Used Car. Great Value.

In other words, the motor car dealer
who has sold, say. 1000 used cars to 1000
well-satis1ed customers Is In consider
The Washington herald., 1916-04-16
by ..sp' GRoGAN.

Buying used cars Is not today the
gamble that II was few years ago.
Every dealer today who takes q sec
ond hand machine as part payment
on new car before he offers this car
for sale again makes sure that 1t Is
In good condition. Most of them, in
fact. go SO far as to rebuild the car
entirely and also give 1t a coat of
paint. More than this. they stand
back of the sale.
While their guarantee on q used
car is not as broad as II is on a new
machine, still when they sell o. used
car they feel morally responsible to
the purchaser that the car must be
as represented and II 1t does not live
up to the claims made for 1t. It is
up to them to see that II does.
There are some who. though in the
market for q used car. are skeptical
about buying from dealer. They
would rather buy from an Individual.
BY so doing they imagine that they
WIN get better value for their money.
New Buyer Is Prospect.
No dealer Is anxious to take in a
second hand machine. All would pre-
fer that those who have cars to dis
pose of would attend to this matter
themselves before making the pur-
chase of q new machine. But since
the exigencies of the business require
that they must handle the used car
they put the best foot forward and
sndeayor to give the purchaser his
moneys worth. Il Is to their interest
to do so.
Each new buyer of motor car is
just one more prospect for them to
work on. He is not always going
to keep his present machine. When
he wants another IL you have already
sold him his present car, whether II is
second hand or new at the time of
purchase, and have treated him In a
businesslike manner. the chances are
that the next order will come to you.
Never before has the demand for
new automobiles been so great as 1t is
this season. It is conceded on all
sides that with an automobile produc-
tion running over 100000 cars this
year, the output, huge as 1t will be,
will be from fifty to seventy-five per
cent less than the demand. This de-
mand, which springs from every part
of the country. is based on the general
acceptance everywhere of the motor
car as q necessity.
The automobile formerly has been
viewed, at least in part, as a luxury.
Now IL Is bought and used as an inn
portsnt factor in the promotion of bus-
mess as well as for pleasure. The as
tonishing expansion of the motor truck
industry is sufficient evidence that
business houses throughout the nation
have accepted motorization of their
hauling problems as the logical solu-
tion OF this expense item of the busi-
ness house.
Argues Well for Autos.
The demand for motor cars in WASH
ington during the past two months has
been greater than during the height
of the selling season of any previous
year The freight car shortage has
made it impossible for the dealers to
receive cars as fast as they would like
to. have them. The outlying territory,
which comes under the Jurisdiction of
the local agencies, has made unusual
demands for cars. Farmers during
the past eighteen months have been
undergoing a period of exceptionally
good times, crops have been good, and

SAFETY CARBUREToR PLEAsEs
Feeds Pure Gas from Cold Gasoline
without Adjustment.

Just what the trend In the 1917 auto
mobile will be is hard to surmise at this
time, but according to one maker, the
present situation on gasoline will be
the cause of bringing out a number OF
motor and carburetor innovations which
will be adapted for the use OF kerosene
Already a carburetor which feeds pure
gas from cold gasoline or kerosene with
out adjustment has been introduced, and
IL is claimed to be an unusual fuel saver,
The new device is called the SunderInan
safety carburetor. and test made in the
laboratories of the Automobile Club OF
America revealed its many noteworthy
functions. For the new carburetor are
claimed greater power, fexibility, and
range, and it weighs but ten ounces. II
Is positively safe from baellfre and leaves
no residue.

CARBURETOR AND GAS.
High Price of Fuel Means that Care
Must Be Taken.

The increasingly high cost Of gasoline
is undoubtedly causing car owners to
give more careful consideration to the
carburetor and its correct adjustment.
And this reveals the interesting fact
that the more perfect you get the mixture
the greater the economy and efficiency
all of which means a clean motor, max
imum power and least carbon.
Hence increased csrefulness regarding
this feature is of value in more ways
than one.

