Buyers Know More of
Cars Now Than Most
Men Who Sell Them
Prospect Always Wants to Find Out
How Different Types
stana Up.

The old saying that experience is
the best teacher" is as true in auto
mobile buying as in anything else,
and the days are past when a sales
man could sell car on some detail
Of design or equipment that happened
TO take the customers eye Nova
days the prospect not only wants to
know details of construction, but he
asks How has this construction
worked out in the hands of own
ers?"-and he does not confne his
inquiries to the salesman either.
couple Of Baltimore automobile
statesmen found this out recently
when Mrs NJ. F. Dew. Stump, of Bel
Air, upset their expectations. Through
her own Investigations Mrs. Stump
had narrowed her field of choice down
to two or three of the best known
nigh priced cars, at which point she
decided to lay the matter in more ex-
perienced hands for decision. Being
a sister of a late railroad magnate.
Mrs Stump had at her command the
family's extensive experience with
cars of both American and foreign
manufacture. She therefore wired to
her brother, who has four foreign
and three American cars, asking him
his advice in the purchase of her car
He Immediately wired back from New
York as follows: II would advise
taking the x-cylinder Stearns-
knight car, then you will have some
thing first-class and the best"
Acting on her brothers suggestion,
Mrs. Stump bought the six-cylinder
seven passenger Stearns knight
touring car exhibited at the recent
Baltimore show by the Colonial Mo-
tor Company Stearns- Knight dis
tributors in Maryland, and the car
was delivered at the close OF the
show
The Colonial people report that
Mrs. Stump is glad she asked her
brothers advice; as she feels more
satisfied that her car is the best she
could buy than If she had made the
final decision herself. 1t is but an
other instance indicating the popu-
larity of the knight type motor and
the Stearns Knight car among mo-
florists of wide experience.
