Choosing a Motor Car

l There are just two ways to trace your l choice to a successful termination Start from local conditions and work I'D 10 A successful builder and maker, or analyze loeai conditions and build them up to the factory says Douglass Mcqueen. l The factory is far, far away to most
 owners and manufacturing methods are
 to him unknown. But the magic word success makes us all stop and listen To | the claims of the motor car salesman. lou are advised to accept the fruits Of n | leaders genius as a successful engineer. man who has been the designer of six dlnerent successes in the motor car world, ana now heads thriving organization whose cars are standing up under Bir- mingham's local conditions The sales man goes further and says we have every adNantage Nto offer you over our rivals we ofter car that Is up to date now .nd Will still be up to date two years from now, when you want to sell and buy new car for spring. The magic word
 sen s,arter appeals to the lady who wants to drive her own car.
 Fig tires and the car weighs less than SAO pounds, rides just right and the tires last long time; for the weight Is not ,oo much simple car with few parts ana the plotor all inclosed, no chance for the aust and dirt to work in, accessibil.- " to all oilng points. The lines of the car nave grace and beauty and the up solsteiy has finished look. The floor poards 1t and when you sit at the wheel your hands rest naturally on the steering wheel and you could drive for hours with the greatest comfort
 The doors fit, the wheels have n sturd&- look and are firmly held with a bolt for eFely spoke. The springs are long and easily oiled Grease cups easily reached and leather boots to protect the stering connections. Simplicity always.
 ou say yes to all this and wonder now you will be treated after the dealer gets your money. Is his garage neat and clean? Will he give you service in the full meaning of. that word as defined by good business sense? Is his supply of parts ample to take care of you in case of accident? Are his mechanics expar- fenced factory and field men? Will you get a square deal from the local repre- sentative of a successful motor car com pany?
 And finally the automobile business is getting down on the basis of any other well organized business and you must get the full value out of your car and the dealer and his men must see that you get as many miles the road as you want and as few minutes in the shop as possi- ole with the use your machinery is put to and the care in driving and oiling you give your car
 Buy from a dealer who carries a biz supply of parts. accidents will happen and you don't want to loose the use of your car any longer than is necessary.
 "A well kept garage, neat and clean mechanics who have had both repair and factory experience and a square deal from the local representative of a well established factory mean all that the owner can ask
 Treat the car right and you will enjoy to the fullest extent the finest pleasure money can buy
