pretty low INCREASES Although Canadian Tire has not raised its prices yet other outlets have stated the price of freeze is increasing every Dean Pa tier manager at Central Auto Supply said he thinks his wholesale outlet will be able to get more freeze but the price will be higher I did a lot of looking and managed to find a source of freeze However each shipment we receive costs about cents more than the previous one If supplies really get low the price will soar The sup pliers want the best dollar they can get so we want the stuff we really have to pay for it Bill Smith at Smith Automotive said he has not yet experienced many problems with obtaining freeze but be isn too optimistic about the future There is a very good possibility some motorists are going to find it impossible to get freeze by January or February We have stock right now but there is really no guarantee we can get more in As far as prices go we ve done pretty well compared to other centres In Brampton prices have gone up a dollar at some outlets manager at is rather proud of the manner in which he handled the shortage this year I first read of the possible shortage some time ago so I ordered a lot more than I
