Leroy DeNeal. who has been connected
with the automobile industry in Washing
ton in various capacities during the past
ten years. leaves tonight for Cleveland,
Ohio, to accept a position with one of
the automobile manufacturers of that
city.
Sanner & Berry, who have opened a
Goodyear tire service station at $50 Four
teenth street are the first tire dealers in
the city to come under the new arrange
ment that this company started putting
into effect yesterday. The Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company have inaugurated a
plan whereby the dealer agrees to carry
a certain stock of tires at all times and
to be in a position to give real tire serv-
ice to his customers. A clause in the
service station agreement which the deal
er signs provides that he shall not sub
stitute any other tire for a Goodyear
when this tire is asked for by the Gus
toner. The idea is, that in the past some
dealers have been in the habit of trying
to get the customer to take some other
article than the one he asked for because
there was a greater profit in handling it,
If it is not one thing it is another in the
automobile industry. First it was the
shortage of raw material due to the war
abroad. By persistent effort the manu-
facturers succeeded in getting enough
stock to keep up production. Now it is
the shortage of available freight cars
that is delaying the shipment of the fin
ished product On September / there was
shortage of 14.2S1 cars. One reason
given Tor this shortage is the fact that
there are u large number Of deals who
permit their shipments to remain on the
tracks for days before unloading them,
either because they figure that it is cheap
er to pay demurage than storage charges
or because they have not the money avail
able to lift the drafts. The railroads are
now working on a plan to increase the
demurage rate on sliding basis until ii
reaches s. per day. They argue that
every car thus tied up means one less in
which to ship cars and that this method
is the only one by which they can get
their cars back in service.
