to back-pedal a bit on the proposition.

for large factory. the buyer simply
placing his order, which was transmitted
/ to the factory, and the building Of the

courts held that the selling Of an auto
mobile by the Pittsburgh firm was not an
act Of interstate commerce and required
| the payment of a tax The dealers ap-
pealed from this decision to the Supreme
Court of the United States. which re-
Gently held that the states have the right
and the power to levy such taxes, and
that when the cars are handled by an
agent they cannot be construed as enter
ing into interstate commerce.
The manufacturers of the country have
heretofore been very arbitrary with the
dealers, as a rule. They have framed up
contracts. reserving unto themselves the
right OF cancellation upon notice, but not
extending the same right to the dealers
A dealer in New Jersey decided to test
this matter in the courts, and 1t has been
held in the United States courts that a
contract Of this nature cannot be binding,
since the right of cancellation must lie in
each Of the contracting parties, or else
with neither Of them.

It requires nearly 10000 automobile
dealers to handle the output of the auto
mobile factories of the United States.
That the retailer makes good profit out
of the business is revealed by the fact
that one firm in New York city recently
has entered into a lease for quarters for
period of ten years. during which time
it agrees to pay a rental Of $15OOOo. In
many cases the retail man gets a COM
mission of % per cent on all cars sold.
1t Is probable that in some cases the mar
gin for the retailer is much higher than
this. 1t is predicted that the total num-
Der of cars sold for the season Of 1912
will approximate $4,000 which would be
an average of something like twenty-five
cars for each dealer. OF course, a very
large number Of the 10000 dealers in the
United States handle only a compare
lively few machines, and these figures
would not be representative of the bust
ness done by the retailers of the larger
cities.

hour of the day. One Of the develop
ments of the retail automobile trade is
the growing favor with which the motor
car is being received in the southern
states With warm winters, the motor
ing season in the south is practically per-
ennial, and the building Of good roads
in most of the southern states Is affording
opportunity for the use of automobiles
which has not been possible before.
1t has been estimated that fully one
third of all the automobiles sold in the
United States may be traced to the d.
manufacturers have been wont to neglect
the little matter Of ''hxings'' which would
take the eye of women, but the 1912 sea-
SON has seen an unprecedented effort to
bring out cars pleasing to womankind.

one may find upholstery of the most deli

usually defer to the men in the matter of

sold a car to Hungarian, who had de-
posted 1000 francs for 1t. When the
Hungarian tried out his at Budapest,
he found that the steel used in the ma
chine did not come up to the representa-
tons Of the manufacturer. He demand
ed the return of his money! demand
which the manufacturer refused to meet.
A suit was then brought in the Hun
garian courts, and the buyer won. The
manufacturer concluded that he had not
got square deal in the foreign courts
and appealed to what is regarded as
Frances most impartial tribunal-the
court OF cessation This tribunal upheld
the decision of the Hungarian court. But
it went even further than this 1t i'm

In view of the heavy output of auto

to meet their obligations All sorts of
methods are resorted to to secure ready
money, and, at the same time to prevent
the sale of new cars below list prices In
some instances they go so far, it is said,
as to take a new car out, run II through
mud for while so as to give it the ear
marks Of a secondhand machine, and
then they sell 1t for whatever they can
get out Of 1t. In spite Of all the heroic
methods which are sometimes pursued
in efforts to save factories from financial
embarrassment, they often get caught
and one can seldom look over a trade
paper without reading Of one or more
factories going to the wall.
One OF the recent developments in the
selling end OF the automobile business is
the establishment Of sort Of keep-your-
car-in-order service. This service has
proved thing to conjure with in the au-
tomobile world. and hundreds Of sales are
erected upon the promises of an agent Of
a thousand-and-one good things which he
says will cut down the use of this manu-
facturer's service. The trade journals as
sert that the tendency among agents is
often the result is embarrassment both to
the buyer and the seller of the car.
An effort is being made among the deal
ers OF certain important cities to reach a
general understanding as to what treat
ment shall be given the prospective pur-
chaser OF new car who owns an old
one. In many cases ambition to make a
sale is said to result in a higher price be-
ing allowed on secondhand cars than
conditions really warrant. The effort is
to have all of the dealers notify each
other of the kind and character of each
secondhand automobile offered in trades
Tor new ones. without disclosing the name
of the prospective purchaser. 1t is said
that never before has the demand for Sec
ondhand cars been as light as it is today.
In former years the secondhand cars
were sent to the rural districts and found
a fair market there. Today the resident
of the country town, as well as the farm
er. wants a new machine if he buys any
at all.
