A recent study of 40,000 used car salesconducted by Motor Magazine produces figures that are of interest to every car owner and 'every pros- pective buyer. Among the findings it ' is discovered that used cars are declining in market value at a slight- ly faster rate than the five-year av- erage and also that the age of the average used car traded in approach- ing four years. It is noted that at the end of the first year the decrease in market value of a closed car in any price group is equal to approxi- mately one-third the current new car price. During the second year a fur- ther decline of about 17 per cent. takes place; this making resale value of the two-year-old car approximate- liammovem ly one-half the current new car price. The third year sees a further decline of 14 per cent. and the three-year- old hree-.yearold is Worth one-third of the new 'car price. At the end of four years,. the car is worth one-quarter of the. new car price and reaches "scrap" condition between' tit; ci. -th and sev- enth years, THE WORLD'S LARGEST HOG Hoping to . show the world's big- gest hog at the Chicago World's Fair Walter Chappell, Jackson, Tenn., had been feeding his ' big Poland -China, boar a diet that he hoped would bring him to 3,000 pounds by fair time.
