Tips to Car Buyers.

Hero is a good rule TO follow when you start to
trade in your old car and buy new model
Before you look at the make the rounds
Of the used car departments OF the various deal
crs in new cars and the stores of the dealers IN
used
Ask to see a car Of the make and age as
your old one, the car you wish TO trade in. If
YOU have popular make of and it Is not more
than three years old you will probably find two
or three Of the same model in the New York
exchange market.
Compare their condition with the condition Of
your car and get the dealer down 10 his rock
bottom" price If you find three or four models
about as good as yours and all the market at
different prices, add the prices together and divide
the total by the number Of you have looked at.
This will give you an average which should repre-
sent fair selling price for your Deduct from
that a reasonable profit for the dealer, who must,
Of course. sell your old again after you turn
il in and then you have arrived at the value OF
your old
Now look at the new car you have settled upon,
and il the agent offers you what you know your
car is worth do not waste more time shopping
around for longer allowance on your Old car.
You might get from another agent, but you
must consider what he is offering you In new
model.
From your own logical reasoning you hno" MS
car cannot be worth what he is asking for 1t
or he could not make you a longer allowance
than the agent who handles the car OF your first
choice.
When you try to do an agent out OF fair mar
Gin Of profit on new car, by selling him your car
for more than it is worth in the open used car
1atrket you are bucking natural law OF honest
trading and somebody is going to be the loser
IL will not iiAeiy be the agent although you may
think so when you first get the car.
1t is wise plan TO find out how much your
car is worth in the old market, but it is In
variably foolish plan TO sell it for more than 1t p
worth on trade deal involving a new car.
Owners who wish to trade in an old car often
try to get at its value by driving or sending it to
secondhand car dealer for his best cash price

The Used Car 400.

II ,bo sane senqe that wealthy man can aford
to wear shabby clothes, woman OF fashion can
afford to be seen in used car.
II would amaze you to know how many wealthy
people, men and Of high social posiuoh'
ride in Exchange cars"
We have in the United States large class OF
automobile buyers who were forced to purchase
new car every year. The eyes of their business
and social competitors are riveted upon Them ana
if thew do not appear in the latest models at the
earliest possible moment it is Immediately sent
broadcast that they are about to fail in business
The handsome cars which are annually turned in
bv this class of FIRST model buyers could not be
taken over by the buyers who are constantly search
ing for "something cheap in used car lhey
could not aford to maintain cars Of that type
which require one or servants and an enor-
nous sum for upkeep and garaging.
Only the independently wealthy can aiford 70
Luy the high class cast-off cars. They must be
INDEPENDENTLY wealthy in several ways. lhey must
own and operate a garage full Of cars, that the
addition Of another car TO their collection wou'd
not be noticed They must move among people VINO
do not discuss cars; in other words, people who
have owned cars so long they have grown tired Of
discussing them and now employ the motor only
as a ouick. comfortable convenient means of trans
portation
The high grade car is a ready seller among this
class Of automobile users. Dealers who handle
these machines know where to place them at fair
margin Of profit. To the purchaser such car IS
real bargain II Is generally in perfect mechanical
order and by making few minor changes IN Mt
tings and color the independent" man or woman
Of prominence or wealth obtains a machine which
answers every demand.
Sales Of this nature receive publicity and the
dealers who cater TO those who are always in the
market for the highest grade of exchange cars
guard their list of regular customers with secrecy
The sale IS in fact usually made not direct to tho
owner. but to his head chauffeur or purchasing
agent The wealthy men of Boston, Philadelphia
and other Eastern cities buy used cars in the New
York market
Thus we have the 400 Of the Hub and the City
of Brothery Love absorbing the cars which are
turned in by the New Yorker, who must, by reason
of his false position, take a new, expensive ma.
chine every year.

Befogging the Traveller.

There has never been time in the history Of
automobung in the United States when we needed
strong national body to combat hostile and
destructive legislation than at present Legs
latures are hot on the trail Of the motorst. Each
body of state lawmakers has its own pet ideas
about raising license fees and enacting laws to
regulate driving. Boards of aldermen and city
councils are figuring new traffic ordinances
and the curbing Of headlight glare.
The safety first" campaign is rapidly developing
into absurdty first and common last.
No one will deny that reckless driving and
head ght glare must be regulated, but there Is
no sense IN different rule for each state and
municipality. There should be a uniformity about
all laws designed TO srotect the pedestrian and
the law-abdng, reasonable motor traveller
The attempts to check headlight glare are quite
sane and proper. but If all the states are going to
fix different distance at which headlight can
show ahead of the and from the ground the
interstate tourist will be compelled to carry
specia DINNER attachment for every state he
touches.
The bills TO regulate glare fix the distance at
which the light can shine head on from 80 TO 70
feet and the elevation from the ground from TO
A. feet
If all these are passed viii need a local
pilot lawyer and tape measure whenever state
or city line is crossed IN tour
II would certainly be possible for national
motoring association TO standardize these new laws
and impress upon the various legislatures the value
Of having them uniform.
The American Automobile Association is the only
national body we have in America and could hardly
be called upon to carry on much more national
work than IL has undertaken unless the motorists
Of the country are willing to furnish larger fund
for such undertakings
The A. A. A., SO called is maintained by meagre
support from state automobile associations and
clubs. These state associations are supported by
city and county automobile clubs.
II Is natural, Of course for local club TO spend
is income at home and leave little appropriation
for the state organization, and it is equally natural
for the state organization TO confne its operations
within the borders Of its state, leaving little
appropriation for the national body
The average motorist does not realize how much
national work there is to do. When he begins to
travel outside Of his home town, county or state,

