in the united states and canada , a franchised new-car and - truck dealership is a retailer that sells new and also possibly used cars , including certified preowned vehicles , employs trained automotive technicians , and offers financing .

in the united states , direct manufacturer auto sales are prohibited in almost every state by franchise laws requiring that new cars be sold only by dealers .

used car dealerships carry cars from many different manufacturers , while new car dealerships are generally franchises associated with only one manufacturer .

some new car dealerships may carry multiple brands from the same manufacturer .

in some locales , dealerships have been consolidated and a single owner may control a chain of dealerships representing several different manufacturers .

new car dealerships also sell used cars , and take in trade-ins and/or purchase used vehicles at auction .

most dealerships also provide a series of additional services for car buyers and owners , which are sometimes more profitable than the core business of selling cars .

utah and texas : a dealership must not sell cars either saturday or sunday . most choose to close on sunday . michigan : the law states if a dealership is located in a county that has a population below 130 , 000 , it can sell cars on sunday . there is another exception for anyone who observes the sabbath on a different day . nevada : there is no statewide ban on sunday sales except that franchised car dealerships in clark county do have to close on sunday . that is a county ordinance , not a state statute , and it does not apply to used - only dealerships . clark county is north las vegas , las vegas and henderson . rhode island : allowed , open from noon to 6 p . m . maryland : allowed in 4 of 26 counties ( montgomery , charles , prince george and howard ) . north dakota : dealers can be open , but no car sales allowed . therefore most dealerships are closed on sundays .

automakers ' policies for dealing with dealerships that sell to exporters vary . porsche issues a chargeback beginning only with a dealership ' s third such sale in a given year , morgan said .
dealerships say they feel pressured by automakers to ask shoppers questions that are pointed , personal—and perhaps illegal—to ensure the car won’t be sold to a straw buyer , e . g . are you really the kind of person who throws down cash to drive off in a sweet ride ?
rethinkx ' s seven - year timeline for the extinction of dealerships may feel a bit too soon for those who can ' t comprehend not owning their own car , but arbib insists the change is coming quicker than you might expect .
to generate interest in the redesigned range rover that goes on sale in march , land rover hosted lavish dinners and receptions this fall in homes of 12

consumers today use their cars as all - purpose vehicles , whether they are commuting alone to work or taking the whole family to the beach . in the future , they may want the flexibility to choose the best solution for a specific purpose , on demand and via their smartphones . we already see early signs that the importance of private - car ownership is declining : in the united states , for example , the share of young people ( 16 to 24 years ) who hold a driver’s license dropped from 76 percent in 2000 to 71 percent in 2013 , while there has been over 30 percent annual growth in car - sharing members in north america and germany over the last five years .
ftc decided to retain its used car rule , which requires automobile dealers to post important warranty information in

tesla wrote on its blog ,

that string could be in jeopardy , however . the national automobile dealers assn . expects u . s . sales to drop to 17 . 1 million vehicles in 2017 as interest rates and vehicle prices rise . large numbers of cars coming off leases will hit the used - car market next year , putting pressure on new - car sales . and more buyers are opting for longer loans , so they won ' t be returning to dealerships anytime soon .

the buyers guide must be displayed prominently and conspicuously on or in a vehicle when a car is available for sale . this means it must be in plain view and both sides must be visible . you can hang the guide from the rear - view mirror inside the car or on a side - view mirror outside the car . you also can place it under a windshield wiper . the guide also can be attached to a side window . a guide in a glove compartment , trunk or under the seat is not conspicuous because it is not in plain sight .

