TRADING IN USED
CAR IS HURTFUL
Fred Titus, of American LOcomo-
tive Company, Discusses the
Problem.

The question has often been asked,
What becomes of all the second
hand cars?" Last year 100000 new
cars were marketed, and this year,
1919. Il has been predicted that above
300 00U cars will be built and the ma
iority sold In many cases the sales
are made TO new converts whereas
on the other hand, thousands of cars
are traded in" as part payment Tor
the newer models by owners through
out the country, who are only salts
fled with the latest car, though the
car they have Is practically as use
ful as the day OF Its original pur-
chase.
In the early days OF the automo-
bile trade some anxious dealer found
that he had overloaded himself with
cars from the factory he represented.
In order to reduce his liability to
loss, he conceived the idea of trading
the old for the new along with cash"
This practice has grown until today
It Is part Of every retailers business
and a feature OF his business that
more often than not IS the cause Of
cash loss unless he is very eXpe-
rienced IN quoting allowance prices
and very convincing at the moment
he makes the sale Of the old car. The
for the dealer and the user.
A Practical Solution.
In New York City this particular
trading feature Is handled as a bust
ness by Itself in the following man
ner: The customer drives up to the
showroom i'm his old car, is greeted
by the "affable salesman" who at
once starts IN to sell him the car
he is representing, and finally after
ali the good features" have had time
to sink home" the question Of a
trade allowance is discussed, and at
this moment the salesman calls for
the man who does nothing else but
buy and sell second hand cars. This
man looks over the customers car.
tries it out. and returning gives both
the customer and salesman the figure
at which "he can see daylight" in a
re- sale This figure is final. II &C
cepted a deal for a new car is made;
