The question OF carrying to the highest
court IN the land the constitutionality OF

executive board of the American Auto
mobile association. While there has
been an acquiescence for several years on
tho part of motorists in accepting this
tax when the money was employed in
highways progress of one kind or an
other, especially IN those states where
1t was paid IN lieu OF personal prop

winter have shown such a marked in

7vHIS is the season Of automobile
buying. Thousands of cars are
being bought and delivered
each week, and 1t seems the
greatest problem which con-
fronts the buyer at this time is not how
to get a car, but how to select the right
car.
Buying the right car is a matter of ex-
perience. whether your own or some one
else's doesn't matter. But Unless satisfac-
tory experience is back of the car you
buy, you cannot expect satisfaction in
your own case.
Since buying motor car experience is
pretty expensive, it is usually wise TO
look up the experience of others who
have used cars for one or more seasons.
especially those who have experimental
with several different kinds of cars.
You might buy pair of shoes or col
lar. say, and if you didn't like the hrst
model it would not cost you much to try
a second. If that didn't wear You could
get a third. or fourth or fifth, and the
whole experiment would cost at most
only a few dollars. But it takes very
rich man to experiment with automobiles.
buying car after car until ne gets one
that satisfies in respect to appearance,
comfort. economy, convenience and dura-
bility.
Many automobile buyers do experiment.
not because they want to and not be-
cause it is necessary. but simply be-
cause they have not taken the trouble TO
look UP the experiences of others
Here are few simple rules-and each of
them is backed by real experience-for
use in selecting a motor car.
In the first place, never buy cheap
car. BY cheap. / do not necessarily mean
low in price, though up to a certain fig
ure price usually indicates the degree of
excellence in a motor car as in any other
article.

The Two Extremes.

cars
The Two Extremes.
A really high quality car costs a few
hundred dollars more than a cheap car.
hut the difference in value is much great
er than the difference in price. That. few
hundred dollars extra spread over large
production. enables the manufacturer of
the higher priced car to use materials
and refinements which are impossible at
the lower price
The next suggestion is. do not go to the
other extreme. Do not pay a lot of money
for superficial Injuries
There are O few cars which are built
under such conditions and in such guam
titles that they offer a maximum motor
car value. They are high enough in price
to insure the best materials. the latest
features but they are standardized in
manufacture and built in large enough
quantities to guarantee the minimum
cost for such quality. Anything you pay
above the medium price Of these cars is
chiefly for pure luxuries.
Having decided on two or three cars
which approximate the price and quality
you seek. next look to the companies be-
hind the cars.
1t is easy to make advertising claims,
and on xpaper all cars look more or less
alike The vital differencesswhich make
for Your satisfaction or dissatisfaction
are not shown in printed specifications or
in advertising Hence the car that is
really manufactured by the company
whose name it bears is the safest invest
ment.
Buy a car, then, which is built by a
| strong company. backed by ample capital
| and having a large and thoroughly equip
| ped factory.
| Such Il company cannot afford to jeopar-
/ die its Internationally of S5,O0O,WO
| or 5000. O0G-by selling you a mistake or
| an experiment. The future success. the
| perntanance of the company, depends on
| satisfied users. Such a company is build
| ing for the future. else it would not build
i up a great factory and make an invest:
ment of several millions. Buy your car
| of such permanently established manu-
/ facturer.
And finally, do not buy even this car until
/ you have looked up it's record with the
people who drive it. See the owners in
your own vicinity. Find out If they are
satisfied. Then look up the experiences
| of users elsewhere. Ask the people who
| have driven cars of this make for four
/ or five years. Find out If these cars.
| which have seen several seasons use and
| tens of thousands of miles of driving, are
| still giving satisfaction
| When you have found the car that
| answers these requirements, you may
| make an investment secure in the thought
| that YOU are not buying costly automobile