One of the most effectual remedies
for wounds is found in a powder made

men. To tell the man that he cannot see
what is being done to his car, but at the
same time be expected to pay the bin.
requires firmness of purpose and a good
command of the Kings English II the
task is to be accomplished without
trouble. .
Owners Are Superficial.
The car owner has superficial know
ledge of his machine but likes to talk
about It. 1t is n form of recreation to
him. He forgets that the service man
must hear this same story from every
one who comes IN and answer all ques-
tfons that really have no bearing on the
real trouble.
A service station is a business PROPOSE
ton and should be conducted on a busi-
ness basis. the same as the drug, shoe
or grocery business; educate your custo-
mers to that end. There are some people
who are three or. four years behind in
their impressions of the automobile busi-
ness and they feel that the motor car
agent or service man Is really dread
full person to deal with. There are 9TH
ers who think differently and act differ
emily. The latter class is increasing rap
idly-help them grow. Don't kid" your
customers; be honest with them Sooner
UT idlSr Lney VIII iIlu tu8t you are not
sincere In your dealings with them and
that win make your row harder to hoe.
There are some automobile owners who
will trust you, while others would not
believe a service man on his oath. Treat
the former with the greatest fairness and
honesty. The latter will have to be ham
died with diplomacy. Practically every
service man, at some time or other, has
encountered the car owner who is so
certain that he knows what is wrong
with his machine that he refuses to listen
to the advice of the mechanic. He does
not object to being told that his deduc-
tions on the trouble with his car are
correct. But the service man can fol-
low his own ideas as to remedying the
trouble when he has the car to himself.

Demand for Automobiles Which Have Good

Dealers Consider Every Buyer Prospect for Sales Future.

ably better condition of affairs than the
dealer who has never sold any used cars
at all
For he has q large majority OF those
former buyers who viii come back TO his
place of business again. some to buy an
other used car perhaps. others TO buy a
new cas-. The L0oo satisfied customers
win. as matter Of fact, buy good
many things in the aggregate. and Il is
safe to assume that this dealing will
most likely be done with the dealer who
gave them a good deal on the initial pur-
ehase of the used car.
That In where the used car has its
greatest value for the dealer. There are
more purchasers for each new car-so
the distribution of used cars becomes a
merchandising proposition The dealer
has opportunity through II TO gain the
confidence OF a buyer just coming into
the ownership Of an automobile, and such
are the pleasure and utility values of the
motor car that the man who once owns
one ss not likely to be without one there
after.
So when q dealer disposes of. say, 800
used cars In one year and 200 new cars
In the same season, he has 100 motor car
users on his books, and the important fac
tor. as an examination by anyone of
these book records would show, Is the
fact that the names of those used car
buyers stare him in the face as better
prospects for the further sales of the new
cars he has the agency for than are the
ones who have Just acquired the new
models themselves.

oner Most Anything.

In a number of cases II Is the agent
who lays the foundation for all the serv-
ice mans trouble. Many statesmen are
too extravagant in their promises to the
customer. They will offer MIN most any
thing under the gun IN the way of serv-
ice. They know that these promises can
not be made good and haze the agency
continue as paying proposition. But
they sell the car. rheIr troubles are
over and the service mans begin. From
then on, everything is Up to him. He may
be made so mad by some of the demands
of the customer who calls upon the saies-
man to back him up that he can hardly
talk, but there is nothing to do but smile.
Some owners, who, while very bright
men in their particular lines, are en-
tirely ignorant when II comes to me-
chanical knowledge, yet they win insist
on talking about their car troubles. Car
bureter adjustments. valve and piston
slaps are discussed by them as though
they were experts. The mechanics in
the shop do not know as much about
their car as they do themselves. They
insist on visiting the shop and SUPER
vising the work being done on the car.
Here it is that diplomacy must be
brought to bear. Shops are closed to the
general public and. in some establish

1t is q wild illusion to believe .hst the

Advantages of Economy.

This is not difficult to understand. There
are several reasons for such deductions
One Is that the man who buys a used
car In many instances makes the pur-
chase solely for the purpose of making
himself familiar with motor car han
ding, 50 that he win be able better to
care for the new car he has in mind.
Another is that at the time he cannot
get delivery on a new car.
Another Is that the used car nee
essarily is one or two seasons old, un-
less one of the unusual bargains that
lie loose here and there in the row is
taken advantage OF, and this in itself
Is one Of the factors that operate to make
new car prospects of the used-car buyer
The advantages OF buying a used car,
70 begin with, are more. all told, than
the single advantage Of economy. In years
gone by the purchase of an old car was
pretty much a gamble, at least in some
quarters, but that condition has been
erased from the map of Washington map
of automobile selling. At least It has been
erased as far as the established reliable
dealer Is concerned.
Engineers frequently say that an au-
tomobile does not get what they caIl

is an established fact that racing cars,
for some reason, always have been capa-
bic or greater performances during their
second season than could be got out OF
