"Ti1is is going to be a merchandising year in the motor trade," he says, "and the prizes are going to the companies which prove themseln·s to be the best merchants. It is highly probable that 5,000,000 new car~ will be made and sold between now and next Kew Year'!> Day. If this figure is reached, it will be a new high record for the industry." Hanson Keeps Pace With Modem Equipment Ideas When Carl Hanson of Hanson Motors, 515 Chestnut street, Winnetka, isn't busy extolling the virtues of the Graham-Paige he i.; to be found busy in his well equipped garage.
