about the way in which the sales room

manner of conducting an automobile bust

Said he, "The automobile business is
Just as legitimate as any business, and can
be run on as clean lines as any business.

that day is passed. Owners Of cars and
prospective buyers are informed and from
now on 1t will be, 1t seems to me, the nan
who is clean, and careful and always
watchful OF his customers who may hope
for their patronage. Owners know when
their cars are neglected, and when the
charges are exorbltant, and when the dealer
is not reliable. If they have not already
withdrawn their patronage from him, they
will do so.
Mr.. Sweet went on to say tina where he
had been, he found competition sharp, and
ealer were employing only the best bust
ness methods. The fellows who were ques-
tionable, were about out Of the game.
Work on the new garage of the Sweet
