BUYING 2D-HANO CARS
ADVANTAGES DISCUSSED BY AN
AUTO EXPERT.
Tells What to Look For, Where and
When to Find Thriving
Learned Easily.
RY LFpwIG ISENBERG.
Manager Roman AUTO Company

Manager Roman AntO company.
BY Ledwig Isenberg, manager, Roman
Auto Co.:
If YOU buy a second hand car to begin
with, you can't lose over half If dissafts-
fed or unable to operate it. If you pur-
chase a new car and use it, it becomes
second hand and you lose half.
The secondhand car costs You from
$500 to about $500; new one, from $1,000
to $500 Which is the safer and better
proposition to start with? Use your own
Judgment on this advice.
The man who never owned an auto and
has a limited amount of cash to invest
in a car is timid because he has little
mechanical ability. and therefore Is
afraid he cannot operate car or keep it
running.
A few years ago there were few that
understood the operation and care of an
automomile. Today there are thousands
operating and caring for their own cars;
Physicians, business men, farmers. all
had to take chance. With little anlbi-
ton and perseverance they now control
and operate their own machines
Any One Can Learn.
There are still thousands who would
like to enjoy the pleasure of autong with
their family and friends, but the STUN
bling block before them seems to be
can handle it?' There is no question
of handling and caring for the smaller
parts of the machine. if you will only
make up your mind to conquer all objec-
tons.
Today we see women driving runabouts
and touring cars on endurance runs and
through our large and crowded cities.
Why can't our intelligent men of today
get along?
OF course. the next point is: What car
shall / buy? This is as important as the
question of handling the car.
The first thing to decide is how large
q car you want, whether a two. three
or four passenger car, light or heavy in
weight. The heavier the car, the more
it costs to operate 1t.
But do not expect light car, which
is cheaper to operate, to do the same
work and carry the same load as a
large and more powerful car. Do not
buy a runabout and carry extra passen-
gers, and when the car gives you trouble
blame 1t on the car.

Free to Look Over.

Today there are firms handling slightly
used cars who have shops where they
overhaul all their cars and any one con-
templating the purchase OF a car can go
there and learn something of the various
makes Of cars. This is all free.
Upon the understanding that you pur-
chase car, the different firms will also
give you man to teach you to operate
d car. SO there really Is no reason why
man should not own a car and operate
and care for it at small expense.
But, of course, buying used auto is
like any other secondhand business.
There are firms that handle better cars
and have better prices than others. 1t is
up to you to get the best car suitable for
your purpose at the best figure.
Our advice is to go from one dealer to
the other and do business with the one
you consider best. l would not advise
YOU to purchase OF the first or second
firm, no matter how good their PROPOSE
ton sounds. You are in all probability
investing 500 or $500 more; look
around and satisfy yourself that you have
bought the best bargain.
The present season of the year is as
good time as any to purchase. In fact,
We believe you can do little better right
now than later. as the stock is select.
they have had time during the winter to
thoroughly overhaul every car and put it
| in spiCk and span order.
| Their stock, no doubt, is large and bust
ness being a little quiet, they will. with
| out question. sell closer now than at the
height of the season. And most dealers
| will hold the cars until spring or until you
are ready to take them away free OF
storage.
Then you have also the opportunity OF
going into their shops and getting ia
mliar with the automobiles. And when
spring comes YOU and your family will
be ready to enjoy spins through the park
| and over our beautiful roads.
| At the present time with large stocks
| OF slightly used cars offered at low fig
| ures there is no reason why every one
| should not own an auto.
