The answer Is that in almost the same words used in talking to g manufactures in another line the other day.

By concentrating the attention of the buyer upon the service, satisfac- ton and comfort he can get out of the car, he can make 1t so desirab ble 10 the prospective buyer that he will be glad to pay the price, This advertising backed up by good salesmanship through the medium of salesmen keenly sold on the ear and convinced that it is worth every dollar they are asking for 1t. will sell cars at full price

 Every automobile manufacturer should make it clear to his deal- CTS that he does not want any cut prices or trades made upon his car whatever This presupposes. of course. that the price is fair one and just one because au- tcmoble buyers are looking for the max imum value for their money.
 Of course if the price is placed at SC high figure--that the manufactured cannot convince the dealer that the cal is worth every penny of the price to the user-that is different matter. In that case the price should he made right in the beginning and not bv cutting prices or trading Trading is nothing more or less than price-outting and nobody has Full respect for the value of anything he buys. if he gets it at a lower price than is put upon it by the manufacturer.
 The dealer should be urged to cut out the trades absolutely, and sell cars for full value.
 The maintenance of price is essential to the maintenance of confidence Cutting the price often "queers" sale altogether. It surely results in killing the confidence among prospects who have not yet pur- chased. to say nothing of the harmful ef feet upon dealers in other localities who may hitherto have maintained the price.

INTERESTING GOSSIP OF BIRMINGHAM AUTOMOBILISTS

this entry showed that there was no sin oere intention in the first instance to have the car compete.
 The Mission Motor Car company of Los Angeles. agents for the Houraine car, were disqualified and suspended to Jan uary l. 1915. for violation of rule 10. in ad- vertising the Touraine car which partici- pated in the Vanderbilt cup race as being 'the only stock car in the bunch, when ] the event was sanctioned as a non-stock race.
 Consideration was given to the mislead- ing advertisement of the Maxwell Motor
 company following the 300 mile race at h. dianapols, and the Maxwell Motor com pany agreed to publish aN retraction of

FEARSoME MEMBER OF SPIDER
FAMILY INSPIRES WEIRD STORY

1t has been suggested to the Daily
News and the GazetteNews by Ger
tain persons in Daytona that warn
ing be published in the papers in
forming the public of the presence OF
large spider or tarantula. Some
who have seen it say it is the size OF
a mans hat and others positively as
sert that the "wampus," so often dis
cernable after dark by superstitious
colored people, looks like nit com
pared to this mighty insect,
The descriptions of the spider as
given by at least three persons tally
exactly 1t is of a dark brown color
has two legs on one side and four
on the other 1t has been seen in nu
merous places about town, including
Pete Rodgers pool parlor, the pier at
Daytona Beach, and as far south as
the inlet. Hunters like Dick" Por
ter, Mortimer Myers of the Cleveland
hotel, and DR.. Klock have actually
come in contact with the insect, out
in the sticks, which probably accounts
for its MANNED condition, due to the
unerring aim of these famous marks
men.
4 mystery that is beyond any solu-
ton seems to surround this very I'M
usual insect, since it takes four steps
forward on one side and but two on
the other, causing circular move
ment, which makes 1t impossible to
reach a given point. That the same
spider has been seen in places far re-
moved from Daytona cannot be ac-
counted for in any way other than
that it originally hailed from the
north, where even the mosquitoes, after
having stung their object, do not take
time to stop and pull out their sting
ers, but break them off. Then, too,
it might be that the balmy climate OF
Florida had so strengthened the de-
crepit insect that it became possible
for it to complete a half Giro e, turn
and go backward, thus finishing its
course.