berliner chic also evokes a sense of social and urban identity , female labour , jewish extermination during the third reich , and last but not least , by lending its name to an exhibition that told the history of the city through its clothes , it also evokes stories of museal and institutional strives and achievements on the path of establishing berlin as a fashion capital .
the history of the berlin fashion industry is a turbulent roller - coaster of ups and downs . tracing the locations of berliner chic throughout the city , one cannot help encountering the conceptual and theorized ghosts ( ladd ) and voids ( huyssen ) of berlin , as well as findind completely new “scenes . ” as fashion migrates throughout the city , one occasionally stumbles upon former fashion sites that are remnants of a lesser known history . some of these sites will guide us through the locational history of berlin fashion .
around 1860 hausvogteiplatz had 20 clothing manufacturing businesses , ten years later there were twice as many . by 1875 berlin - made clothes were exported to holland , england , sweden , switzerland and usa ( berlin museum – short guide : collections to the history of art and culture from the 16 th century to the present day , berlin : berlin museum , 1987 , p . 100 - 106 ) . the berlin textile industry was mostly jewish because jewish immigrants came to berlin from posen around 1820 ( gretel wagner , 114 ) , and because up until the 19 th century jews in germany were restricted from most professions , except trade and retail . this system of producing relatively inexpensive clothes for a wide range of customers was new and distinctly different from the custom - made , tailored clothing that used to be created for the select few wealthy customers who could afford them .
hermann gerson , valentin manheimer , and rudolph hertzog were the first to start with the production - line manufacture of coats , capes and mantillas . around the turn of the century , berlin fashion - designers achieved an annual turnover of some 200 million marks . of the 600 textile - manufacturing firms in germany at that time , some 500 were in berlin .
the world - wide economic crisis of 1929 and the coming to power of the national - socialists put an end to the first chapter of the history of berlin fashion . from 1933 onwards , the jewish konfektionsindustrie was subjected to anti - semitic discrimination , boycotts , vandalism , and eventual extermination . in 1930 , the german word “konfektion” was out - lawed ; and locally manufactured female lingerie was advertised with an emphasis on “arian . ” many manufacturers left the country ; those who did not , were deported to concentration camps . 4000 jews from the berlin textile industry were killed in the camps .
the immediate producers of berlin clothing were seamstresses : women and girls of the lower social strata . by 1896 there were 155 , 000 women employed in the konfektionsindustrie . by mid - 1920s there were 80 , 000 businesses with about 200 , 000 employees , most of whom worked in sweat - shop conditions ( from home ) , for minimal wages , for ( male ) manufacturers .
according to uwe westphal , 49 . 8 % of the konfektion businesses were jewish - owned . all of them were either closed or aryanised . auerbach & steinitz sold their firm to hans gehringer and emigrated in 1939 . hermann schwichtenberg took over the firm of hansen bang , who left for new york . leo zaduck also escaped abroad , came back in 1945 and together with his daughter reopened his business in berlin , which remained open until 1970 . gerson was mentioned in fashion magazines until 1939 , after that changed to horn ( gretel wagner , 126 ) .
even after 1933 , internationally - influenced fashion was made and worn . all influential magazines of the time , such as die dame , elegante welt , der silberspiegel , die neue linie , reported on the parisian haute couture until the outbreak of war . even the september 1939 issue of silberspiegel reported on a fashion shows at lelong , creed and patou .
today , hausvogteiplatz is a tree - lined square with a fountain encircled by benches , just a 5 - minute walk from gendarmenmarkt and galeries lafayette on friedrichstrasse . one of the few original buildings , haus zur berolina , was reconstructed and modernized in 1997 . the jüdische allgemeine newpaper ( whose first editor in chief was karl marx ) is published here by the rudolf - mosse - verlag , resuming the tradition since 1837 .
an info - board , erected in 1994 behind the entrance of the hausvogteiplatz subway station , commemorates the extermination of the jewish konfektionsindustrie . in 1995 an art competition for a monument was won by rainer görss , his sculpture “denkzeichen modezentrum hausvogteiplatz” ( memorial of the fashion center hausvogteiplatz ) was erected in 2000 . three double - sided mirrors form a triangle ; inside the triangle , at the foot of each mirror is a metal text - plate , informing about the fate of the jewish manufacturers . on the steps of the subway entrance are names and addresses of jewish fashion houses . some are left black to indicate that the information is not complete , because some manufactures disappeared without a trace . in berlin , history and memory are written into the surfaces of its buildings and squares .
after the blockade , berlin’s senate decided to invest into the fashion industry in order to create jobs for the 60 , 000 trained professionals and to boost an industry that was based on consumption . most workers received 80 pfenige an hour , some women home - workers were paid a lower wage per item sewn ( for the sewing of a jacket in 1949 a home worker received 1 , 80 dm ) . the charlottenburg heimatmuseum exhibition also displayed a permit by the british military government ( for trade and industry ) , which stated : “authority is hereby granted for the following business to operate : claussen - kleider , berlin w 15 , kurfürstendamm 217 . products authorised : manufacture of dresses , costumes and coats for ladies and children . maximimum number of employees authorised : 62 ( september 1946 ) . ”