Use the Bes; Carburetor.

Il is unquestionably fact that not all OF the
cars on the American market are equipped with
the rasolene carburetor which is best suited to
their motors. Z. A. Bates. Of the Rayhed Carbu-
rotor Company. says: There are two factors for
the motorist to give especial attention if he wants
TO keep down his gasolene expense. One is the car
bureor he uses and its adjustment; the other is the
condition Of his valves.
at is very often possible al the expense required
for grinding valves TO so increase the mileage Of
any motor that the difference is very perceptble in
the gasolene bill There is also the advantage OF
more power and better running engine. Motorists
would do well If they would pay more attention TO
the valves in their car, and If It is regularly run,
have the valves ground not less than twice year,
and preferably three times. With modern motor
design valves are so accessible that this is usually
a comparatively small job, and it viii show good
results in economy.
"The most important factor in obtaining economy
is the carburetor. There a great many carhu-
retors on the market; some Of them are very good
and some of them ordinary Manufacturers, how
ever, who are affected by the cost Of their cars
quite frequently equip them with carburetors which
are not well adapted to the economical operation
Of the motors It's strange thing that some Of

The Kerosene Carbureior.

The kerosene carburctor is another hope when
has been held out recently TO the motorist who Is
worried the cost Of Easoeno Gasolene manu-
1acturers are extremely anxious to have the cause
of the kerosene carburctor advanced. | dare say
there Is clean prize of 100000 awaitng the IN
ventor Of the successful carburetor which would
use up the excess supply of lamp oil Hundreds OF
inventors are working the problem and there
ere numerous kerosene carburetors on the market
But experts tell me none Of them is suitable for the
automobile engine
A mixture Of kerosene and air il not effective In
on internal combustion engine unless It can De
delivered continuously at uniform temperature
and so far it has not been possible to accomplish
this in the automobile motor
Neither is 1t possible to start cold motor with
cold kerosene In nearly every type OF kerosene
carburetor the inventor plans to start the engine
on rasolene and then switch over to the heavier
fuel.
In addition TO these two serious objections there
is q third. which prohibits the of kerosene Il
throws off an excessive amount Of carbon, and the
valves soon fail to close tightly with the result OF
q loss Of power and the expense Of grinding the
valves frequently
Practically every kerosene carburetor inventor
offers his creation to the big oil manufacturers.
The Standard oil Company has examined and eN-
rerimented with dozens Of new kerosene carburetors,
and understand this company has not yet given
IN search for one that will meet the requirements
Of the automobile engine.
should the price Of casolene rise to so cents
gallon. as some oil predict il will, the motorls
may find it necessary to try out the kerosene car
buretor. but until that price is reached gasolene
will be the universal fuel for motor cars
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-02-06

the most popular cars should not be equipped WIN
carburetors costing the manufacturers but shght
advance. and which would prove decidedly moro sat
isfactory TO the users.
"Thcn there are cars equipped with well made
corburetors which are not properly htted 10 the
narticular motor Few motorists understand mat

results.

inferior carburetor there is nothing that will give
more pleasure, in the improved running OF the car
than the purchase Of first class carburetor. III

plain that the company would not dis

The efec. of the notification was
wholesale rush among the workmen to
take out their first papers. Factory
foremen report that the notice was IA

None Of the other American car

In explaining his reason for advanc-
ing the price of the Chalmers seven
passenger SiX-40 model 500, 10 $3.50,
Hugh Chalmers makes prediction
which IS Of interest 10 all motor car
buyers
Raw materials have advanced in
price TO new high levels in the la. few
months, and the end Is not VET in
sight" says Mr.. Chalmers. I'VE have
found il impossible TO manufacture
car conforming TO our standards of
quality at anywhere near the former
production costs Rather than sacri-
fee quality or cheaper our product in
any way we have decided to advance
the cars price.
81 predict a general upward revision
of motor car prices all along the line
before many months. There IL nc
other way out for the automobile
manufacturer.
THE European war has been respon-
sible. in ii great degree. for the big in
crease in the costs of raw materials.
