QUESTION OF SERVICE
MUST Be CONSIDERED
Important Point to Be Remembered in
Buying Automobiles, Says
Charles Miller.
MERITS OF THE FORD CAR

Next to the merits of the car itself.

sidering. the thing to which he should
give his most careful attention is ser

Miller, of the Miller Brothers Company,
local agents for the Ford car.
Service" said Mr.. Miller. means the
owner of an automobile getting the MAXI
mum use of his car day in and day
out during the entire year. To a small
business man contemplating the purchase
/ of a delivery wagon the service he is
able to get with the purchase OF this
or that car is as important a question
as the selections Of the car itself. Hun
dreds OF automobile owners. who do not
give service its proper consideration each
year, become discontented with their cars
and buy another kind. The fault is not
entirely due to the car. The car has not
been made that will not get out Of order,
but there are certain companies that re-
quire their agents to furnish the max
imum amount of service to their pur-
chasers
THE Ford company is one Of these
concerns In our service department we
carry enough parts to build fifteen COM
plete automobiles without calling on the
factory for a single part We can re-
place an old part with a new one at
minutes notice. Ford owners in WASH
ington do not know what il means TO
lose the use of their cars on account of
delays in getting parts from the factory.
I'VE are prepared to furnish service at
any minute during the day or night In
our new quarters, Occupying an acre of
floor space, we have complete depart
ment Of every branch Of automobile man.
ufacturing. We have forge shop. where
We can turn out any part, a paint shop,
a machine shop, vulcanizing department,
lamp repair shop, and a radiator shop, in
which We can build a new radiator, II
necessary. All this insures service for
Ford owners. In event of a severe ac-
cident we have emergency cars at the
disposal of our patrons. Our large force
OF skilled mechanics, each one a special
list in his line, makes 1t possible for US
TO repair and deliver the same day a car,
no matter how badly IL is wrecked, SO
long as the frame is intact.
"In addition to our repair shops we
have a large accessory department and
a trimming department where we can
make tops, hood covers, or re-upholster
a car
Another thing which makes It possible
for us to give Ford owners the maximum
amount OF service is the policy OF CO.
operation we have with our employees.
Our men are made to feel that they are
part Of the business and no man is
ever discharged or called down unless
absolutely necessary. II he Is careless
with his work he is fined. and the amount
deducted from his wages.
'T believe that We have the largest
and best equipped service department in
the South, and our plant Is always open

The shop Early for Christmas COM
mittee of the Retail Merchants Associa-
ton is hard at work, and is accomplish
ing big things in the way of promoting a
propaganda that will benefit the public
and the army OF clerks engaged in cater
ing to the wants of shoppers.
Reports from the big and little retail
stores of the city indicate that Christmas
shopping is reaching record proportions
for this time OF the year. While there
has been the usual run on holiday
goods" at the stores II is declared that
the useful Christmas giving propaganda
is getting in its work also, for there are
reports of selections Of wearables and
home furnishings "for delivery on Christ
mas Eve"
The retail stores of the National Capt.
tai have made ample preparations to
handle this feature OF the Christmas
trade. Once a selection is made, 1t is but
an easy matter to wrap or crate the
goods and put them away for delivery
on a specified date.
Merchants in the downtown districts
are regretting these days that the
business streets are not better lighted,
1t grows dark about As O'Clock, SO that
the streets are crowded with a. hustling
army OF humanity, cropping about in
streaks OF light and shadows until $50
O'Clock, when there is lull while the
residents OF the city are taking dinner
and preparing to go forth for the even
ing's amusements. which again brings
them to the downtown streets in many
cases.
The merchants interest in the better
lighting of the downtown streets is fur
ther heightened by the fact that the
family providers-men and women who
are busy in shop and office all day long
wouldg like to have an opportunity to 20
downtown to look in the windows at the
pretty displays.
Window dressing has been elevated TO
an art, indeed, by the Washington
stores 1t requires an infinite amount Of
taste. a keen perception Of the value Of
colors in their relation to one another.
and a sense of proportions and lines that
would do credit to a master designer.
Some one of these days a national win
dow dressing contest will be held, and II
Is declared that II will be part OF good
Judgment to bet on the entry from the