five months before the berlin wall was built , berliner morgenpost reported on the designer hans w . claussen in an article , entitled “berlin – capital of fashion” : “as a young man , hans w . claussen came to berlin , where he apprentised at hausvogteiplatz ( then the center of fashion ) and eventually opened his own fashion business before the war . thrice was he bombed out , and thrice began from scratch . in 1945 , with only a backpack , he gathered his fabrics for a new beginning and a new collection from the various warehouses” ( berliner morgenpost , 26 . 3 . 1961 ) .
“every fifth charlottenburg worker was employed by the fashion industry . far from the 90 % production height of 1939 , the west - berlin dob reached the production height in 1961 of 40 % of the total clothing manufacturing production in germany . ten years later , the west - berlin dob production sank to 16 % . the downfall of the fashion industry continued in the 1970s and 80s with only 50 fashion businesses , employing aproximately 3000 workers . on 13 . august 1961 the berlin fashion industry lost 7700 employees“ ( kleider machen frauen , 11 ) .
when the wall was erected in 1961 , and west - berlin lost half its workers from the soviet zone , the fashion industry had just gotten back on its feet . after 1961 , the west - berlin fashion industry experienced a steady decline . in 1978 the missing floor of the bikinihaus was filled in to create more room for the art exhibition space that was housed there from then on . since 2001 , the bayerische immobilien gruppe ( bavarian real estate group ) that owns zoobogen - ensemble has been planning to restore the fashion building to its former glory and use it for more retail spaces . in 1997 , the zoobogen area has been declared a heritage site , and can only be re - modelled from inside . the lower floors ( including the parking lot in the basement ) are supposed to contain a shopping mall , yet currently hold a number of discount stores .
by the 1960s the berlin konfektionsindustrie was second largest in berlin economy . heinrich mohr , the first director of berliner dob stated : “i will never forget the 8 th of may 1945 . that afternoon we , a small group of survivors , stood in front of the rubble of our stores at hausvogteiplatz and statred at the ruins . ” ( susa ackermann , couture in deutschland – streiflichter aus dem deutschen modeschaffen . münchen : perlen - verlag , 1961 , 23 ) . a whole industry was resurected from the ruins .
post - war berlin fashion industry was also a product of the economic miracle . by 1956 there were 450 fashion businesses registered with the dob association , with 60 , 000 employees ( ruth haber , “die modestadt berlin nach 1945 , ” in berliner chic , 78 ) . still based on zwischenmeister and home seamstresses , the industry resumed and flourished again . in march 1957 , dob - produced fashion was presented at the dorchester hotel in london . in may 1965 , dob fashion was presented at the plaza hotel in new york city . in 1962 , the dob association celebrated the 125 th anniversary of fashion production in berlin ( 1837 - 1962 ) .
on 13 . august 1961 the berlin wall was erected and cut off the soviet sector from the western zones . many of the seamstresses came from the east . overnight , the berlin fashion industry lost more than half of its employees ; a loss it never fully recovered from . in the late 1960s claussen and schwichtenberg closed their businesses , followed by staebe - seger in 1971 . the “shining years” were over ( ruth harber 141 ) . in 1982 the mode - messe - gesellschaft ( fashion fair society ) was established in berlin . between 1983 and 1990 “off - line” fashion fair took place at the funkturm in west - berlin . in 1991 the “moda berlin” fair was organized . with the establishment of the munich fashion week in 1959 , berlin tried to keep up with its own fashion fair “interchic” in 1969 , which lasted until 1982 . after reunification , in 1998 , the “verband berliner createure” ( vbc ) was established , and represented at the berliner chic exhibition at the museum ephraim palais in 2002 .
located on the corner of brunnenstrasse and invalidenstrasse , just a block away from where the wall stood along bernauerstrasse , the former gdr fashion institute is now a large empty commercial real - estate space with a sign in the window : “laden - und gastronomiefächen ab 200m²” ( store and gastronomy spaces for rent ) . formally a luxurious 5 - storey department store , warenhaus jandorf ( warenhaus am weinberg ) , established by adolf jandorf in 1904 ( 3 years before jandorf built kadewe – kaufhaus des westens ) , it was sold to retailer hermann tietz in 1927 . between 1938 and 1945 the department store was taken over by the “union vereinigter kaufstätten” ( union of department stores ) . relatively undamaged by the war , it became the “haus der mode” ( house of fashion ) of the gdr . in 1955 an international fashion competition took place with retailers from poland , chekoslovakia , romania , and hungary .
since reunification , the building remained mostly empty , with the exception of a few art exhibitions and projects . in 1993 , it was sold to a frankfurt real - estate company and renovated for commercial use . in august 2003 , an article in die welt announced the new plans for the building to be brought back to life as a “projektkaufhaus für wirtschaft und kultur” ( project - mall for commerce and culture ) , where graphic designer , architects , designers and artists would work . a website and a printed brochure were released to attract the future inhabitants of the project - mall . yet , the building still remains empty .
after reunification , berlin had many abandoned buildings – not only in the former east . over time , many residential and commercial buildings have been reconstructed and gentrified , and in many cases , replaced by new buildings . property ownership disputes , heritage laws , or lack of capital investment have often delayed the process of reconstruction . this may contribute to the fact that these former fashion sites are still in existence and remain empty . fashion has often been described as medicine against collective forgetting ( benjamin ) . we traced precisely this overlap of fashion , labour , and history that make up the story of berliner chic .

