1t goes hard with a man when, after
expanding much time and energy in max
ing a sale of an automobile, he is COM
PEELED to refund the deposit because he
cannot make delivery as per schedule.
This is what some OF the dealers have
been compelled to do and are being
forced to do right now. 1t is not sales
talk either, as some may believe. Ask
any of them who are selling cars that
have been on the market some little time
and gained popularity about it. Also
have them show you copies of the letters
and kilograms which they sent to the
factory and the answers which they re-
neived.
During the month of February more
automobiles were sold by the manufac-
turers than were sold during the biggest
month last year, which was July. 1t is
an unprecedented demand and, with the
increased cost of raw material and the
scarcity of it., the question has assumed
very serious phase, On top of this is
the fact that the railroads are unable
to furnish freight cars in which to make
shipments from the factory to the dealer
So long as the cars remain in the fac
tories possession, they cannot realize
any money on them. Today there are
millions Of dollars worth of motor cars in
and around Detroit that cannot be moved
owing to lack of freight cars.
At the same time the dealers are burn
Ing the wires calling for machines and
the public are raking the agents over
the Goals because they are not receiving
the delivery of their car as per schedule
1t Is not condition existing with one
manufacturer alone. but with all of them
Add to this the complaint of the sales
man. who is working on a drawing ac-
count and commission. He has not any,
thing to sell and some of the orders which
he has closed are being Cancelled.
The automobile industry has grown so
fast that 1t is a wonder that the manu-
facturers have been able to care for the
wants of the buying public as well as
they have done. Ten years ago five thou
sand cars year was only a dream To-
day there are factories that are building
almost that many day and selling them
Every SO often a man imagines that
he must have a new car matter in
what condition the one he now owns is.
Immediately he begins shopping around
for machine and even if not imagines
that he Is motor wise. Like everyone
| else, he is as anxious to get as much
for his old car as possible. This thought
sometimes becomes uppermost in his
mind and he does not stop to consider
the essential features that the car he is
looking at has or should have. The way
new cars are going today means that this
mans days, as a David Harum of the
automobile business, are numbered. Al
ready some of the agencies are refusing
to take in secondhand machines at any
price. and 1t will not be long before 9TH
ere follow suit.
