NEW IDEA IN SALESMANSHIP

MY study OF business methods con-

most important development In busi-

and Is the most vital question which
every concern has before Il now.
The automobile Industry mere than
any other offers an unusual oppor-
tunlty TO give this cooperation, be
cause the garage business has not yet

lines. The dealer IS the logical inter-
me.iiary between the buyer and manu-

But there has grown up In tue past
few years a spirit OF cooperation pc

movement gained added stimulus at