thanks , very good . it is a fascinating story that too few know of . if we had a mayor who is more than a celebrity follower , he would have realized this enormous and historical potential long ago and done something to help build up all the fashion business talent that is coming to the city , – instead of his p . b . s . line , which i cannot even bear to repeat .
hi asmik , thanks for your message . yes , you may use the photos but please include a link to my website ! thank you , kat
hi kat – enjoyed your post . i wonder if you might be able to give me a lead to finding out anything about my father’s family’s lace business in berlin , which was handed over to goebbels in the 1930s before the family ( jewish ) escaped to england . the name was lowenthal . i have no idea how to discover whether there are any records of the business or its location . thanks ! carol
hi carol , there is a book by uwe westphal ( in german ) about the destruction of the ( jewish - owned ) clothing industry in berlin . he has done a lot of research on that , and you might be able to find his contact info by googling him . other than that , i would maybe also contact the fashion curators and historians at the costume library in berlin who may have more information . i know there must be fashion historians doing this research in berlin , but i don’t know them personally . i think a few emails to the costume library and the fashion curator at the kunstgewerbe museum will point you in the right direction ! kind wishes ! kat
hi kat you might be interested in my new book about the jewish fashion industry in berlin in 1935 . btw , a new , third edition of the fact book in somehow in the pipeline . regards , uwe westphal
hi i do remember your mother and that i wrote to her . pity she couldn’t tell her story . however , great to hear from you via this blog . you might be interested ( if you read german ) in my new novel about the jewish fashion industry during the nazi years . the title : ehrenfried & cohn , published by lichtig verlag , berlin 2015
i looked at this blog some time ago and was equally faszinated about the compilation of information . there are some issues they would need an update due to new research . as the author of the fact book : berliner konfektion und mode 1836 – 1939 - die zerstörung einer tradition , i’d like to make all of you aware of my new novel about the fashion industry in berlin “ehrenfried & cohn” , during the nazi period . the book was published at lichtig verlag berlin in 2015 . for further information please check my website blog as well as twitter and facebook . # ehrenfriedcohn urltoken
