defense production, the industry also used enormous quan tities of other essential materials, such as: 1,190,000 tons of gray iron; 595,000 long tons of crude rubber; 34,000,000 square feet of leather; 148,090,000 square feet of plate glass; and 7,535,000 tons of steel. We want new automobiles—but most of us would be glad to wear our shoes out walking if by doing so those tons of steel could be used to defeat Hitler. USED CARS popularity It looks like a big year for the used car business. If heavy taxes on automobile purchases are put through, if in stallment buying is curbed and if scarcity develops, purchasers will more and more do their buying at the used car markets. At present, it is estimated that almost half of the cars on the road were pur chased second hand. Dealers say they have to dispose of three used cars for each new car they sell. Before they get their profit out of a new car they must ordinarily sell a car traded in by the original purchaser, sell a second car traded in by purchaser of the first used car and then dis pose of a third used car to the junk yard.
