FEWER CARS SOLD ON TIME TODAY THAN IN 1925 The curious may find a wealth of information about the auto­ motive industry in the little vol­ ume "Facts and Figures" pub­ lished by the National Automo­ tive Chamber of Commerce. The 1929 edition contains the re­ markable statement that the pro­ portion of cars sold on the de­ ferred payment plan is smaller today than it was in 1925. Dur­ ing that year 65.5 per cent, of cars, new and used, were sold on time, while in 1928 the propor­ tion was only 59.5 per cent. Sixty-four per cent of 1929's automobiles have seventy or more horsepower, says the hand­ book, while only twelve per cent, have less than fifty horsepower. Announcements of 1930 cars in­ dicate that the average power will be considerably greater than in 1929. Miss Blackstock, who has been residing at 13th and Clyde, moved on Friday to Vancouver.
