Australian Dealer Charmer of
Snakes and ThrOwer of
Boomerang

Attractive personality in selling
automobiles is just as effective in for
eign lands as in the United States, ac-
cording to w. II. L.alley, foreign de-
partment manager for the Studebaker
corporation, who is just back from a
tour around the world. during which
he touched at Studabaker agencies
throughout Asia, Australia and Eu-
rope.
Mr.. Lalley cites the instance of s.
NJ. Joss, manager Of the Canada Cycle
4 Auto Co., OF Brisbane. Australia.
Some OF the deeds OF Mr. Joss would
give the most enthusiastic American
salesman pause.
Brisbane is great sheep country,
peopled largely by emigrants from
Great Britain" tells Mr.. Lalley. THE
owners OF the sheep ranches make up
a large part of the buying class and
find motor cars OF great value In their
work Few of them are motor-wise,
however, and Mr. Joss had to study
ways of getting favorable audience
for an American-made product, forced
TO compete on unfavorable tariff terms
with the leading cars from the British
factories.
Joss had made close study OF
aboriginal Australian life. The idea
occurred to him that he might put TO
practical use his ability to throw a
boomerang. He had also been gifted
with a peculiar ability to tame the
vicious snakes with which the bush
abounds. He found that many pro-
fitable opening followed demonstra-
Ition of his ability to charm snake
out of his lair or to throw the aborigi-
nal weapon on course that would
take Il around a tree and back again
to his feet. So. snake-charming and
! boomerang throwing, Joss journeyed
| through Brisbane, selling Studebaker
cars
| Now that the cars have gained their
opening, Joss finds less need for the
exercise OF his art, for Brisbane has
become fully acquainted with Stude'
baker quality and value. But the
salesmans friends once in q while
ask and get an exhibition that shows
Joss hasn't forgotten either of his
strange means OF entertainment.
one OF Mr. Lalleys problems
throughout the far east has been the
establishment OF fixed selling price.
| He found that, In many places, deal
ers were getting as much as $1,000
for the 1920 Studebaker 80 with
its electric starting and lighting equip
ment. His trip resulted in a hard, fast
rule. prohibiting a greater price than
the original list. plus the cost OF trans
portation and duties.
Had an odometer been attached to
Mr.. Lalley IL would have shown about
10000 miles as the result of his four
months trip.

although the roads west OF Albuquer-

before leaving on the trans-continen-

past six months the car has been kept
going in racing events, being the same
RICH machine which won special
trophy for its splendid work in the
road race which opened the new
Owensmouth course two months ago.
This Is believed to be the first time
that a car which has taken part in
such racing events has been carried
up to go through so strenuous a re-

The party is not trying to make any
great speed and goes along as their
pleasure may dictate. A complete
camping outfit is carried and this has
been used practically every night
since leaving Los Angeles. From
Kansas City the tourists will drive
to Detroit via st. Louis and Indianapo-
